Initial Authorization & Device Pairing
A guide on how to authorize the RestIQ app on its first launch using a Pairing PIN to connect the device to your restaurant chain.
When launching the RestIQ application for the very first time on a new computer or tablet, the system must identify the device. To determine which specific restaurant and chain this terminal belongs to, a unique connection code is required—the Pairing PIN.
Open the RestIQ application on your designated work device.

The screen will ask you to enter the Pairing PIN. This code is generated in the RestIQ admin panel (Back-office) or can be provided by your RestIQ system administrator.

The system will securely connect to the cloud and link your hardware to the correct restaurant database. Once successfully paired, the device is ready for daily operations, and staff can begin logging in with their personal employee PINs.
