โ—Quick Start

Get your first restaurant working in this order.

1

Install the dependencies

Start these before envi-restaurants:

  • ox_lib

  • envi-bridge

  • envi-cooking-props

  • envi-zone-tool

If you use the employee computer features, also start envi-computer before envi-restaurants.

2

Add the inventory items

The database builds itself on first start.

You still need to register the packaged items in your inventory.

  • For ox_inventory, copy the install list into ox_inventory/data/items.lua

  • For QB, copy the install list into your shared items file

Use the full notes in Inventory Setup.

3

Create the restaurant

Use /restaurantsadmin.

When prompted, enter:

  • a unique restaurant ID

  • the display name

  • the framework job name

Example values:

  • ID: burgershot_main

  • Name: Burger Shot - Main Branch

  • Job: burgershot

4

Draw the restaurant zone

Walk the perimeter and place points around the building.

  • Left click adds a point

  • Right click finishes the polygon

  • Use at least 3 points

Make the zone slightly larger than the usable space.

5

Place the employee computer and core interactions

Add these next:

  • boss menu / employee computer

  • map blip

  • cooking stations

  • storage points

  • menu points

Place the computer somewhere staff can reach easily.

6

Test the workflow

Log in as an employee and check:

  • station interactions

  • storage access

  • menu ordering

  • payment flow

  • restaurant permissions

If something fails, start with Troubleshooting.

Good first layout

For a basic burger restaurant, start with:

  • 2 grill stations

  • 1 fryer

  • 1 beverage station

  • 1 cutting board

  • 1 finishing station

  • 1 cold storage

  • 1 warmer

  • 1 delivery storage

  • 1-2 trays

  • 1-2 cash registers

Placement tips

  • Put grills, fryers, and ovens directly on the prop they represent.

  • Keep the employee computer behind the counter or in an office.

  • Put tray storage where customers can reach it.

  • Keep delivery storage away from customer areas.

Station issues usually come from bad zone placement, missing items, or the wrong job restrictions.
