Maitaki has four main places, plus a button for adding things and an account menu. On a phone they sit along the bottom and top of the screen. On a computer they’re in a sidebar on the left.
On a phone
Along the bottom:
| Tab | What’s there |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Today at a glance: sales, labor, purchases and more. See Your dashboard, card by card. |
| Chat | Ask Maitaki questions about your restaurant. See Ask Maitaki a question. |
| + | The round button in the middle. Adds an invoice, a menu and more. |
| Library | Your Ingredients, Recipes and Menus. |
| Purchases | Reports, Invoices, Vendors and Compare. |
Along the top:
- On the left, the name of the screen you’re on. On a screen you’ve tapped into, it has a back arrow. Tap it to go back.
- On the right, a pill with your location and your avatar. Tap it to open the account menu.
- Next to it, the round tray icon opens the Inbox. The number on it counts items that need you.
On a computer
The sidebar on the left has Dashboard, Chat, Library, Purchases and Inbox. Below them:
- New opens the same choices as the + button on a phone.
- Your name and current location, at the bottom, open the account menu.
On a computer there’s no back arrow in Maitaki. Use your browser’s back button.
Add something with +
Tap + (or New on a computer) and pick:
| Choice | What it does |
|---|---|
| Scan Invoice | Photograph or upload invoices. See Photograph a delivery invoice. |
| Deposit slip | Snap a bank deposit slip. Only shows when cash deposit tracking is on. |
| Log cash | Record cash sales. Only shows when Manual Cash Logging is on. |
| Scan Menu | Read sections, items and prices from a photo of your menu. |
Don’t see the + button? You have Viewer access, which can look but not add. See Roles: who can do what.
The account menu
Open it from your location and avatar (top right on a phone) or your name (bottom left on a computer). It has:
- Your name and email. Tap to open your profile.
- Your locations. Tap one to switch. See Switch between locations.
- Activity, a log of what’s changed at this location. See See what changed in Activity.
- Settings, for your locations, team and connections.
- Log out.
- The app version, at the bottom. See Update the Maitaki app.
