Tables — add & manage your tables

Tables are the seatable spots in your venue. You need them before you can put a QR "Table" code on a table or ring up a dine-in sale against one — the POS table-picker and the QR code list both read from here.

Open it from Setup → Tables (you need to be an Administrator).

Before you start

  • (Optional) If you group tables by area — a Department like Restaurant, Patio Bar, Poolside — those departments should already exist (Setup → Departments). You can assign a table to one, but it's not required.

Add tables quickly (a whole floor at once)

  1. Click Quick add (top right).
  2. Enter How many tables you want.
  3. Leave the Name prefix as Table (or change it, e.g. Patio).
  4. (Optional) pick a Department to assign them all to.
  5. Click Add tables. They're created as Table 1, Table 2, … — and if you already have some, the numbering continues (so adding 5 more to "Table 1–10" makes "Table 11–15", never duplicates).

Add or edit one table

  1. Click New table (or the pencil on a row to edit).
  2. Enter the Name (this shows on the POS and on the table's QR sticker).
  3. (Optional) set its Department, Type (Booth, Bar, Outdoor…) and Size (e.g. "4 seats").
  4. Leave Active ticked so it's usable. Click Save.

Retire a table

Click the delete (trash) icon on a row. The table is retired (marked inactive) rather than deleted — it stops appearing on the POS and for new QR codes, but its past sales and history stay intact. To bring it back, open it and tick Active again.

What next?

Once your tables exist, go to Setup → QR Ordering Codes and use Bulk create to generate a QR code for each table in one go, then print the stickers.

To let cashiers send orders to these tables from the till and bill them later, turn on Table service in Setup → POS — see Table service — send orders to a table, bill it later.

Tips

  • Names should be unique — the app stops you creating two tables with the same name, since the name is how staff and customers tell them apart.
  • Use departments if different areas have different menus (e.g. a Patio Bar that only serves drinks) — you route a QR code through the matching till.

Common problems

  • "A table named … already exists" → pick a different name; each table name must be unique.
  • A retired table still shows in the list → the list shows retired tables (greyed, Active = off) so you can reactivate them. It won't appear on the POS or in new QR codes while inactive.
  • I don't see Tables in the menu → you need the Company Settings permission and to be an Administrator.
