Log in and set up

What it's for​

Signing in connects you to your restaurant's live data — its menu, tables, orders, and staff. Managers and owners sign in with an email and password; staff can sign in quickly at the counter with a PIN.

Where to find it​

Open app.dashdinner.com in your browser. The login screen appears first.

Walkthrough​

  1. Enter your email and password, then choose Sign in.
  2. On a shared terminal, staff can tap PIN login and enter their 4-digit PIN.
  3. You land on the dashboard. The left sidebar is your map to every part of the product.
WebThe web login screen. Staff use PIN login on shared terminals.

Worked example​

A new server starts their shift. The manager creates the server in Workforce, sets a PIN, and hands them the terminal. The server taps PIN login, enters their PIN, and is ready to take orders in seconds — without knowing the manager's password.

Tips & things to watch​

  • ✅ Use PIN login for the floor. It's fast and keeps each server's actions under their own name for reports and the audit trail.
  • ✅ Stay signed in on the terminal. DashDinner keeps working through brief network drops and syncs when you're back online.
  • ⚠️ Forgot the password, not the PIN. A PIN only works once a manager has created the staff member. If PIN login rejects you, check with your manager that your account exists.
