Create a Floor Plan

Floor Plans allow servers to assign customers to a table using a visual layout of the dining venue. New floor plans are usually create from the Touchscreen, but they must be attached to an existing table area and have tables created beforehand from the Back Office.

  1. On the main screen, select the Admin button.
     
  2. Select Create Floor Plan from the administration screen.
     


 

*NOTE: Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.

  1. Identify the new floor plan using the following description fields:

  1. Press and highlight the desired table or shape on the floor plan.
     
  2. Click Edit Table. This is used for both tables and non-table shapes.

  • Height – Enter a new height for the object.
  • Width – Enter a new width for the object.
  • Rotation – Enter an angle degree to rotate the object.
  • Font – Enter a new size for the object’s text. The default font size is 12.

*NOTE: Use the Clear button to remove the current value of a field.

  1. Select Change Shape to choose a new shape from the available options.

  2. Select Change Color to choose a new color from the available options.
     
  3. When finished editing, click Save Table. This is used for both tables and non-table shapes.
