Add Tables & Zones

Tables are the core of your ordering system. Each table gets its own QR code that guests scan to place orders.

Understanding Zones

Zones help you organize tables by area (e.g., Terrace, Bar, Indoor, VIP). They make it easier to:

  • Group tables logically for your staff
  • Filter orders by area
  • Manage large venues efficiently

Creating a Zone

  1. Go to Settings → Tables
  2. Click "Add Zone"
  3. Enter the zone name (e.g., "Terrace", "Bar Area")
  4. Click Save

Adding Tables

  1. Go to Settings → Tables
  2. Click "Add Table"
  3. Enter the table name or number
  4. Optionally assign it to a zone
  5. Click Save

Managing zones and tables (what the buttons do)

In Settings → Tables, you can also manage existing zones and tables:

  • Activate / Deactivate — temporarily turns a zone/table on or off (useful if a table is out of service)
  • Edit table (pencil) — change the table name/number and optionally its zone
  • Open link (link icon) — opens the guest view for a specific table (useful for testing)
  • Regenerate code (refresh icon) — generates a new QR link for the table (old printed QR will stop working)
  • Delete (trash) — deletes the zone or table

Reordering

You can reorder both zones and tables using drag & drop. This order is used in lists across the system.

Table Limits

The number of tables you can create depends on your subscription plan:

If you've reached your table limit, consider upgrading your plan in Settings → Subscription.

Next Steps

Once your tables are set up, generate QR codes for them.
