Passwordless Login for Zuppler Chef
Logging into Chef is now faster and more secure. This update introduces Passwordless Login, allowing users to log in instantly using just their phone number and eliminating the friction of remembering passwords.
Why it matters
Frictionless Access: Speeds up daily operations for kitchen staff by removing the hassle of forgotten passwords and reset links.
Enhanced Security: Two-factor phone verification keeps account access secure without complicating the user experience.
How it works
One-Tap Phone Login: Access your Chef account quickly using your verified phone number instead of a password.
Dual-Verification for New Users: New accounts verify both email and phone number at sign-up, allowing either to be used for future logins.
Seamless Existing User Upgrades: Current users will be prompted to verify their phone number on their next email login, instantly unlocking passwordless access for the future.
Automated Self-Serve Onboarding
This release introduces powerful AI-driven automation to our onboarding process, making it highly self-sufficient for restaurant owners to go live with their digital stores and significantly reducing setup time.
Why it matters
Faster Time-to-Live: Automation slashes the manual data entry required to launch a store, getting restaurants open for business in record time.
Reduced Friction: Empowers clients with a seamless, self-guided setup wizard that eliminates the traditional bottleneck of waiting for manual configurations.
Eliminates Setup Stress: Pre-configured default settings ensure kitchens are ready to accept pickup and delivery orders the second they launch.
How it works
Google Profile Sync: Simply enter the restaurant's name, and the system automatically pulls its address, hours of operation, timezone, cuisine type, and owner contact details directly from Google.
Smart Default Setup: Accounts are instantly configured with industry standards right out of the box, including a 15-minute prep time, ASAP/Scheduled ordering, and integrated DoorDash fulfillment delivery.
AI Menu Scraping: Clients can instantly generate their menu by simply pasting a link from delivery apps (DoorDash, UberEats, Grubhub) or uploading a file (PDF, JPEG, PNG, WebP).
Note for Success: While the menu importer captures core items, we recommend clients do a quick final review to manually add any specific modifiers (like topping choices) that may not have been fully detailed on flat PDFs or link scrapes.
Fast Checkout + Digital Wallets
Offer your customers a friction-free ordering flow that cuts out mandatory log-ins, eliminates extra screens, and offers instant, one-click payments tailored to modern dining habits.
Why it matters
Capture Modern Spenders: Digital wallets drive over 53% of global online purchases (and 82% for Gen Z). Offering a Virtual Wallet puts your store directly in line with how today's customers want to pay.
Stop Cart Abandonment: Forcing customers to type in long credit card numbers or passwords right before paying causes them to leave. One-click mobile wallets keep hungry customers moving forward.
Faster Checkout Times: Combining a single payment page with one-click device validation means customers go from a craving to a placed order in seconds.
Flexible Setup: Virtual wallets layer into your system seamlessly, working right alongside your existing credit card processor.

Frictionless Guest Checkout: Customers can order instantly without being forced to sign in or create an account.
Enhanced "My Cart" View: A clean, slide-out cart (desktop) or full-page view (mobile) that neatly houses order details and upsells.
Single-Screen Checkout: Combines the order summary and payment steps onto one screen to eliminate extra clicks.
Instant Wallet Payments: Lets users check out safely in seconds using Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo.
