Run a table from the dashboard

Open a table bill from Orders, add to it on the Tables tab, settle it at the Counter, and clear the seat when they leave.

A table QR lets the guest order. This guide is the staff side: you take a round, you add to it, you take the money, you end the sitting. The codes themselves stay on Table QRs.

Who can do this

Staff need the Orders tick. On a shop with table QR on, that tick reads Orders & tables. There is no extra tick. See Add staff and choose what they see.

Orders is the tick. On a cafe it reads Orders and tables, and that is the whole grant.

Open a bill

On Orders, press New order. Handover is three states: Counter, Table, Delivery. Pick Table and the seat.
Type the name if you asked. If you leave it blank it is Walk-in, never the table number. The seat still shows on the board as a table chip.
Paid stays off. The kitchen needs an open ticket. The counter is where the money is taken later.

The Tables tab, after Orders, is the floor: each seat, what is on it, Add items, Settle at counter, and Clear table.

The Table bills tab: a card for each of eight tables, most reading Nothing ordered yet, two carrying their lines and a total, and every card offering Add items and Clear table — The Tables tab. A seat with a bill on it also offers Settle at counter; an empty seat does not.

The Add to Table 4 sheet with the menu on the left and Place order on the right — Add items on a seat. The round goes on that table's bill.

Settle at the counter

The counter has the same seats in a Tables strip. Tap the seat. New items are Not sent until you press Send to Table 4, with that seat's number. The sent round keeps the time it went. Checkout takes the money for what is already on the seat. It updates those tickets. It does not ring a new walk-in sale. Walk-in leaves the seat without losing its draft.

The counter with tables expanded: eight seats, Table 4 and Table 7 showing open bills, and the walk-in bill still on the right — Show all tables on the counter. Table 4 and Table 7 already have bills. The walk-in bill stays on the right.

Before you take the money, press Edit sent items. Then you can change a quantity or tap the bin to take a line off. That writes the kitchen ticket. Taking the last line off a ticket asks first, because that cancels the ticket. Keep leaves the line. Done editing puts the bill back.

Clear the sitting

Clear table ends what the next guest at that QR would see. It does not delete the orders from your board. Use it when the party has left, not when the food has arrived. Done on a plate is not the same as the seat being free.

The kitchen wall can move a ticket by holding the card and dropping it, see Put your orders on a TV.
