Manage tables & QR codes

What it's for​

This is the setup side of the floor: creating tables, organising them into areas, editing their details, and getting each table's QR code so guests can scan to view the menu and order.

Add tables​

Choose Add Tables. Numbers are generated for you from the area's prefix (M1, M2, M3…).

  1. Choose Multiple to create a batch, or Single table for one.
  2. Pick the Area (its Prefix fills in automatically), set a Start Number, and for a batch the Number of Tables. For a single table you can add an optional Table Label (e.g. Window Seat).
  3. Set Seats per Table.
  4. Check the Tables to be created preview — it flags any numbers that already exist and offers Auto-fix: Use next available number.
  5. Choose Create Tables.
WebAdding tables: pick an area, and numbers generate from its prefix with a live preview.

note

A table's number is its identity — {area prefix}{sequence} (M1, M2…) — and stays fixed; moving a table to another area doesn't renumber it. The label is just a friendly name you can change any time.

Edit a table​

Click any table to open Edit. You can change its Table Label and Seats. The Table identity (prefix + number + area) is locked while the table is in service — take it offline to change those — and seats can't change while it's occupied. Save with Save Changes.

To retire a table, use Delete table (you'll confirm). Note that deleting a table stops its QR code from working.

QR codes​

Each table has its own QR code for QR self-ordering. Choose the QR icon on a table to open it — it shows the code and the order link, captioned "Scan to view menu and order". Point a phone camera at it (or open the link) to see the guest's ordering page for that table.

note

QR codes are per table and shown on screen — display the code at the table (for example on a printed table tent you create from it). Deleting or renumbering a table invalidates its old code.

Areas​

Tables are organised into areas (Main Dining, Outdoor, Bar & Lounge, and so on). Choose an area from the Area picker when creating or editing a table, or use Add custom area to make your own.

Each area header has bulk actions:

  • Detach from POS / Bring Area Online — take a whole area offline or back into service.
  • Delete Area — remove every table in an area.

Both are blocked while any table in the area is occupied.

Worked example​

Set up a new patio. Choose Add Tables, pick Add custom area and name it Patio, set Number of Tables to 6 and Seats per Table to 4, and Create Tables — you get P1–P6. Open each table's QR icon to put a code on every patio table.

Tips & things to watch​

  • ✅ Let numbers auto-generate from the area prefix — it keeps numbering consistent and avoids clashes.
  • ✅ Take a table offline to change its number or area; identity is locked during service to protect live orders.
  • ⚠️ Deleting or renumbering breaks the QR code — reprint the code if you change a table's identity.
