# Quickstart Guide

BrewChecks is here to simplify and centralize your brewery’s operations. Follow these initial steps to begin using the application:

1. **Create Your Account**\
   Start by creating a BrewChecks account. Once registered, choose the subscription plan that best suits your brewery’s needs.
2. **Complete Your Profile**\
   Head to **Admin & Company Settings** to complete your company profile, add team members, and assign appropriate permissions.
3. **Enter Master Data**\
   Input essential data into the **Master Data** section:
   * Add **Partners** (e.g., suppliers, producers, customers).
   * Define **Components** you’ll be using in your recipes (e.g., raw materials like hops or packaging materials like bottles).
4. **Set Up Initial Inventory**\
   Ensure your current inventory levels are reflected in BrewChecks. If you already have stock, you can enter starting quantities for key materials.
5. **Explore Key Features**\
   Familiarize yourself with the **Brew Management** and **Inventory Management** sections to understand how to manage batches, track brewing progress, and monitor stock levels.
6. **Activate Notifications (Optional)**\
   If your subscription plan includes notifications, set up reminders for critical tasks, such as restocking and batch monitoring, to help keep operations on track.
