Adding many tables at once
Create a whole numbered run — T1 to T20 — in one go, without typing twenty names.
1 min read
Setting up a room shouldn’t mean adding tables one at a time. Quick-add builds a numbered batch from a prefix and a count, drops them into free spots, and skips any name that already exists instead of making a duplicate.
The scenario
A new terrace with 14 two-seaters. You want them called P1to P14 (P for patio), all seating 2, ready in a minute.
Add them
- 1Open POS › Floor plan and press Add hall — call it Terrace. Tables always live in a hall.
- 2With Terrace selected, press Add table and switch to Multiple. Set Prefix to P, Start # to 1, How many to 14, and seats to 2. The preview reads Creates P1 – P14.
- 3Press Add 14 tables. You’ll see 14 tables added.
- 4They arrive in a tidy grid. Drag them into rows that match the terrace — with 14 identical tables this is a two-minute job, not a twenty-minute one — and press Save in the bar at the bottom to keep the arrangement.
If some names already exist
Say you already had P1 and P2 from a trial. Quick-add creates P3 to P14 and tells you 12 added · 2 skipped (name exists). Nothing is duplicated and nothing you had is touched.
TipUse a different prefix per hall — T inside, P on the patio, B at the bar. Staff reading a kitchen ticket then know where the food goes from the first letter.
