A9. Configure the floor plan🔗

In brief🔗

The floor plan lets you represent your areas and tables in PosCaisse. It serves dine-in service: the cashier can attach an order to a table, see the occupied tables, transfer an order and better track the service.

Who / when🔗

For the Admin (or an authorized employee), when installing a restaurant with dine-in service, then at each change of room, terrace or table organization.

How to access🔗

Admin → Floor plan.

Requirements🔗

🔑 Manage layout

Screen tour🔗

Floor plan editor

The Floor plan editor screen consists of three main areas:

Area Role
Room/area tabs Choose the room, the terrace or the area to edit.
List of tables Add, edit, duplicate, delete or disable a table.
Plan preview Place the tables visually, move them, resize them and check the final result.

At the top, the actions allow displaying the grid, enabling snap to grid, using templates, saving, or saving the plan as a reusable template.

Step-by-step procedures🔗

Create a room or an area🔗

  1. Open Admin → Floor plan.
  2. Tap Add a room/area.
  3. Give a clear name: Room, Terrace, Floor, VIP…
  4. Save.

Add a table🔗

  1. Select the relevant room.
  2. Tap Add a table.
  3. Fill in the number, the optional name, the capacity, the shape and the color.
  4. Place the table in the preview, then save.

Adjust the plan🔗

  • Move a table directly in the preview.
  • Resize it if necessary.
  • Enable the grid and the alignment to get a clean plan.
  • Disable a table rather than deleting it if it is temporarily unavailable.

Use the plan during the sale🔗

The plan becomes useful on the sales screen if the Floor plan widget is present in the layout (Configure the POS screen). The cashier can then choose a table, attach an order, recall an occupied table or transfer an order.

Messages & edge cases🔗

  • A deleted table must no longer be used by an order in progress. If you reorganize the room during service, prefer to disable or edit after closure.
  • In multi-register, the tables are data shared by the primary register. The secondary registers must therefore be correctly attached to the local network (Multi-register & network).

Tips🔗

  • Keep simple names: Table 1, Table 2, Terrace 1.
  • Avoid overloading the plan: the cashier must recognize the table at a glance.
  • Use colors only to distinguish areas or table types, not to decorate.
