How does the floor plan (Floorplan) work in Jimani?

Answer

On Floorplan you see your tables per location, in the colour of their status at the chosen time. Tap a free table to make a reservation on it; tap another table for the reservation or the receipt of that table, with Guest arrived, Order and Settle. With Edit you arrange the room: moving tables, a floor, objects, zones, text and, per device, the start screen.

Where to find it

Menu Floorplan (/Floorplan); in the POS, Floorplan in the bar at the top (/Pos/Floorplan); on the handheld, Floorplan in the menu (/Handheld/Floorplan)

Explanation

• At the top. The Locations as tabs (the device remembers the last one chosen), the date (Today), the time slider with Now to go back to the current quarter hour, Edit and Save. You zoom with Zoom in, Zoom out and Fit to screen. The Legend shows what each colour means.
• The sidebar. With Toggle sidebar you collapse or expand it. Upcoming lists the reservations that are still to come, Arrived lists who is already there.
• Making a reservation. Tap a free table. Choose Reservation types and Availability, set From and To, and enter the guest (or tick Passer-by (no guest details)). Under Choose table you see the free tables for that time; Tables selected: shows what you chose. Fill in Reservation name and Language, and optionally Fields and Products. Under Totals you find Total amount, Total paid and Outstanding amount. Tap Save, or Pay to settle straight away. Afterwards you see "Reservation added successfully."
• From jumps along. If you choose a time at which the table is already taken, From jumps to the first free moment and a line under the tables says why, for example "Table 1 is reserved from 18:00 to 20:00."
• A table that is not free. Tap it: for a reservation you see name, time and number of people with Guest arrived (check in), Edit and, if late, also No-show; for an occupied table the receipt per round or course, the open amount, the time at the table and since the last order, with Order and Settle. If the guest asks for service via the QR code, it says "The guests are asking for service." with Handled.
• Checking in with an open bill. If the previous guest at the table still has a bill open, the POS first asks "Table 5: Jansen still has €42.50 open." (with the actual table, name and amount). Choose Settle up first (the POS with that bill), Check in anyway (the previous guest is set to left, their bill stays open on their own POS table) or Cancel.
• Table settings. "Choose per table status the colour and whether the table flashes." Per Status you see the Meaning and you choose the Color and Flash.
