Begin installing the TimeForge-Restaurant Manager Bridge software.

Accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.

Choose a directory to install the TimeForge-Restaurant Manager Bridge. The default is usually correct.

Choose the Start Menu Folder to install the software.

1. If you already have a TimeForge account, enter your Web Service Username and Password to connect with TimeForge.

A web service username and password is not the same as your TimeForge username (usually your email address), but is a secured username and password that allows the TimeForge-Restaurant Manager Bridge to communicate with TimeForge.

You can create a Web Service account by logging into your account, and go to the Settings for your location / store. You can then set your web service username and password.

2. If you do not yet have a TimeForge account, get started by creating a TimeForge account. We will create a Web Service Username and Password for you automatically.

If you need to create a TimeForge account, please fill out all of the fields, including your company name, first and last name, email address, password, and a password recovery answer.

We will automatically create your Web Service Username and Password for you.

Set up the Restaurant Manager database connection settings. Most likely, the default settings will work with your RM installation.

At this point, go ahead and run the TimeForge Bridge software.
