How it works

How to make an app for your business in three steps

Pick the model for your businessRestaurants and bars, hotels, B&Bs and lodges, wineries, shops and sellers: every model already has its areas in place, and only the ones you need are switched on.
We add your name, details, logo, colours and content (demo or real)With the example content your app goes live the same day, and you change it from your phone whenever you like. If you’d rather start with your real content, we load it in 2–5 days (a separate job, priced up front).
Your app goes live, reachable through a link or your own QR codeThe QR code with your logo is ready to print: a customer scans it, or opens the link, and ten seconds later has your app, with your icon. No App Store, no account, no password.

How to make an app for your business with Telaio: the app’s areas, switched on and off in the Manager — The Manager: choose which areas your app uses. The ones you switch off disappear, and their content stays saved.

Hotel app: the Home with the weather, the booking button and the welcome — **The Home** The weather, the button to book, the welcome and the photos: the first thing the guest sees.

A digital wine list, with photos, prices and labels — **Wines/Products** Your wines with photos, prices and the tags to choose by.

Digital flyer: a shop offer created in two minutes — **An offer in two minutes** The box of the week, the new chestnuts, Saturday’s price: the type, the title, two lines and when.
