# Find Your R365 Instance

Your R365 instance is your organization's unique URL used to access Restaurant365. This article explains what an R365 instance is, how to identify yours, and what to do if you don't know it.

**What is an R365 Instance?**

Each organization using Restaurant365 has a unique instance, which is a dedicated environment for that organization's data. Your instance is identified by a unique subdomain in the format: `https://your_instance_name.restaurant365.com`

For example, if your organization's domain name is **steakshack**, your R365 instance URL would be `https://steakshack.restaurant365.com`.

## Security

Any R365 User with valid login credentials can view their instance URL. No additional security permissions are required.

## Find Your Instance URL

### From Your Browser Address Bar

1. Log in to R365
2. Look at the address bar at the top of your browser. Your instance URL is the portion of the URL before the first `/`
  - For example, in `https://steakshack.restaurant365.com/dashboard`, the instance URL is `https://steakshack.restaurant365.com`
3. The **domain name** (e.g., **thedean**) is the unique value that appears before `.restaurant365.com`

## If You Don't Know Your Instance URL

If you do not know your R365 instance URL, you can:

- **Ask a team member or direct manager** — They can provide the correct domain name for your organization
- **Contact R365 Support** — Reach out to the [R365 Support](https://help.restaurant365.net/support/home) team for assistance

## Bookmark Your Instance URL

Once you have identified the correct R365 instance URL, save it as a bookmark on your computer, phone, or tablet. R365 recommends saving only the **base** of the URL (only the parts before the first `/`).

**Example:**

- **Correct:** `https://steakshack.restaurant365.com`
- **Incorrect:** `https://steakshack.restaurant365.com/dashboard/home`

This ensures you always navigate to the correct version of the software.
