Hello there! This article walks you through our mobile app’s multi-step venue registration flow. You’ll learn how each screen works and what data is needed at every step.

1. Venue Name Page

• What You’ll See: A single input field requesting the name of your venue.
• Why It’s Important: The name here will be the “public-facing” name customers see in the app.
• How to Complete:
  1. Tap into the input field.
  2. Type your venue name (for example, McGillycuddy’s Pub).
  3. Press NEXT to proceed.

Tips:

• Avoid special characters if you can.
• Keep it short and memorable.

2. Venue Location Page

• What You’ll See:
  • Address form fields: Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, and Postcode.
  • A map with a draggable marker.
• Permissions: The app will ask for location permissions to auto-detect your current position.
• How to Complete:
  1. Fill in your address details or let the app pre-fill them if you grant location permissions.
  2. Drag the map marker to the precise location of your venue (the marker is draggable within a 150m radius of your detected location).
  3. Press NEXT to proceed.

Tips:

• If the address auto-populates incorrectly, manually edit the fields.
• Ensure the pin is placed exactly where your venue is located.

3. Venue Details Page

• What You’ll See:
  • A dropdown or modal to select your Venue Type (e.g., Pub, Bar, Club, Restaurant, etc.).
  • Opening Times section with daily open/close times.
• Venue Type:
  • Tap the dropdown to pick your type.
  • If you need more specific types, expand the list by choosing Other and you’ll see additional options.
• Opening Times:
  • Each day has an Open and Close time, or you can mark it as Closed.
  • Tapping on “Set Open Time” or “Set Close Time” brings up a time picker.
• How to Complete:
  • Choose your venue type from the modal.
  • Expand the day to set open and close times.
  • Days can be marked as closed if you don’t open on those days.
• NEXT:
  • When all days have valid open/close times (or are marked closed) and you’ve chosen a venue type, press NEXT.

Tips:

• Double-check your open/close times; these are crucial for accurate public display.
• “Close” time should be set after the “Open” time for each day.

4. Venue Account Page

• What You’ll See:
  • Inputs for your email and password.
  • A checkbox to agree to the Privacy Policy.
• How to Complete:
  1. Enter an Email (we’ll validate to ensure it’s a proper email format).
  2. Create a Password (must be at least 6 characters).
  3. Check the box to agree to our Privacy Policy.
  4. Tap SUBMIT to finalize your registration.
• What Happens Next:
  • On successful registration, you’ll see “Sign up success” and be redirected to the login screen.

Tips:

• Use a secure password with a mix of letters, digits, and symbols.
• Make sure you read and understand our Privacy Policy before agreeing.

5. Verify Your Email

• What You’ll See: A confirmation prompt reminding you to verify your email.
• How to Complete:
  1. Go to the inbox of the email address you registered with.
  2. Find the verification email from Rate My Pint Venue and click the link inside.
  3. Once verified, return to the app and sign in (you’ll be fully set up to manage your venue).

Tips:

• Check your spam or junk folder if you don’t see the email after a few minutes.
• Contact support if the verification link has expired or if you have any issues.

• Location Not Detected:
  • Check your device’s GPS settings and ensure you’ve allowed the app to use your location.
  • Restart the app if permission was granted after the first denial.
• Venue Type Not Found:
  • If your venue type isn’t in the default list, tap Other to see more options.
  • Choose the one closest to your needs.
• Error on Final Submission:
  • Verify all required fields (email, password, venue type, etc.) are valid and not empty.
  • Ensure you’ve checked the Privacy Policy box before submitting.
