Welcome to Trikome! This guide will walk you through everything you need to get your first digital menu display up and running.

Step 1: Create Your Account

  1. Go to trikome.co/signup
  2. Enter your email and create a password
  3. Verify your email address
  4. Complete the onboarding flow
You can start with our free plan — no credit card required. Upgrade anytime when you need more features.

Step 2: Create Your Store

After signing in, you'll be prompted to create your first store:

  1. Click "Create Store" from the dashboard
  2. Enter your store name (e.g., "Downtown Dispensary")
  3. Add your store's address (optional, for your reference)
  4. Click Save

Your store is the container for all your products, collections, menus, and devices.

Step 3: Add Your Products

Products are the foundation of your menu. To add products:

  1. Navigate to Products in your store dashboard
  2. Click "Add Product"
  3. Fill in the product details:
    • Name
    • Strain information (optional)
    • Product type (flower, edible, concentrate, etc.)
    • Prices (you can add multiple sizes/prices)
  4. Save your product
Tip: You can search our strain database to auto-fill strain details like THC/CBD percentages and effects.

Step 4: Organize with Collections

Collections let you group products for display (like "Staff Picks" or "New Arrivals"):

  1. Go to Collections in your dashboard
  2. Click "Create Collection"
  3. Name your collection and add a description
  4. Select products to include
  5. Save

Step 5: Build Your Menu

Now let's create a menu that will display on your TV:

  1. Navigate to Menus
  2. Click "Create Menu"
  3. Add pages to your menu:
    • Collection pages show your product collections
    • Media pages display images or videos
  4. Set the duration for each page (how long it displays)
  5. Arrange pages in your preferred order
  6. Save your menu

Step 6: Link Your TV

Finally, connect a TV to display your menu:

  1. Install the Trikome app on your TV device:
    • Search "Trikome" in the Google Play Store (Android TV/Google TV)
    • Or search in the Amazon Appstore (Fire TV)
  2. Open the app — you'll see a 4-digit code
  3. On your computer, go to trikome.co/link
  4. Enter the code and select which menu to display
  5. Click Link Device

Done! Your menu should appear on the TV within seconds. The display caches locally, so it will keep running even if the internet drops temporarily.
