How much does Yelli cost?
We believe in simple, transparent pricing. Yelli is $130/month, or $1200/year. There are no extra fees, and of course no cost to your team members.
We also offer a setup service for faster implementation, and a consulting service for built-from-scratch custom training programs.
My restaurant has multiple locations, can I use Yelli?
Yes! We recommend that each location use its own Yelli account to see the full benefit of our features. You can easily add locations once you're signed in right from your dashboard.
Please contact us directly if you’re interested in enterprise solutions.
Can I set up my restaurant’s Yelli account on my own?
Yes! We designed Yelli to make life easier for you and your team. Set up is straightforward and intuitive.
You will do the following:
1. Navigate to Roster to create the job roles within your venue (hosts, servers, bartenders, etc). These will sync in places like steps of service, uniform guidelines, and training plans.
2. Navigate to Your Restaurant to build food and drink menu flashcards, which you can organize by category to make them easier for staff members to learn (appetizers, salads, mains).
3. Continue under Your Restaurant to add training materials like floorplans, uniform guidelines, steps of service, and more for employees to review and follow.
4. Navigate to Test to build any multiple choice tests or issue menu-based tests.
5. Navigate to Train to build training plans for new hires to follow.
Once you have set up your portal, you can invite your team to join!

How do I update my restaurant account information?
To update your restaurants account information, log in to your admin account. From here, go to the “Settings” tab located under the drop-down menu. Select the Manage Account tab. From here you will be able to update restaurant information and payment options.
What is the difference between admin, manager and employee users?
- Admin: This is the primary account for the restaurant, with the highest authorization. We recommend that this account is accessible by either the owner, or the General Manager. This account has access to all features and is the only account that can delete manager accounts and change account settings (payments, restaurant information, etc).
- Manager: Can add/change all information, issue tests, schedule training, and add or delete all employee accounts.
- Employee: Can view information, take tests, and complete training.
How do I freeze my subscription?
If you need to temporarily freeze your Yelli subscription, please contact us directly. We will be happy to work out a solution for you!
How do I cancel my subscription?
To cancel your Yelli subscription, first make sure you are logged in to the restaurant admin account on the web app. Choose settings, then "manage account" then select "cancel subscription." Once confirmed, you will not be charged again and your subscription will end at the end of your billing cycle.
Please keep in mind that once cancelled, all data will be lost. If you need to pause your account and save your data, please contact us!
