Common questionsCompare plans
Before you start.
Do I need training to use this?
No. Staff mainly need to record a movement or check a status badge - both take a couple of taps. The interface is built for people who aren't technical.
I already track inventory in a spreadsheet - can I bring that data in?
Yes. Settings → Data has a CSV import that maps your existing items straight into Elqar, so you're not starting from zero.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, the whole app is responsive and works in any mobile browser - no app install required.
What happens if I outgrow the Free plan?
Upgrade to Pro any time - your data carries over, nothing is lost or needs re-entering. See full pricing.
Can different staff see different things?
Yes. Owner, Admin, Manager, and Staff roles each see only what's relevant to them - a line cook doesn't see billing, for example.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no lock-in contract. Cancel from Settings → Billing whenever you like.
What if someone forgets their password?
Self-serve reset from the login page - no need to wait on an admin to unlock the account.
