How does the Tables window on the till work?
- Answer
The Tables window opens with the Tables button next to the payment buttons. In it you choose a table, create a New table, search and filter tables, and with the Restaurant integration you check in guests there (Reservations) or make a reservation (Book). Only one device at a time is on a table; the till reports who has it open.
- Where to find it
Till > Tables (
/WebshopOrder/NewOrder)- Explanation
- Choosing tables. Tap a table: it gets a checkmark and opens on the till. A table with an open bill stands out. With the Restaurant integration the tables are in the colour of their status (the colours from Table settings), with the name of the reservation; a bell on the table is a QR call, which you handle with a tap ("Table ... handled").
- Reservations. At the bottom, with Restaurant, is the Reservations button: the Today's reservations window ("Check in the guests and open the receipt on their table."). Choose Expected or Arrived, tap a reservation, set the Number of guests right and tap Check in. The receipt opens on the table of the reservation. If the reservation has no table, you first choose a table (Choose table). If you tap a table where a reservation is expected, the till asks whether you check in or want to Use anyway the table.
- Book. With Book you make a reservation from the till for the restaurant, activities, the salon, tickets or the hotel, with the same steps as there. A combination discount goes as a comment on the line, for example "Combination discount 10%".
