Floor Plan
Your floor plan is the map staff use on the POS Seating screen. Set up each room’s tables here so servers can find a table, seat a party, and see what’s open at a glance.
How the screen is organized
- Toolbar:
+ Tableadds one table, and+ Tablesadds a numbered batch. The zoom control sets the scale for every room, from 0.5x to 1x. It starts at 0.6x. - One floor plan per room, in alphabetical order. Each room header shows the room name, the table count, and the seat range, such as
8 tables, 16–32 seats. The seat range adds up every table’sMinandMax. - Room header buttons: the pencil renames the room,
Layoutopens the drawing tools, and+ Addadds a table to that room.
A room appears once it has at least one table. If you delete a room’s last table, the room disappears from this screen.
Add a table
- Select
+ Table, or+ Addin a room’s header to start in that room. - Fill in the table:
ID: the name staff see, such asA1orPatio 3. Keep it to 20 characters, and unique across all rooms. A longer ID is rejected when you save.Room: pick a room, or type a new name to create one.MinandMax: the party sizes the table seats.Minis at least 1, andMaxis at leastMin. New tables start at 1–2.Available for online reservation: on by default. Online bookings today come from your bookable items in Reservation Settings, not from these tables, so this switch doesn’t change them. It doesn’t affect QR dine-in orders either.Shape & Size: pick one of the square, rectangle, or round presets.Rotation: for square and rectangle tables, pick 0, 45, 90, or 135 degrees. Picking a round shape resets the rotation to 0.
- Select
Save.
The new table is placed on a grid inside its room, using an empty spot first. Drag it into place.
Add several tables at once
Use + Tables to create a numbered set, such as Bar 1 through Bar 10.
- Select
+ Tables. - Enter a
Prefix, such asBar, plus aStartandEndnumber.Endmust be greater thanStart. Each table is namedPrefix Number, with a space, such asBar 1. A preview shows the range and count, such asCreates: Bar 1 – Bar 10 (10 tables). - Set the
Room,Min,Max,Available for online reservation,Shape & Size, andRotation. Every table in the batch gets the same settings. - Select
Save.
New tables appear in rows inside the room, using empty spots first. If the room is full, tables overlap existing spots. Drag them into place.
Max can equal Min. For tables that seat exactly four, set both to 4.
You can add up to 100 tables at once. Keep each name to 20 characters, including the prefix, space, and number. One name that’s too long rejects the whole batch.
The confirmation counts the tables created or recovered. Existing names are skipped, and a separate message lists up to five skipped names. If every name is skipped, you see All table names already exist.
To find a table outside the room, see Find tables outside the room.
Edit or delete a table
Click a table to open Edit Table. Change any field and select Save.
To delete it, select the trash icon in the dialog and confirm.
Move tables
Drag a table to a new spot. It moves in small steps, finer than the grid lines. Tables inside the room stay inside, including rotated tables. The new position saves as soon as you let go.
If the pointer leaves the floor plan mid-drag, the table goes back to where it was.
Find tables outside the room
Tables outside the room appear in the shaded area beyond its outline. A note below the floor plan counts them. Scroll sideways if the floor plan is wider than your screen.
Drag a table into the room, or click it to edit or delete it. A table outside the room can also move within the shaded area.
Rename a room
- Select the pencil in the room’s header.
- Type the new name and select
Save. PressEscto cancel.
Every table in the room moves to the new name, and so does the room’s drawn layout. If another room already has that name and a drawn layout of its own, the tables join it and that room’s layout stays. The renamed room’s drawing isn’t carried over.
If the room has a drawn layout and the new name already has a layout, a warning says this room’s layout won’t move with the rename. Confirm to rename anyway, or cancel to keep the current name.
Draw walls and fixtures
Draw the room around the tables so staff can read the floor plan at a glance.
- Select
Layoutin the room’s header. - Add elements from the header:
Wall: a thick line. Select it, then drag either end to change its length and angle.Entrance: a dashed box labeledEntrance.Restroom: a box labeledWC.Text: a free label that starts asLabel. Select it and change the wording in the box below the floor plan.Shape: a plain rectangle for a bar, counter, or host stand.
- Drag an element to move it. Drag the square in the corner of a selected box to resize it. Text labels don’t resize.
- With an element selected, use the up arrow to bring it to the front, the down arrow to send it to the back, or the trash icon to delete it.
- Select
Save Layoutto keep your changes, orCancelto discard them.
Nothing you draw is saved until you select Save Layout. Tables still move and save on their own while you draw.
Use a computer with a mouse or trackpad for the drawing tools. On a touch screen you can drag tables, but not walls, fixtures, or their handles.
A room’s drawing stays saved even after its last table is deleted. If you later add a table to a room with the same name, the old drawing comes back.
On the POS
The POS Seating screen uses these rooms and tables, and POS 7.5.5 or later also shows the walls and fixtures you draw. The POS loads the drawing when it starts and again when you tap Layout on the Seating screen. A drawing you just saved can take up to 10 minutes to appear. Managers can also add, delete, and arrange tables from the POS with Layout. See Seating on the POS.
