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
- Go to trikome.co/signup
- Enter your email and create a password
- Verify your email address
- Complete the onboarding flow
Step 2: Create Your Store
After signing in, you'll be prompted to create your first store:
- Click "Create Store" from the dashboard
- Enter your store name (e.g., "Downtown Dispensary")
- Add your store's address (optional, for your reference)
- 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:
- Navigate to Products in your store dashboard
- Click "Add Product"
- Fill in the product details:
- Name
- Strain information (optional)
- Product type (flower, edible, concentrate, etc.)
- Prices (you can add multiple sizes/prices)
- Save your product
Step 4: Organize with Collections
Collections let you group products for display (like "Staff Picks" or "New Arrivals"):
- Go to Collections in your dashboard
- Click "Create Collection"
- Name your collection and add a description
- Select products to include
- Save
Step 5: Build Your Menu
Now let's create a menu that will display on your TV:
- Navigate to Menus
- Click "Create Menu"
- Add pages to your menu:
- Collection pages show your product collections
- Media pages display images or videos
- Set the duration for each page (how long it displays)
- Arrange pages in your preferred order
- Save your menu
Step 6: Link Your TV
Finally, connect a TV to display your menu:
- 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)
- Open the app — you'll see a 4-digit code
- On your computer, go to trikome.co/link
- Enter the code and select which menu to display
- 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.
