Adding a single table
Add one table with a name, a seat count and a shape, and put it where it really stands.
2 min read
Every table on the map is one place a check can be opened. Adding one takes a name, how many it seats, and a shape — then you drag it to where it stands in the room.
The scenario
You’ve just bought a big round table for the corner. It seats 8 and staff already call it “the round one”. You want it on the map as T12.
Add it
- 1Open POS › Floor plan. Pick the hall it belongs to — Indoor, say — from the tabs at the top.
- 2Press Add table (keep it on Single). Type the Table name T12. Names are what staff tap, so keep them short and consistent with the rest of the room.
- 3Choose the shape Round. The seat control jumps to the shape’s defaults; set it to 8. Chairs appear around the table as you change the number.
- 4Press Add. The table appears in the first free spot.
- 5Drag it into the corner where it actually stands. Drag the little rotate handle if the room needs it turned. Then press Save in the bar at the bottom — it lists the move as Save layout — and you’ll see All changes saved.
What you’ll see
- The table on the map with 8 chairs drawn around it, in the corner, in the Indoor hall.
- On the POS floor view, staff see T12 in the same place — tapping it asks how many guests are seated and opens the check.
- A QR code for T12 under Menu › QR codes, ready to print, if your guests order from their phones.
TipTables can’t overlap on the map — including their chairs. If a table won’t drop where you want it, it’s because a chair would sit on a neighbour; nudge one of them, or rotate.
