🪑 Tables

🧭 Overview

The Tables section allows you to create and organize the establishment’s physical tables — also referred to as cost centers.

Tables can be:

  • visually grouped by zones

  • differentiated using table types

This improves readability and efficiency in the Android POS application.


🎯 Purpose of Tables

Tables represent the physical locations where customers are seated.

When an order is assigned to a table, it is linked to a unique identifier, allowing:

  • 📍 accurate tracking by service area

  • 🖨️ consistent receipt and order ticket printing

  • 📊 more detailed and reliable service (shift) reporting


🏷️ Table Types

Table types are used solely for visual classification in the application.

They have no impact on order logic, but help staff quickly identify tables.

Example Types

  • Table with chairs

  • Bar table

  • High table

  • Low table

💡 Best practice

Use clear, descriptive types to improve navigation and reduce errors during order taking.


🗺️ Table Zones

Zones allow tables to be grouped based on their physical location or service area.

They help with:

  • navigation within the application

  • staff allocation

  • management of distinct spaces

Example Zones

  • Indoor

  • Outdoor

  • Terrace

  • Balcony

📌

Zones are especially useful for establishments that are:

  • large in size

  • divided into multiple areas

  • operating differentiated services (e.g., terrace / dining room)


➕ Adding a Table

To create a new table:

  1. Go to the Tables section

  2. Click Add table

  3. Fill in the following fields:

    • Table number (required)

    • Table type (optional)

    • Table zone (optional)

⚠️

Only the table number is mandatory.

Using types and zones is strongly recommended for better organization and an optimal POS experience.
