Help & FAQ
The questions we hear most while setting up and running Cloche. Can't find your answer? Email us — we usually reply the same day.
Getting started
How long does set-up take?
Most cafés are live in 15–30 minutes. Sign up, upload your logo (we take your colours from it), add your menu and print your table QR cards.
Do I have to type my menu in by hand?
No. Upload a photo or PDF of your printed menu on Menu → Import & export; AI reads the dishes, prices and categories and you review them before saving. You can also import a spreadsheet.
Can you set it up for me?
Yes. Send us your menu and our team builds it, with images and table cards, then hands the account over to you.
Do guests need an app?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera or tap the NFC tag, and the menu opens in the browser.
Allergens, calories and languages
How do allergens work?
Tick the 14 allergens for each dish and option. Guests see them as icons on every dish and can hide anything containing allergens they avoid.
Where do calories come from?
Turn them on in Settings → Guest features and AI estimates approximate calories for each dish. Edit any value on the dish form — your value is never overwritten. Guests see “~450 kcal” with an explanatory note, plus the 2,000 kcal daily guidance.
How does the menu appear in other languages?
Choose languages in Settings → Country & language. Dishes are translated automatically when you save; review them in Menu → Translations. Guests get the menu in their phone's language.
Tables, QR and calling the waiter
How do I print table QR cards?
Add your tables in Service → Tables & QR and press “Print QR cards”. Each table gets its own QR code, and Insights shows scans per table.
How do I turn on call-the-waiter?
Enable it in Settings → Guest features. Guests tap “Call waiter” or “Bill” and the call appears on the Calls screen with a sound.
I don't hear the call sound.
Keep the panel open on the service phone or tablet and press “Test sound” on the Calls page at the start of each shift. Make sure the phone isn't on silent.
Offers, feedback and insights
How do I add an offer or a notice?
In Menu → Offers & notices, give a dish an offer price and hours, or write a notice shown at the top of the menu. It disappears automatically when it ends.
Where do I see guest feedback?
Guests → Feedback. Guests who give 4–5 stars can be sent on to your Google review page (add your Google review link in Settings → Buttons).
Can I show the menu on a TV?
Yes. Use the “Show your menu on it” link at the bottom of Share & print → Links, and open that address in the TV's browser.
Team, account and plan
How do I add my staff?
Invite them by email from Team & plan. The Staff role only sees calls and sold-out marking; they can't change prices or settings.
I forgot my password.
Press “Forgot password” on the sign-in page; we email you a link that works for one hour. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive.
What happens after the trial?
Choose a plan to continue. Your menu stays online for 14 more days while you decide, and nothing is deleted.
How do I cancel?
Just email us. Cancel within 14 days of your first paid period for a full refund. You can export your menu as a spreadsheet.
