How to set up your Hostme account

Now that you've signed up and started using the Hostme free trial, make sure to do the following:

• You can go through all the settings in the admin panel one by one, which we recommend, so you'll be sure that you didn't miss any of the important settings.

• If you don't plan to use some of the features we offer, you can hide them from the Host panel (go to Admin panel -> Settings -> Interface adjustments).

  

• And finally, please take a look at this article in Hostme help center

  Restaurants

  For example, you sign up for one location and are listed as the owner.
  If you add the same email to the user list for a second location, you will be able to see that restaurant in the admin panel -> restaurants.

  So, under Restaurants, you see all the restaurants where you're listed as a user (no matter which role you have).
