Set up Papaya with Mozrest
The entire process takes less than 5 minutes. You'll need your Papaya API key and an active reservation system account.
Before you start
Generate an API key in your Papaya dashboard. The key is outlet-specific — make sure you generate it for the correct outlet.
In the Papaya dashboard, look for the API or integrations section. The key is a long token string. If you're not sure where to find it, contact Papaya support.
How to start
Your reservation system provider sends you a setup link. Your reservation system is already pre-selected — you only need to connect Papaya.
Step-by-step
1. Enter your Papaya API key
Paste your API key in the form provided. Your outlet is detected automatically from the key.
2. Activate
Click "Activate & Continue". Mozrest registers with your Papaya account, fetches your table layout (called "channels" in Papaya), and the POS connection is live.
3. Complete reservation system setup
Depending on your reservation system, you may have an additional step. The setup flow guides you through it.
4. Map your tables
Match your POS tables to the tables in your reservation system. This ensures reservations are sent to the correct table on your POS.
5. Done
You'll see a confirmation screen. Reservations now sync automatically between your reservation system and Papaya.
What happens next
- Reservations appear on your POS with guest name, party size, table, and time
- Walk-in orders on the POS are detected every 60 seconds
- Order updates (items, payments, closures) sync back in real time
No further action needed — everything runs automatically.
