• eZee offers a free configuration service during the trial, so you can operate with your real business data right away if you choose.

2. Configuration

• Main setup steps include entering outlet details, menu items, pricing, taxes, and user accounts.
• This can be done by your team or with help from eZee’s support staff.

• You can continue seamlessly with your live operations using the same setup from your trial.

5. Ongoing Support

• 24/7 support is available for troubleshooting, additional training, and any customization needs.
