Admin Unlock

Your restaurant site works before admin unlock. Unlock the admin dashboard when your team is ready to manage the site through a browser instead of an AI agent.

What admin unlock actually means

Dineway is command-first. You can build, review, and improve your entire restaurant website before anyone on your team ever sees a dashboard. The AI agent does the heavy lifting through the CLI and skills.

Admin unlock is the later step where you give your team — managers, front-of-house staff, a marketing person — browser-based access to update content, upload photos, edit menus, and publish posts without needing an AI agent.

It is not required to get started. It is not required to have a working site. It is a convenience layer for when the site becomes part of your team’s daily workflow.

Before you unlock

Ask your agent to do a readiness check:

Audit this restaurant site before admin unlock. Check content accuracy, navigation, menu structure, local SEO, media alt text, mobile layout, and any unresolved questions. Give me a short readiness report — not just "looks good."

The agent should come back with specifics: what is solid, what needs your input, and what should be fixed before your team starts using the dashboard.

The practical flow

  1. Build the restaurant website with the CLI and skills.
  2. Review the public site for accuracy and fit.
  3. Improve content, navigation, SEO, and images until you are confident showing it to customers.
  4. Decide whether your team needs admin access for day-to-day updates.
  5. Unlock the admin interface through the product flow when you are ready.

What this page does not do

This is a pre-release product. Right now:

  • There is no payment page to click through.
  • There is no checkout flow.
  • There is no enforced unlock state.
  • There are no detailed paid feature promises.

The admin unlock concept is real, but the commercial flow is not live yet.

Do not skip the review

Before you unlock, make sure:

  • Contact details, hours, and reservation links are correct.
  • Menus and specials reflect what you actually serve.
  • Local SEO copy mentions your real restaurant and city.
  • Images are real photos, not placeholders or AI-generated fakes.
  • Draft content is not accidentally treated as published.
