1. Assigning a Table to an Order

When creating a dine-in order, assigning a table helps the restaurant track customer seating, waiter responsibility, and billing accurately.

Why Assign a Table?

• Tracks which customers are seated where.
• Helps waiters manage their assigned tables.
• Prevents order confusion during busy hours.
• Allows table-wise reporting and analytics.

2. Click the Assign Table button on the order panel.
3. The system displays available tables by area.
4. Select an available table.
5. The table will now be linked to the order.

2. Understanding Table Status

The POS automatically manages table availability based on order activity.

• Available — Table is free for new customers.
• Occupied — Active order is linked.
• Reserved — Table booked via reservation system.
