Floor plan

The Tables entry opens Room & service . The floor plan and current-order monitor complement each other. Filter orders, open their details and check payment state before acting. Service viewing, layout editing and releasing paid tables require separate permissions: viewing service does not automatically allow table changes. Releasing paid tables requires order-management permission. It makes tables available without taking payment again. If data is partial or stale, refresh and check the register before concluding a table is free.

Detailed manuals and practical procedures for all eight activities. Available functions depend on your installation’s profile, modules and permissions.

Room and service: current orders

The Tables entry opens Room & service. The floor plan and current-order monitor complement each other. Filter orders, open their details and check payment state before acting. Service viewing, layout editing and releasing paid tables require separate permissions: viewing service does not automatically allow table changes. Releasing paid tables requires order-management permission. It makes tables available without taking payment again. If data is partial or stale, refresh and check the register before concluding a table is free.

At a glance

The Floor plan screen (Tables) gives you a real-time view of your dining room — which tables are free, occupied or reserved — and lets you draw the layout: floors, tables and zones, by simple drag and drop. It works in two modes: Monitoring and Edit layout.

Who / when

For the manager who tracks occupancy during service, and for the one who sets up or rearranges the room (adding a floor, a terrace, repositioning tables). Use it during setup, during a rearrangement, or continuously throughout service.

How to get there

Management → Tables

Prerequisites

🔑 Manage floor plan

Screen tour

At the top, a Real-time badge confirms the display is up to date, and a button toggles between Monitoring and Edit layout. A search lets you find a table by number, server or customer.

The 6 key indicators

  • Occupancy %: the room's occupancy rate.

  • Free: available tables.

  • Occupied: tables with an order in progress.

  • Reserved: reserved tables.

  • Avg. duration: average occupancy time.

  • Longest: the longest occupancy currently in progress.

The canvas

Below the indicators, floor tabs (Main room, Terrace…) give access to the layout. The canvas displays the tables (round, square or rectangular) and the zones, with a status color code. In Monitoring mode, click a table to see its details on the right. In edit mode, you move and configure the elements.

Step-by-step procedures

Monitor the room (Monitoring mode)

  1. Stay in Monitoring mode.

  2. Read the indicators at the top and the table statuses on the layout.

  3. Click a table to open its details on the right, with the available actions.

Manage a table during service

From a table's detail panel (Monitoring mode):

  • Free up: marks the table as available again.

  • To clean: flags the table as needing to be cleared/cleaned.

  • Disable: temporarily removes the table from service.

Edit the layout (edit mode)

  1. Switch to Edit layout.

  2. Drag and drop the tables and zones to position them on the canvas.

  3. Select a table to open its edit panel on the right: number, name, shape and capacity.

  4. You can also edit a floor or a zone from their dedicated panels.

  5. Use Undo / Redo as needed. Changes are saved automatically.

Use a room template

  1. In edit mode, open the template selector to start from an existing layout, or save your current layout as a template.

  2. Apply a template to load it onto the current floor.

Delete a table or a floor

  1. Select the element in edit mode.

  2. Trigger the deletion and confirm in the dialog.

Messages & edge cases

  • The display is real-time: a table's status changes automatically when an order is opened or closed on the register.

  • A disabled table no longer counts in the occupancy indicators and can no longer be assigned.

  • Autosave records your changes continuously in edit mode; Undo / Redo lets you step back before leaving.

Tips

  • Create several floors (room, terrace, upstairs) to faithfully reflect your establishment and keep the layout readable.

  • Save a room template before a major rearrangement: you'll be able to revert to the previous configuration in one click.

  • The To clean status helps the team move from one service to the next without leaving a table occupied for too long in the statistics.
