Restaurants only
Stores do not have tables. A restaurant can turn them off in Settings > Sales and taxes > Features, as long as there are no open table tabs.
Create the tables
- Open Menu and the Tables tab.
- Tap “Add table”, give it a name and, if you want, an “Area” (Terrace, Dining room).
The floor plan
In Tables tap “Edit tables” and then “Edit plan”. Drag each table to its place and choose the shape: Square, Round or Rectangle. The ones you have not placed yet appear under “Not placed”. “Fit all” fits the plan to the screen.
Serve a table
The map shows the status of each table:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Free | No tab |
| With a tab | It has products ordered |
| Ready | The kitchen is done |
| Check requested | The customer asked for the check |
| Booked | It has a reservation at that time |
- Tap a free table to open its tab.
- Add products and tap “Send to kitchen”.
- When they ask for the check, tap “Request check” or “Print check”.
- Tap “Charge”.
The “Mine” chip shows only the tables of the waiter who signed in with their PIN.
Move, merge and split
- “Move to another table”: moves the whole tab to another table.
- “Merge with another table”: joins two tabs into one.
- “Split check”: “By item” (each person pays for their own) or “By diner” (equal parts). Each part becomes “Check 1”, “Check 2”…
Service
In Settings > Sales and taxes > Service you set the service charge percentage, whether it is charged on tables and whether the waiter can request the check.
Reservations
Open the “Reservations” tab in Tables.
- Tap “New reservation”: name, phone, “Time”, duration in minutes, table and note.
- When they arrive, tap “Seat” or “Open table”.
- When they leave, “Finish”. If they did not show up, “No show”. To cancel it, “Cancel reservation”.
The statuses are Booked, Seated, Finished, Cancelled and No show.
Waiter tablet
On a second tablet or phone, set Settings > Location and devices > What this device is for to Waiter: when it signs in it opens Tables with “Mine” turned on. See Multiple tablets.
