Tables 2, 4, and 5: These tables’ total capacity is, respectively, 2, 4, and 8 people.
Table 1: The table of two is full.
Table 3: The table of four is taken by one person.
Table 5: “Famous Joe” has a reservation for 8 people at 12:00.

To create floors and tables from the frontend, open a POS session, click the hamburger menu icon ≡ in the upper right corner, then Edit Plan to enter the edit mode.
Click + Add Floor to add a floor, then enter a name in the pop-up window.
Once a floor is created, add a table by clicking + TABLE. To move it, select it and drag and drop it as desired. You can also modify the attributes of the selected table, such as the number of seats by clicking SEATS, the table shape using SHAPE, the table color using FILL, or the table name by clicking RENAME. To duplicate an existing table, select it and click COPY. You can also remove the table by clicking DELETE.
After making all the necessary modifications, click CLOSE to save.
Note
If no table is selected, the modifications are applied to the floor.

Removing a table or a floor cannot be undone.
Table transfer¶
To move customers from one table to another, select a table and click → Transfer on the POS interface. This redirects you to the floor plan view, where you can choose the new table to which you want to transfer the customers.
When you transfer customers, all of the orders they have placed and that are linked to the original table are also transferred.
