## Before You Begin

You’ll need:

- Your restaurant’s basic information (name, address, hours)
- A valid credit card for billing
- About 10 minutes

> [!TIP]
>
> Use your restaurant’s main email address for easier team management later.

1. ### Create your account & get started

   ![](https://docs.maple.inc/images/complete-on-my-own.png)

   You’ll be asked how you’d like to complete onboarding:

   - **Complete On My Own** — you’ll fill in all the details yourself
   - **Invite A Team Member** — send the onboarding to a manager to complete on your behalf

   Select your preferred option and click **Continue**.

   **Tip:** If you’re the owner or manager setting things up directly, select “Complete On My Own” to get through this fastest.

3. ### Enter your legal business name

   Enter the **legal name of your business entity** — for example, *Maple’s Burgers LLC*. This is used for your merchant account and billing records. It will **not** be visible to your customers.

   Click **Continue** when done.

   You can always add more locations later from your dashboard.

5. ### Choose your plan

   Select the plan that fits your needs: **Maple Voice** (answers customer calls and inquiries), **Maple Pro** (voice plus ordering and reservations), or **Maple Enterprise** (for businesses with more than 10 locations; contact sales).

   You can change your plan at any time from your dashboard.

6. ### Confirm subscription details & complete payment

   Review your subscription summary. Click **Open Secure Checkout Link** to proceed to payment.

   ![](https://docs.maple.inc/images/confirm-subscription-details.png)

   On the checkout page:

   1. Enter your **card number, expiration date, and CVC**
   2. Enter your **cardholder’s name**
   3. Select your **country** and enter your **ZIP code**
   4. Optionally add a **promotion code** if you have one
   5. Click **Subscribe** to complete your purchase

   All payments are processed securely through **Stripe**. Your card will be billed monthly. Checkout shows what you owe today before you pay.

   A **Processing Your Payment** screen will appear — wait for it to complete before proceeding.

7. ### Enter your location's phone number

   ![](https://docs.maple.inc/images/location-phone-number.png)

   Enter your restaurant’s **main phone number**. This will be visible to your customers and can be changed later. 

   Click **Save & Continue**.

   This is your existing restaurant line — the one customers already call. You’ll set up call forwarding at the end of onboarding.

8. ### Add your restaurant's website (optional)

   ![](https://docs.maple.inc/images/website.png)

   Enter your restaurant’s website URL if you have one. Maple uses this to learn more about your business and tailor the AI to your needs.

   If you don’t have a website, click **Skip Adding A Website**.

   Otherwise, enter your URL and click **Save & Continue**.
