How to Install the Bella&Bona Lunch Assistant

Installing the Bella&Bona Daily Lunch Assistant takes approximately 3–5 minutes.

Step 1 – Install the  Bella&Bona Lunch Assistant inside the Slack App

1. Open the installation email from Bella&Bona.
2. Click the secure installation link.
3. Slack will open and ask you to:
   • Select the correct workspace (important if you are part of multiple workspaces)
   • Review the requested permissions
   • Click Allow

After authorization:

• Slack opens automatically
• The Bella&Bona app appears under Apps in the sidebar
• If prompted, open the app chat and click Start

Step 2 – Select Your Company Language (Required)

Immediately after installation, you will receive a direct message from the  Bella&Bona Lunch Assistant.

In this message, you must:

• Select the language in which your company should receive Bella&Bona Slack messages.

This setting defines:

• Menu reminders

Step 3 – Create a Bella&Bona Channel

We recommend creating a dedicated Slack channel for lunch communication.

Example channel names:

• #bella-bona
• #lunch
• #team-lunch

To create a channel:

1. Click + next to Channels in Slack.
2. Click Create channel.
3. Choose a name.

5. Click Create.

Step 4 – Add the Bella&Bona Lunch Assistant to the Channel

Inside the new channel message box, type:

(Use the exact app name as shown in Slack.)

This connects the  Bella&Bona Lunch Assistant  to the channel so it can post reminders.

Step 5 – Finalize the Setup Inside the Channel

After the Bella&Bona Lunch Assistant has been added to the channel, type the following command inside that same channel message box:

/bellabona-setup

Then press Enter.

Once the setup is completed successfully, you should see confirmation messages similar to the example below inside the Slack channel:

This confirms that:
