Are you planning to set up a restaurant next to your simulator? Hold on—we have the perfect solution for you! It's called Tables, a feature in our system that allows you to create floor plans with table arrangements. You can even set up a bar, and with our automatic printing feature on the POS, you’ll have everything managed from one place.
Let’s start from the beginning and walk through how to set up tables.
First, go to Settings > Tables to get started
As you can see, there are two tabs: one for Tables Setup and another for the Floor Plan, where you can position the tables you’ve created.
Let’s start by setting up the tables themselves.
Click on 'Add Tables', and a window will pop up where you can begin configuring the tables. You have the option to create a single table or multiple tables at once.
- If you're creating one table, simply add a name.
- If you're creating multiple tables, you can input a range (e.g., Table 1 to Table 10), which is one of the easiest methods for bulk setup.
Next, you'll decide on the area where the tables belong, whether it’s a bar or another section of your venue. Assigning the tables to an area will allow you to place them when setting up the floor plan. All tables within that area will be available for you to arrange.
You’ll also need to specify how many seats each table can accommodate.
Flags offer additional ways to categorize the tables, but for now, we’ll keep it simple and skip this step
Once your tables are created, you'll see them listed under the Tables tab. Initially, you’ll only see the option to Add Tables, but if you’re working with multiple areas, you’ll now have a dropdown menu to switch between different areas.
If you want to modify any table, you can click on it to see its name, area, and seats. You can also delete any extra tables if necessary.
Now that we have a few tables set up, let’s move on to configuring the Floor Plan.
Click on the Floor Plan tab, and you’ll see a blank canvas, ready for us to set up the layout.
To begin setting up your floor plan, click 'Add Floorplan', and give your floor plan a name.
At this point, the floor plan will be blank, but now you can start editing it and adding tables. To do this, click on the pencil icon, which will allow you to place the tables you've set up earlier onto the floor plan
You will see a couple of helpful little text to understand what is happening
Floorplan Editor
This utility will let you design your floorplan. Select tables from the right hand panel to add them to the plan.Tap an already added table on the plan to modify its settings like height, width or shape.Table ListHere are your tables. If they're selected, they're on the current floorplan. Tap one to add it to the plan.
If you want to add or remove tables go to table settings.
You can easily drag and drop a table from the right panel onto the floor plan, or simply click on a table, and it will appear on the floor plan. Once it's placed, you can move it around freely with your mouse.
The edges of your floor plan are marked by a red line. Don’t worry—you won’t be able to place a table outside this boundary. If you try to place a table halfway out, it will automatically snap back to the edge.
To adjust your view, use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out, or use the zoom slider at the top of the screen. The house icon in the top left corner will always reset the view to the default position.
When you click on a table, it will initially drop in the top left corner of the floor plan. From there, you can resize or change the shape of the table by selecting it again and adjusting as needed.
Once you've set up your floor plan, you can create multiple floor plans to represent different areas or even your entire venue.
Keep in mind that the floor plan is just a visual representation, so you can use the same tables on different floor plans. However, once a table is in use and an order has been placed on it, it won’t be available for other orders until that table is cleared.
Table Statuses
Tables have 4 status:
Empty - Ready for a Purchase to be assigned to it
Seated - Have assigned a Purchase to the table, but haven't ordered any Products/Line items yet
Ordered - Products/line items have been added to the Purchase assigned to the table
Bussing - Purchase has been paid for, but the purchase is still assigned to the table. To put the table back to empty, navigate to the POS tab > click Tables > click on the Table you wish to empty > click Empty table.
