What it is for: installing the EK1 apps on your phone with an icon on the home screen: your panel, the expenses app (Money) and, if you run a restaurant with the point-of-sale (POS), the waiter app and the till.
Where to find it: menu Settings → EK1 apps. If your account belongs to a partner with their own brand, the entry is called Mobile apps.
Who sees it: any panel user, on any plan, including the free one. It is not owner-only. What changes is which cards appear (see below).
What you see first
One card per app. Each app is installed from its own address, so each card has its own Open button and its own steps.
| Card | What it is for | Who gets it |
|---|---|---|
| Your panel | The whole panel on your phone, with the assistant one tap away and your alerts | Every account |
| EK1 Money | Log an expense in three taps and see what you are owed | Every account. Inside, without Sales on your plan only the reduced mode (personal expenses) works; see The mobile app |
| Waiter app | Take orders at the table and alert the kitchen | Only restaurant accounts with the POS switched on |
| Till (POS) | Take payments and close the till from a tablet or computer | Only restaurant accounts with the POS switched on |
Below each card, the screen shows only the steps for your device. If your account uses your own brand, the link and the QR code carry your domain.
If your panel belongs to a partner with their own brand: the second card is called Expenses app and the app is installed from your partner's domain, with their name, colour and icon. None of our names appear.
Step by step
Install an app from your phone
- Open EK1 apps on your phone.
- On the card you want, click Open. That app opens.
- Come back to this screen, or follow the steps shown under the card for your phone (next sections).
On iPhone
- Open the app in Safari.
- Tap Share (the square with the arrow, bottom centre).
- Scroll to Add to Home Screen and tap it.
- Confirm with Add. The app appears with the rest.
If you use Chrome on iPhone the steps are similar (the Share button is at the top, next to the address), but alerts do not switch on from Chrome. If you want them, install from Safari. Always open the app from the new icon.
On Android
- If you see the Install button with the app's name, tap it.
- If not, open the browser menu (the three dots, top right) and tap Install app or Add to Home screen.
- Confirm. The app appears with the rest.
From a computer
The screen shows a QR code for each app. Scan it with your phone's camera: it opens that app on the phone, and you follow the steps above there.
If it is already installed
Inside the installed app, the screen just says "✅ You already have it installed." and there is nothing more to do.
How the panel app works
It is the same panel, with the top bar (logo, balance, search, alerts and your avatar) and the bottom bar (Start, Chats, the KOR button, CRM and Menu). Menu opens all the areas with a search box. Full detail in Getting started.
Get alerts on your phone
At the bottom of the screen there is a link to The panel app. Alerts on your phone are switched on from there. More detail in Telegram alerts.
If something does not go as expected
| What happens | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| I do not see the waiter or till cards | They only appear on restaurant accounts with the POS switched on | If you run a restaurant and need them, ask our support team |
| Nothing happens when I install from the computer | Installing is done on the phone | Scan the QR with your phone's camera |
| On iPhone I do not get alerts | You installed from Chrome | Open the address in Safari and install it again from there |
| Money opens a mode with padlocks | Your account does not have Sales | See The mobile app |
| I cannot find "The app on your phone" | That menu entry no longer exists | Go to EK1 apps |
