Restaurant POS Table management

Your whole floor, at a glance

Every table shows its status, its running bill and how long the guests have been seated, so the manager and waiters always know which table needs attention next.

Overview

A clear picture of the dining room

Tables are laid out by hall or section, just like your real floor: main hall, family area, rooftop or outdoor. Each table changes colour as it moves from free to ordered to billed, so nobody has to walk the floor to find out what is happening.

Tapping a table opens its running order. Waiters add items, send them to the kitchen and print the bill from the same place. If guests change seats, the order moves with them to the new table without re-entering anything.

Key points

  • Floor plan by hall, section or floor
  • Status colours: free, ordered, billed, reserved
  • Running bill and time seated on each table
  • Move or transfer an order between tables
  • Guest count per table for better planning
How it works

From seating to a free table

Step by step, the way it happens in your restaurant.

1
Guests arrive

Host seats them and the table turns occupied.

2
Order taken

Waiter opens the table and adds dishes.

3
Sent to kitchen

Items go to the kitchen as a ticket.

4
Served

Dishes are served; more can be added any time.

5
Bill printed

Table turns red so the cashier knows to collect.

6
Table free

Payment closes the table; it is ready for the next guests.

Notes from our setup team

Practical advice from setting up restaurants like yours.

Draw the floor like the real one

Number tables the way your staff already call them so there is no confusion.

Use the bill-printed colour

The cashier can see at a glance which tables are waiting to pay.

Watch long-seated tables

A table sitting long after serving is a chance to offer dessert or chai.

Keep reservations on the system

A reserved table stays blocked so it is not seated by mistake.

FAQ

Table management: common questions

Can I set up more than one hall or floor?

Yes. Each hall, floor or outdoor area can have its own table layout.

What happens if guests move to another table?

The open order can be moved to the new table with all its items and kitchen history.

Can waiters take orders on a tablet or phone?

Order taking on a handheld device depends on your setup; we confirm the options and devices during setup.

Can a waiter see only their own tables?

Yes. User rights can limit what each waiter can open and change.
