Setup
Built with you, on site.
This is more than software setup.
We work directly with your team to understand the operation, collect and organize existing knowledge, clarify important gaps with leadership, and build the first working Trensli system for your restaurants.
Your launch includes an agreed scope covering:
- Restaurant discovery and existing-material review
- Operational knowledge capture, including agreed on-site work
- Organization of approved standards and location differences
- Initial operating content, role guides, and training buildout
- System configuration for your locations and roles
- Manager orientation and rollout support
A clear scope. A working first system. No empty platform to populate yourself.
What determines your launch price?
A restaurant group with consistent procedures and well-organized materials requires a different level of work than one whose operating knowledge is spread across managers, locations, and undocumented routines.
We price each launch based on what already exists, what needs to be captured or built, the complexity of the operation, and the on-site work involved.
We agree on the scope and price before work begins. Travel is included in your quote.
Payment: Full launch fee due before kickoff.
What you get at go-live
Your operation, ready for the people running it.
The goal of Guided Launch isn’t to upload every document your company has ever created. It’s to give your restaurants a useful first system, built around the standards, roles, and workflows that matter most.
Here’s what that looks like.
A working first system. Not another unfinished project handed back to your team.
The exact content, locations, and training covered are agreed during launch planning.
How Guided Launch works
- 1Pick what goes live first.Which restaurants, which roles.
- 2We gather what you have.Binders, recipes, SOPs, training, and what’s only in people’s heads.
- 3We build it. You review it.You settle anything missing or conflicting.
- 4Go live.We set up your team, train your managers, and make your first real change together.
- 5Check in at day 30.What changed, what stuck, and what’s next.
Timing: Plan on going live within 30 days after we receive your payment, materials, account access, and confirmed leadership review date. Plan on 4–6 hours of review time from your leadership. If required materials, access, decisions, or review dates are delayed, your launch date will move accordingly.
After launch, your team makes its own changes. Opening another restaurant, adding a new concept, or scheduling additional on-site visits is quoted separately.
Why Guided Launch exists
The people who know your restaurants have enough to do.
Your operations director knows how the restaurants should run. Your chef knows the recipes. Your managers know what actually happens during service.
But that knowledge doesn’t organize itself into a system everyone can use.
With traditional software, that work falls back on the same people already running the restaurants.
Someone has to find the right documents. Figure out what’s current. Capture what isn’t written down. Build the training. Set up every location. Get managers using it.
That’s the work Trensli takes on.
We bring the material together, identify what needs clarification, build the agreed first system, and help put it into use.
Your leadership stays involved where its judgment matters. It doesn’t have to carry the entire production project.
You run the restaurants. We build the system behind them.
FAQ
What types of restaurant groups is Trensli best suited for?
Trensli is best suited to groups running the same restaurant concept across multiple locations, with shared menus, recipes, and service procedures. Individual locations can still have their own approved differences, such as patio procedures, equipment, or opening hours.
Why does setup cost extra?
Guided Launch is hands-on. We come to your restaurant, organize what you already have, capture what isn’t written down, build your initial playbook, training, checklists, and answers, configure your locations and roles, and prepare your team to go live.
It starts at $5,000. Your setup price depends on the number of locations, how much material already exists, the roles and location differences we need to cover, and the amount of on-site capture required. Every customer receives the full Trensli platform.
How do we pay?
The Guided Launch fee is paid in full before work begins. Your monthly subscription starts at go-live and is billed month to month. We accept ACH or card.
How much time will our leadership team need to spend on setup?
Plan on 4–6 hours of leadership review time. We gather and organize your materials, capture what is not written down, and build the setup. Your leaders answer questions and approve how your restaurants should run.
Do we need to have everything documented before starting?
No. We start with what you already have, whether that’s a well-organized SOP library, old training files, recipe sheets, or knowledge that mostly lives with your team. We identify what needs attention and build the agreed first version from there.
Does Guided Launch include documenting our entire operation?
Not necessarily. We start with the highest-priority operating knowledge and agree on the initial scope before kickoff. Larger documentation projects or additional concepts may require a more extensive launch. Anything outside the initial build can be prioritized separately.
What happens if our launch is delayed?
Your launch timeline begins after payment and once we have your materials, account access, and confirmed leadership review date. If your team needs more time to provide something or make an operating decision, we’ll move the launch date. Your payment remains applied to your launch.
Do we pay per employee?
No. You pay per location. Staff and managers are unlimited.
Is there an annual commitment?
No. Your subscription is month-to-month after launch. Your proposal sets the scope and terms of your one-time Guided Launch.
Who keeps everything updated after launch?
Your team owns the recipes, SOPs, and policies. Edit them directly or tell Trensli what changed. It asks follow-up questions, finds the affected materials, and prepares updates for your approval. Once approved, the updates reach the right teams. Your managers use it without maintaining separate training materials.
What happens after the launch is finished?
Your team keeps the system current. When procedures change, employees raise questions, or a location needs an approved exception, Trensli helps coordinate the updates and follow-through. Your leadership remains responsible for approving how the restaurants operate.
Do employees need to download an app?
No. Staff access Trensli from their phone’s browser through a text link or QR code. Training, answers, and checklists are available in English and Spanish.
Can each restaurant have different procedures?
Yes. Share the recipes and procedures that apply across your group, while keeping approved differences for individual restaurants. Each person sees the guidance for their role and location.
Do we need integrations?
No. Your POS, scheduling, and payroll stay as they are, and Trensli doesn’t need to connect to them. If a change also affects your POS or printed menus, Trensli lists it and assigns someone to update it.
What if our recipes and SOPs aren’t written down?
That’s normal. We write them down with you during setup.
Can we get our data out?
Yes, any time, even if you leave. You get your recipes, SOPs, and policies with every past version, plus training records and the full history, as CSV and PDF files.
What happens when we add a restaurant?
It’s added at your per-location rate. Its setup is quoted separately, and we start from the SOPs and training you already have.
Is there a free trial?
No. A 30-minute walkthrough shows you how it would work for your restaurants.
