Zahli Guides

Signing in in a browser

On the venue’s phones you sign in like everyone else, with your name and password or your Staff QR (see Signing in in the Waiter guide). In a browser, a Manager signs in with email and password and lands in the admin app.

Sign in

Section titled “Sign in”
  1. Open app.zahli.ch.
  2. Enter your Email and Password, for Michael michael@beizli-muster.ch, and click Sign in.
  3. If you have set up two-factor authentication, the page then asks for a Code ①: the six digits your authenticator app shows now, or one of your recovery codes. Click Sign in again.

The admin app opens at Today → Needs attention. On a computer others use too, sign out when you leave: Sign out at the foot of the sidebar.

Set up two-factor authentication

Section titled “Set up two-factor authentication”

Two-factor authentication is optional for Managers, and worth it: someone who learns your password still cannot sign in without your phone. It applies to signing in with your email in a browser; on the venue’s phones nothing changes.

  1. Click your name at the foot of the sidebar: Your account opens.
  2. Click Set up two-factor authentication.
  3. Scan the QR code ① with an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator. Enter the six digits it shows ② and click Confirm and turn on ③.

  1. Zahli now shows ten Recovery codes ①, this once only. Each one works once instead of a code from the app, for when your phone is lost. Write them down or print them, keep them away from your phone, and click I have saved the codes ②.

Keep the recovery codes safe: without your phone, they are the only way in. To turn two-factor authentication off, for example before moving to a new phone, enter your Password on the same page and click Turn off; then set it up again on the new phone.

Between admin app and staff app

Section titled “Between admin app and staff app”

One sign-in serves both apps in the same browser.

  • Today → Service opens the staff app in a browser tab of its own, the same tab each time, so the admin page stays where it was. Serve there as the Waiter guide describes; see also Service.
  • To go back, switch to the browser tab of the admin app.
  • Sign out in either app signs this browser out of both.

Example: Michael has the Statistics open on the office laptop when Table 6 wants to pay. He clicks Service, takes the Payment in the staff app’s tab, and switches back to the Statistics.
