Floor plan & tables
Lay out halls and tables, then drive service from a visual floor map.
3 min read5 guides in this topic
The floor plan mirrors your real dining room. Organise tables into halls (for example Indoor, Terrace, Bar) and arrange them visually so staff can tap the right table fast.
What you can do
- Create halls and add tables with seat counts and shapes.
- Drag tables to position them on a canvas that matches your room, then save the layout.
- Choose whether each branch’s POS opens on cards or the floor plan — Default POS view under POS › Settings › Branch defaults.
- See table status — available, occupied — at a glance during service, on the POS floor view.
Build your floor
- 1Open POS › Floor plan.
- 2Add a hall, then add tables to it.
- 3Drag each table into place to match your real layout, then press Save in the bar at the bottom — the move is listed there as Save layout.
- 4On the POS, toggle to the Floor view to use it during service.
Every option on halls and tables
- Halls — named areas (Indoor, Terrace, Bar…); tables always belong to one.
- Table label & seats — the name staff see (T1, B4…) and its capacity.
- Shape — round or square footprints so the map reads like the room.
- Fixtures — walls, doors, the bar, sofas, lamps, plants, rugs and more (the add tray’s Fixtures tab) draw the room on the POS floor and in 3D. They never take an order.
- What shows where — a fixture’s toolbar has Shows on: Floor plan · 3D: keep string lights, a rug or the lamps over tables off the POS floor plan and only in 3D (or the reverse). Floor plan & 3D, next to Tidy up, sets a whole hall: every kind with a switch per view, or Everything · The room · Tables only. Hidden pieces stay in the builder, faded, and still keep tables off.
- Walls that meet — select a wall and type its length (6.55 or 655) and its angle (77.7°); the end at a corner stays and the walls joined to it follow, so the room stays closed. Drag a wall’s end handles to reach another wall’s corner. Walls that meet join cleanly, and a closed ring of walls is the room: the floor follows it on the POS floor plan and in 3D. Measurements shows every wall’s length and corner angle; an older floor’s near-miss corners close with ⋯ › Join corners.
- Draw room — tap each corner and close on the first; then type each side as you measured it, plus one corner-to-corner length for a room that isn’t square. Doors and windows dropped near a wall sit in it (cut in 3D), slide along it and show their distance from the corner. Trace a plan… (⋯) puts a photo or PDF of your plan under the drawing: set its scale from one known length, then draw over it.
- Quick-add — set a prefix (e.g. “T”) and add a batch of numbered tables in one go; existing names are skipped, not duplicated.
- Seating happens elsewhere — the dashboard floor plan is for the layout only. Parties are seated on the POS floor view (tap a free table, or seat a booking), or from CRM › Reservations with Seat › Seat & open check.
- Per-table service calls — turn the guest “call service” button off for specific tables from the POS. Halls also shape who gets a call: staff can cover a hall for the day, so its calls ring their phone first.
