Set up your Solo
Which steps are mine?
1 · Is this Solo new, or replacing one you had?
2 · Is the SmartBarIQ app on your phone?
New Solo, no app yet
Turn the Solo on. At Where is this unit? tap Home – Solo.
Tap Create new account, enter your full name and email, tap Send code.
Type the 6-digit code from the SmartBarIQ email. The Solo opens your bar.
Later, add the app: install it, tap I have a Solo → Scan the code. On the Solo tap
your picture → Connect App To Solo and scan. You are in — no email code.
New Solo, app installed — not signed in yet
Turn the Solo on and tap Home – Solo. Leave the QR code on screen.
In the app: I have a Solo → Create a new account → your name, email and the
6-digit code.
Scan the QR code on the Solo. Your bar is on both.
Already have an account? Tap I have an account in the app first, then
Settings → Solo card → Connect and scan.
New Solo, app installed and signed in
Turn the Solo on and tap Home – Solo. Leave the QR code on screen.
In the app: Settings → Solo card → Connect.
Scan the QR code. Your bar moves onto the Solo. If both already hold bottles, the app asks
which bar to keep.
Replacement Solo, app installed
Turn the new Solo on and tap Home – Solo. Leave the QR code on screen.
In the app: Settings → Solo showing a QR? Scan it.
Scan, then tap Replace. Your bar, bottles and history move to the new Solo; the old
one stops.
Signed out of the app? Sign in with your email first (I have an account).
Replacement Solo, no app
Turn the new Solo on and tap Home – Solo.
Tap Have an account, enter the same email as before, tap Send code.
Type the 6-digit code. Your bar comes back on the new Solo. Unplug the old one.
1. Signing in
The app signs you in with a 6-digit code sent to your email; there is no password. If the code does not
arrive within a minute, check your spam folder, then ask for a new code from the sign-in screen. Codes expire
after a few minutes and after five wrong attempts.
2. Your bar
Adding bottles — scan the barcode, photograph the label, or search by name. A bottle
the app cannot identify can be added by name; our team completes its details later.
Levels — without a Solo unit you set each bottle's level by hand (full, ¾, ½, ¼, low).
With a Solo unit paired, levels follow every weighed pour.
Mixers and fresh ingredients — these have no levels; mark what you have and what you
need and they feed the shopping list.
3. Connecting the app and a Solo
On the Solo tap your picture (top right) → Connect App To Solo; a new Solo shows the code
on its first screen. In the app tap I have a Solo → Scan the code (signed
in: Settings → Connect, or Solo showing a QR? Scan it). Scanning the code
on the Solo's screen signs you in to the Solo's account — no email code. One Solo per bar: scanning a new
Solo from an account that has one offers to Replace it. The step-by-step for your case is
in Set up your Solo above.
4. Guests and events
Guests browse your menu on their phones through the link or QR code you share. Ordering from a guest's
phone needs a paired Solo unit; without one the app itself does not take orders.
5. Subscriptions
The app is free. Solo Plus and Solo Pro unlock the AI features (Ask your bar, the event planner, photo
identification). Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and managed in Settings → Apple ID →
Subscriptions on your iPhone, where you can also cancel. Use Restore purchases in the app after
reinstalling or changing phones.
6. Deleting your account
In the app: Spaces → Settings → Delete account. Your personal details are removed at once and your bar is
closed; this cannot be undone. You can also email
info@smartbariq.com from the address on the account.
