How to Sign Up for SmartChef

Create your SmartChef account in seconds with Google, or sign up with email. Either way, you'll be up and running in no time.

Before You Start

Before creating your SmartChef account, make sure you have the following information ready:

  • Your email address

    This will be your login and where we'll send important notifications.

  • Your business name

    The name of your restaurant, cafe, or food business.

  • Your name

    We'll use this to personalise your experience.

Use a business email address that you check regularly. This ensures you won't miss important notifications about your account.
