What can you set under Locations and Tables?

Answer

A location is a part of the business where tables are, such as the terrace or the conservatory. Under Restaurant > Locations and Restaurant > Tables you record which locations and tables you have and how many guests fit.

Where to find it

Menu Restaurant > tabs Locations and Tables (/Horeca). New: button Add > Location, Add > Tables, or in the Reservation type window the button Create a new table.

Explanation

First create your locations and then your tables. A table belongs to one location. In the Tables overview you see at the top the number of Active tables and Active chairs. In the list you can adjust a few things right away: a click on the number of seats opens an input with minus and plus, a click on the image lets you choose another one with the arrows and a click on the location goes to the next location. If you want to change or delete several tables at once, choose the pencil (Edit). You can then adjust the table number, the seats and Main guest and tick tables to delete with Deleting tables. Save saves everything; Cancel puts everything back as it was. The button Edit at a table opens the window Table with all details. You create more tables at once with Add > Tables: you choose the location, the number of tables (1 to 50) and then fill in per table the number and the number of seats. A location with tables cannot be turned off; first turn off the tables or move them.

Buttons and settings

Name	What it does	When you use it	Note
Location	At a table: the location where the table is. Under Locations this is the name of the location itself, at most 50 characters and only visible internally.	For every table.	A table belongs to one location.
Maximum number of characters	The counter at the location name: how many characters still fit.	While typing.	-
Maximum quantity of guests	How many guests fit in this location, from 1 to 1000.	For every location.	In the list this column is called Maximum quantity of people.
Outdoor location	Marks the location as an outdoor location, for example a terrace. Default No. The marking also shows as a tick in the list of locations.	For terrace or garden.	-
Active	A location or table can only be reserved if it is active. For a location that also applies to the corresponding tables. Only for an existing location or table; when creating several tables at once Active is on by default.	Turn off to not use a location or table temporarily.	A location with linked tables cannot be turned off. See the message below.
Table number	The number of the table. The field only accepts digits (at most 10 digits) and has a minus and plus button. The number appears on the POS and on the floor plan.	For every table.	The example in the field mentions a name; you can only enter a number.
Seats	The number of seats of the table, from 1 to 1000. Default 1 for a new table. On the screen it says: "What is the number of seats for this table?"	For every table.	Jimani uses the number to choose a suitable table for a reservation.
Number of seats	The same as Seats, but then per table when creating several tables at once. In the list the column is also called Number of seats.	With Add > Tables.	At least 1 per table; otherwise a message follows.
Number of tables	How many tables you create at once in the same location, from 1 to 50.	When you set up a new space.	-
Can be reserved via widget	With Yes the table can be reserved via the reservation widget; with No it is not visible online. Default Yes for new tables. In the Tables list the same choice is a column.	Set to No for tables you only assign yourself.	Only visible with the add-on Online reservations.
Main guest	A column in the Tables list with Yes or No. A main guest table is a separate table for a guest you want to set apart, such as a regular guest. Guests cannot reserve it online, not even as part of a combination table; via the dashboard and the POS it is possible. On the floor plan the table gets a little crown and at the POS the table is behind the button Show main guests.	For tables you keep free for regular guests or management.	In the Reservation type window these tables are together under Main guests. The info button (i) at the column gives this explanation.
Map image	The image the table gets on the floor plan. You page through the available images with the arrows.	For a recognisable floor plan.	-

Messages

Message	What it means	What you do
This location cannot be turned off because tables are linked to it.	You set a location to not active while tables are still linked to it.	First turn off the tables or link them to another location and try again.
