How to Create Graphical Table Layout

*Note:

This option is available with Android and Web POS at the moment, operates in landscape mode and an internet connection is required to operate.
You can't use both the standard and graphical layout simultaneously. If you change the layout option and have QR ordering activated, please choose the tables and generate the QR code again.
We recommend using screens 10 inches or larger for an optimal user experience.
Kindly note that the term previously referred to as "Reservation / Table Room" in older versions has now been updated. In the latest version, the correct term is "Service Area."
