The Tables floor

What it's for​

Tables is your live picture of the floor — every table, which area it's in, whether it's free or occupied, and what to do with it next. It's where you manage tables as a whole, distinct from seating one during service in the POS.

note

Tables is part of the floor-plan feature. If you don't see it in the sidebar, your plan doesn't have that module enabled.

Where to find it​

Choose Tables in the left sidebar (route /tables).

WebThe Tables floor: tables grouped by area, each showing status and seats.
The Tables floor: tables grouped by area, each showing status and seats.

Views​

  • View toggle: Grid (cards), List (dense rows), and Map (a quiet live floor map, when you have one).
  • Floor Plan button — opens the floor-plan designer to arrange tables visually.

Tables are grouped into areas (each an area panel), and area filter pills — All plus one per area — let you focus on a section.

Table status​

Each table shows a status, colour-coded:

StatusMeaning
Available (green)Free to seat
Occupied (red)Guests seated with an order
Reserved (blue)Held for a booking (shows the guest and a countdown)
Cleaning (amber)Being turned around
Offline (grey)Taken out of service

A card shows the table's name, its seat count, a status badge, and — when booked — a reservation ribbon with the guest's name and time.

Acting on a table​

Each table's button changes with its status:

  • Seat (available) — starts service. This opens a POS order for the table (it takes you to the POS), so seating and ordering are one step.
  • Clear (occupied) — sends it to cleaning. It's blocked while there's an unbilled order — generate the bill in POS first.
  • Ready (cleaning) — marks it available again.
  • Arrived — appears when a booking is due, to mark the guest in.
  • Bring Online — returns an offline table to service.

The KPI chips at the top — Tables, Capacity, Available, Occupied, Reserved — double as filters: tap one to show just those tables.

Worked example​

Turn a table around. A party leaves table M4. On the Tables floor its card shows Occupied; once the bill is settled, choose Clear to send it to Cleaning. When it's wiped down, choose Ready and it's Available for the next guests.

Tips & things to watch​

  • ✅ Seat from here or the POS — either way, Seat opens the order, so nothing is missed.
  • ✅ Use the status chips as filters to find every free (or occupied) table fast.
  • ⚠️ Bill before you clear. A table can't be cleared while it has an unbilled order.
