It's easy! The kitchen manager can set up a new client (option 1), or the food business can do it (option 2).

If the prospect has no Food Corridor account yet: Follow these steps, and then instruct them to build a food business profile.

If the prospect has a Food Corridor account, but is not assigned to your kitchen account yet: Instruct the client to follow these steps.

Prospects need to submit a request by signing up for an account with The Food Corridor. When they create their account, they can choose you as their "home kitchen." They can follow these steps.

Prospects will simply request to join your kitchen. To do so, they will Log into their account > click the gear icon (upper righthand corner) > choose Account Settings > Business Profile. > Scroll to "Home Kitchen" > Search and select your kitchen name > Save.
​

You will see a red dot next to your Prospects tab. When you click on your Prospects tab, you will see the new prospect. You can then mark them as 'in progress' or 'delayed' for the status. Once you are ready to turn them into a client, you will click the check mark circle to 'Approve as Client.' A box will pop up for you to select their billing plan, mark if you want to automatically approve bookings or not, and select if the client is a manual paying client.

Once you have filled out the account setup, and click 'Approve Client,' the prospect will be moved into the Clients tab.
