Table Manager Overview

The table manager feature allows you to view and operate an interactive map of your restaurant or business, enabling you to take orders directly to and from each table. You may create and use multiple table maps, covering your entire workplace.

The table map must be created before it can be used, after which it can be accessed via this module, or from inside POS.

Tip

To create, edit and delete table maps, see here.

Number of Covers

To change the number of covers for a specific table (i.e. The number of people who will be sitting at this table), tap on it. This will cause a small pop-up to appear, showing various options.

Tap the Blue Plus Icon to increase the number of covers, and the Red Minus Icon to decrease covers.

Open in POS

Tapping this button will take you to the POS module, allowing you to take the order directly from the table.

Tip

For a comprehensive guide on ordering directly from an individual table, see here.

Table Status

The buttons highlighted in the image below provide you with a way to set the status for each table. Tillpoint implements the use of a colour coding system to quickly let your staff know the status of each table.

Reserved

Tapping this button will highlight the table in red, removing the Number of Covers and Open in POS options, informing other staff members that the table has been reserved.

Available

This will clear any highlighted colour from the table, making it available once more.

Seated

This is used to indicate to your staff that the customer(s) has been seated and are waiting to be served.

Ordered

Let staff know that the customer has been served by selecting this button, highlighting the table in yellow.

You may modify or print the order while this status has been selected. Tap the table again and these options will be at the top of the small pop-up window, replacing ‘Number of Covers’ and ‘Open in POS’.

Bill Served

This lets your staff know that the customer has received their bill.

Tip

The status of the table will automatically be upgraded from ‘Ordered’ to ‘Bill Served’ at the point of printing the customer’s bill. It does not, however, happen if you print the receipt to the second printer (i.e. The chef’s printer, down in the kitchen).

Paid

The table will be highlighted in green once the bill has been paid. Similar to ‘Bill Served’, this happens automatically after receiving payment from the customer.
