Do customers have to create an account to order in my restaurant app?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
Not always. Apple's rules say an app without significant account-based features should let people use it without logging in.
- If an app lets people create an account, Apple requires them to be able to delete it inside the app.
- Apps may not ask for personal data unless it is relevant to the core function or required by law.
- A guest checkout keeps ordering quick for a first-time customer.
- Check Apple's current App Store review guidelines before you publish.
- An ordering link in the browser needs no app and no account.
