Getting started on RedRightBuyer

1Logging in the first time

Your welcome email contains three things: the email address on your account, your Member ID (format M-00000), and a 4 digit code. You use them once to set your password. After that you log in with your email and password only.

Click the RRB Login icon at the top right of any page. A Member Access window opens with two tabs: Log In and Set Up My Account. First time members use Set Up My Account.

Set up your account (first visit only)

1. Email Address: the address your welcome email was sent to.
2. Member ID: the five digits after M-. The M- prefix is already filled in.
3. 4 digit code: from your welcome email. If it has expired or you cannot find it, click Need a new code? Request one and a fresh code is emailed to you.
4. New Password: at least 8 characters. Use a password you have not used on other sites. Common or previously leaked passwords are rejected.
5. Confirm your password, then click Set Up My Account.

Log in (every visit after that)

Enter your email and password and click Log In. Forgot your password? Click Forgot Password? and follow the emailed link. Once signed in, the top bar shows Signed in as your username, with a Sign Out button.

2Your account page

After logging in, click your name in the top bar (Signed in as ...) to open your account page. This is your personal hub. Your business listing is one level down.

• Username is what shows on any comments or lists you post as a shopper. It is not your business name.
• Edit My Business opens your Member Dashboard. If you own more than one business, use the Edit link beside the specific location under Your Businesses.
• Add Business starts a new listing under the same login. You can have more than one business.
• Top 10 is for Movies and TV. Create top ten lists and share them with others. Your same login lets you leave comments and rate content on the site and in the app.

3Your member dashboard

The dashboard is a read only snapshot of what shoppers see on your public profile, plus your certified member logo tools. Nothing here is edited directly. Use the Edit Business Info button at the bottom.

If you own more than one location, you first see a Choose a Location screen listing each one with its photo count. Click Edit this location to open that location. Once inside, Switch Business and Switch Location buttons sit in the header so you can move between them without logging out.

Your certified member logo

Your RRB logo is pre-linked to your profile.

• Copy my logo pastes a clickable logo into Gmail and Outlook signatures and most website editors. Use this whenever the destination supports links.
• Copy embed code gives you HTML for web pages or embed blocks.
• Download a file gives you Small (300px) for email signatures and sidebars, Large (600px) for headers, footers, print and high resolution screens, and Square for Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn profile images. Downloaded files do not carry the link.

4Editing your business profile

Click Edit Business Info on the dashboard. The edit page is one long form with a section for each part of your listing. Some fields save right away. Others are held for a quick staff review before they go live.

At the top of the page you will find Back to Dashboard and Preview Your Profile, which opens your public page in a new tab so you can check your work.

Political lean display

Applies to your whole business across all of your locations. Every member starts as Neutral. Blue is liberal and red is conservative: Blue, Leans Blue, Neutral, Leans Red, Red. Unlike non member companies, which are rated by our editorial team, certified members choose their own lean.

Photos

• Cover: the wide banner across the top of your full profile.
• Card: the main image on your company card.
• Logo: your brand logo, shown in search results.

After assigning Cover or Card, use Adjust Crop to frame it. Photos go live as soon as you save. Photo review is coming after launch.

Testimonials

Add up to 10 customer testimonials, up to 1000 characters each. Add the text first, then use the plus circle on its card to attach a customer photo. Up to three testimonials can carry a photo.

Website and social media

Your website URL is shown prominently. The Menu URL is for an external menu or catalog. If you build menus inside RedRightBuyer (see section 5) you can leave it blank. Add as many social links as you like. Saves immediately.

Hours of operation

For each day, mark Closed or pick opening and closing times in 30 minute steps from 5:00 AM to 11:30 PM. Saves immediately.

5Food and drink menus

Restaurants, bars, cafes and food trucks can publish full menus directly on their RedRightBuyer profile instead of linking out. Menus are available to members in the Food and Drink category and are managed per location.

The Menus page

Each row shows the menu name, its section and item counts, when it was last updated, and four controls:

• Drag handle: drag rows up or down to set the order menus appear on your profile.
• Visible toggle: switch a menu off to hide it from your public profile without deleting it. Useful for seasonal or event menus.
• Edit: opens the menu editor.
• Delete: removes the menu and everything in it.

To create a menu, click Add Menu, name it (Breakfast, Lunch, Drinks, Specials, Catering), and it appears in the list. Every new menu starts with one section already in place, so you can add items right away.

Inside a menu

The editor shows the menu name, its item count and last updated date, and the items in order.

• Back to Menus returns to the Menus page.
• Rename Menu changes the name shown as a tab on your public profile.
• Add Item opens the item form.
• Item cards each show a photo slot, an optional badge, the name, description and price, with a drag handle to reorder, plus Edit and Delete.
• Add a Sub-Section splits the menu into groups such as Appetizers, Entrees and Sides. Each sub-section has its own Rename Section, an Add Note line (for example, All burgers served with fries), and its own Add Item.

Adding or editing an item

• Photo (optional): square image, 600px or larger, JPG, PNG or WebP, 5MB max.
• Item Name: required.
• Price: free text, so you are not locked to a number. Examples: $16, Market, $6 to $24, Available by request.
• Description: up to 1000 characters, shown alongside the name and price.
• Featured Item: adds a gold accent and unlocks an optional badge such as Chef's Selection, House Specialty, Local Favorite or New.
• Dietary flags: tick any that apply: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Contains Nuts, Spicy.

Existing items also have a Delete Item button at the bottom of the form. Menu changes go live as soon as you save. They are not held for staff review.

What shoppers see

Your profile shows a Menus section with one tab per visible menu, a Last updated line, and a two column list of items with name, description and price. Featured items carry their badge and accent. Sub sections appear as headed groups within the tab.
