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.

Floor Plan screen in the Back Office with tables arranged in a room

How the screen is organized

  • Toolbar: + Table adds one table, and + Tables adds 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’s Min and Max.
  • Room header buttons: the pencil renames the room, Layout opens the drawing tools, and + Add adds 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

  1. Select + Table, or + Add in a room’s header to start in that room.
  2. Fill in the table:
    • ID: the name staff see, such as A1 or Patio 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.
    • Min and Max: the party sizes the table seats. Min is at least 1, and Max is at least Min. 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.
  3. 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.

  1. Select + Tables.
  2. Enter a Prefix, such as Bar, plus a Start and End number. End must be greater than Start. Each table is named Prefix Number, with a space, such as Bar 1. A preview shows the range and count, such as Creates: Bar 1 – Bar 10 (10 tables).
  3. Set the Room, Min, Max, Available for online reservation, Shape & Size, and Rotation. Every table in the batch gets the same settings.
  4. 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

  1. Select the pencil in the room’s header.
  2. Type the new name and select Save. Press Esc to 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.

  1. Select Layout in the room’s header.
  2. 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 labeled Entrance.
    • Restroom: a box labeled WC.
    • Text: a free label that starts as Label. Select it and change the wording in the box below the floor plan.
    • Shape: a plain rectangle for a bar, counter, or host stand.
  3. Drag an element to move it. Drag the square in the corner of a selected box to resize it. Text labels don’t resize.
  4. 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.
  5. Select Save Layout to keep your changes, or Cancel to 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.
