Setting Up Restaurant Tables & Sections
Before you can start taking restaurant orders, you should create your dining sections and tables.
Sections help organize your restaurant into different areas (such as Main Hall, Terrace, VIP Room, or Garden), while Tables represent the actual tables customers will be seated at.
After creating both, you can arrange them visually using the Floor View designer.
Step 1 — Create Restaurant Sections
Sections are optional but recommended for restaurants with multiple dining areas.
Examples include:
Main Hall
Ground Floor
Upper Floor
Garden
Patio
VIP Room
Bar
Creating a Section
Go to Restaurant → Sections.
Select the restaurant location.
Click Add Section.
Enter the section details.
Click Add.
Section Fields
Name – Section name.
Sort Order – Controls the order sections appear in the POS.
Step 2 — Create Restaurant Tables
After creating your sections, add the tables used by your restaurant.
Creating a Table
Go to Restaurant → Tables.
Select the restaurant location.
Click Add Table.
Complete the table information.
Click Add Table.
Table Fields
Name
The display name shown throughout the restaurant module.
Examples:
Table 1
VIP 2
Garden 5
Code
A short identifier used internally.
Examples:
T1
VIP1
G5
Section
Assign the table to one of your restaurant sections.
This determines where the table appears in Floor View.
Capacity
Specify how many guests the table can accommodate.
Example:
2
4
6
8
Sort Order
Controls the order tables appear in lists.
Notes
Optional internal notes about the table.
Active
Inactive tables cannot be selected for new orders.
Step 3 — Configure the Floor View
Floor View provides a visual representation of your restaurant layout.
To configure it:
Go to Restaurant → Tables.
Select Floor View.
Choose the section you want to edit.
Tables that have not yet been placed appear in the Unplaced Tables panel.
Placing Tables
Click Place beside an unplaced table.
The table is added to the floor layout.
Drag the table to its desired position.
The layout is saved automatically.
Editing Table Appearance
Click any table on the floor plan to customize it.
Available options include:
Shape
Width
Height
Rotation
Color
These settings help match your restaurant's actual floor layout.
Removing a Table from the Floor
If you wish to reposition a table later, click:
Send to Tray (Clear Position)
The table returns to the Unplaced Tables panel and can be positioned again.
List View
The List tab provides a traditional table listing showing:
Name
Code
Section
Capacity
Status
Use this view for quickly editing table information.
Best Practices
Create restaurant sections before creating tables.
Use clear table names that staff can easily recognize.
Set the correct seating capacity for each table.
Arrange the Floor View to closely match your actual restaurant layout.
Use colors and shapes to distinguish different table types or dining areas.
Keep inactive tables disabled rather than deleting them to preserve historical order records.
