Floor plans and tables represent the seating layout of each area in your restaurant. Create floor plans in order to place orders in Table Service mode at the POS and manage billing by seat.

After creating a floor plan, edit it to change the name, linked order profile, cover count entry, image, and printer settings. Edit the tables on a floor plan to modify their position, number, size, number of seats, and visibility from the floor plan. If you don't need a floor plan or table anymore, delete or disable it to remove it from the POS.
