# Getting started

Say your restaurant just decided to open online bookings this week. This page
takes you from signing in to receiving your first booking.

## Sign in to the back office

Open [tabler.pro/admin/login](https://tabler.pro/admin/login) in a browser and
enter the credentials we provided. The back office works on phones, tablets,
and computers; floor staff sign in on their own devices and every screen stays
in sync in real time.

Don't have an account yet? Email [team@tabler.pro](mailto:team@tabler.pro) or
[book a demo](/en/#demo) from the home page and we'll set your restaurant up.

## Follow the Getting started checklist

After your first sign-in, the top of the **Overview** page shows a
**Getting started** checklist — the five things to do before taking bookings,
each ticked off as you complete it:

![Overview page with the Getting started checklist and today's numbers](../../../../assets/docs/admin-dashboard.png)

1. **Add your tables** — go to [Tables](/en/docs/tables) to create your areas
   (counter, main floor, private room…) and each table's party-size range.
2. **Set your weekly service hours** — go to [Hours](/en/docs/schedule) to set
   lunch and dinner periods and closed days.
3. **Review booking rules** — go to [Settings](/en/docs/settings) to decide the
   booking window, auto-confirm vs. review-first, and the cancellation policy.
4. **Put the booking button on your website or blog** — follow
   [Booking link & embed button](/en/docs/booking-link) to add the entry point
   to Google Business Profile, Instagram, and your site.
5. **Receive your first booking** 🎉 — new bookings pop up as notifications and
   appear in [Live floor](/en/docs/floor) and [Reservations](/en/docs/reservations).

The checklist detects the first two steps automatically; once everything is
done it tucks itself away, or press **Hide** to dismiss it early.

## Not sure what's where? Tour the back office

The **🧭 Tour the back office** button at the top right of the checklist walks
you through all eight sections of the back office, pausing on each page to
explain what it does. Great for first-time setup or training new staff.

## Language

Both the back office and the guest-facing pages support Chinese and English —
switch anytime with the **中文 / EN** toggle at the bottom right (top of the
screen on phones). Guest pages follow each guest's own browser language, so
there's nothing to configure for them.
