About Managing the Floor Plan for a Dining Area
If a POS Operator has access to the POS Manager module in POS, then they can manage the floor plan of their dining area.
Managing the floor plan for a dining area involves positioning tables onscreen to match their physical locations in the dining area. In addition, for a square and rectangle table, you select how many seats are located on each side of the table. For a circular table the seats will be spaced evenly around the table, but in order for them to appear you first have to open the table onscreen and then click Save.
Accessing Table Management via POS Manager
Managing the floor plan for a dining area is accomplished through POS Manager via the Table Management option, accessed as follows:
- In POS, from the Tools menu at the top right of the screen, select POS Manager. The POS Manager screen appears.
- Tap Table Management. The Tables Management screen appears (screenshot below). Note that upon the first time accessing this screen the tables are stacked upon one another in the middle of the screen.
Positioning the Tables
- While in POS Manager > Table Management, drag and drop each table to its appropriate position onscreen.
- Tap the Save button at the top right to apply your changes.
Selecting Number of Seats for Each Side of a Square or Rectangle Table
For a square table or rectangular table, you can select the number of seats on each side of the table. To do so, complete the following steps:
- While in POS Manager > Table Management, either double-tap a square or rectangular table, or click its corresponding Edit button in the left pane. The Edit Table pop-up appears (screenshot below).
Note that the number of seats assigned to the table is listed in the Number of Seats field at the top of the pop-up. The Number of Seats can only be changed in the core MealSuite system by a user with access (instructions to do so are located here: Changing Number of Seats for a Table.
- For each side of the table, enter the number of seats located on the side. The total number of seats from all sides must match the Number of Seats number.
- Tap Save at the bottom right. Note that if the total number of seats from all sides does not match the Number of Seats number, the Save button will be inactive.
Displaying the Seats for a Circular Table
For a circular table, the seats will be spaced evenly around the table, but in order for them to appear you first have to open the table and then click Save. To do so, complete the following steps:
- While in POS Manager > Table Management, either double-tap a circular table, or click its corresponding Edit button in the left pane. The Edit Table pop-up appears (screenshot below).
- Click the Save button. The pop-up closes and you are returned to the Tables Management screen, where the seats are now appearing and spaced evenly around.
