The Tables command on the Point of Sale (POS) Configuration menu allows you to identify each table in any outlet, and associate each with a Table Section. Staff will select a table when opening a check.
For outlets that do not have checks associated with specific tables, you can simply create an "Any" or other generic table name for that outlet. All checks opened for that outlet will be associated with that generic table.
Each table you create is associated with a specific Table Section. The Table Sections are associated with each outlet. See Configure Table Section for Point of Sale (POS) for more details.
Select Tables from the Restaurant section of the Point of Sale (POS) Configuration menu.
The Tables screen display is split into two frames, with the left side of the screen listing any already configured tables for the property and the right side containing the fields you need to complete in order to add or edit a table for the property. Any changes made on the right, once saved, will be updated in the listings to the left.
The currently configured table section options can be displayed by:
Section: This displays the name of the table section a particular table is located in. (The section names are associated with the tables in Table Section, see Configure Table Section for Point of Sale (POS)). This can be sorted alphabetically, or a particular section selected for display from the drop-down menu.
List Order: This determines where the table appears listed in the interface.
Name: The names of the tables can be sorted alphabetically or a particular table searched for manually.
Selecting any table will display the details on the right.
Your options include the following:
Generate a new entry:
Click the New 
button from the toolbar to add a new Table.
Complete the fields described below.
OR:
Select an existing Table from the list on the left, and click the Replicate 
button from the toolbar.
Then change the field information as described below. This is useful if you are creating several tables for the same section.
Edit the current selection:
Change the field information described below.
List Order: This determines in what order the table section appears listed in the interface.
Enter a number into the List Order field.
This field is optional, however it we recommend that you list the tables in order within each table section. This makes it easier for staff to find the table they need in the interface.
Table: This is the label that appears for the table in the interface.
Enter a name or number for the table in the Table field.
This field is required. Use a label that will be easy for staff to identify and select in the interface.
Section: This is the section where the table is located.
Select from the Section drop down list. When the staff selects this section, the choices for tables are limited to those associated with the section on this screen.
Not Active?: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default, it is unchecked.
It should only be checked if the table is no longer in use.
Once a table has been added to the list on the left, it will remain in the list (cannot be deleted) if there has been any checks created for it. Once a check is created, it exists in several places in the system, and therefore there cannot be a check for somewhere that does not exist.
When you are finished adding or editing tables, click the Save 
button to save the changes.
To view any changes made, click the Activity log 
button in the local tool bar.
