# Consumer Areas & Tables
## Setup – Consumer Areas
**Tables** are used when we need to enter into the system customer **orders that will be paid later**. You can add Items to a Table, as long as it is not charged, being able to open and close it as many times as necessary.
Depending on the size of each business, it is possible to create different **Consumer Areas**, each one with its own Tables and its assigned Sales Price Levels. For example, in a restaurant, you can have an Area for the **bar**, another one for the **interior lounge** and another one for the tables on the **terrace**.
You can also use this functionality to **store customer or room accounts**.
In this screen, you can add the different **Consumer Areas**, to which you can then add **tables** manually or generate a certain number automatically.
First tap the 
button and then the 
button corresponding to the option to add a new **Consumer** **area**.
If you want to edit/delete existing areas, double tap on them.
Here, you can **enter the data** for a new Consumer Area:
* ***Code:*** By default, the system generates a sequential code, which can be changed as long as it is unique.
* ***Name:*** Here you must enter the name of the Consumer Area.
* ***Price Level:*** When you select a Table from this Consumer Area, this Price Level will be applied by default.
* ***Number of Tables:*** Enter here the Number of Tables you want to generate automatically in this Consumer Area.
##
In this example, we have generated **15** **tables** at the moment of creating the Consumer Area. You can **generate more tables** using the 
button.
You must enter here the **number of tables** that will be created. They will use the **Code** of the Table as the **Name** of the Table.
##
The other way to create Tables is to do it one by one.
If you select a **Consumer Area** and tap the button you can choose between the options provided: crate a **new** **Consumer Area** or **add** **tables** to the selected Consumer Area using the corresponding button.
If you want to edit/delete the existing tables, double tap on them.
Here, you can **enter the values** for the table:
* ***Code:*** The code that will be used to access the Table manually via the keypad. By default, the system generates a sequential code, which can be changed as long as it is unique.
* ***Name:*** The name of the Table.
* ***Type:*** The usual type is Table. You can change it to **Decoration** or **Pavement** in case it is used to designate a decorative element in the table graphic plan (such as a bar counter, a column, a plant, etc.).
* ***Consumer Area:*** Define in which area the table will be located.
* ***Guests Num.:*** You can set the number of guests that will use this table. By default, the number is set to 1 diner.
* ***Movable:*** If you activate this option, the contents of this table can be moved to another table.
##
When you have created all the tables, in the PRO and SERVER versions of the application, you can make a graphical design of the **Area Plan**, so that it resembles the real one and thus make it easier to use and locate the tables. Tap on the **Plan** button.
Here, you can see an **empty Plan** and all available icons for **Table images**. Select a **table icon** to insert it and assign it a table number in the floor plan.
Once the icon is selected, the **list of all available tables** will appear. If necessary, new tables can be created by clicking on the **New Element** line. Select a table from the list.
The **new table is added** in the center of the screen. You can **move** the table by **dragging** it to its new position.
Once you have moved the table, you can also **change the size** of the table. Tap on the table and red dots will appear around the table. **Drag** any of these dots to **resize the table manually**.
As you can see, although it is very easy to resize, it is difficult to make all tables the same size. There is another way to change the image properties, which is to **long press on the Table** **for 2 seconds**.
The following options are available here:
* ***Copy:*** To copy the properties of the current table and then paste them to another table.
* ***Delete:*** To delete this table from the drawing.
* ***Edit:*** To change the size and position values.
* ***Paste:*** To paste the properties of another table.
Now we are going to **change the size** of a table. Tap on the **Edit** option.
Here you can easily set both the size and the position, in case you want to align the tables.
##
Now we will add a **new table**.
The **new table has a different size** than the others you have created. You can **copy the properties** of the first table.
Long press the **first table** and select the **Copy** option.
Then, long press the **second table** and select the **Paste** option.
Both tables are now the same size.
##
You can also use objects as **decorative elements** to make the plan look more like the real image. You can use objects like a **bar counter**, a **column** or a **plant**. Remember to use the tables created with the **Decoration Type** only for objects that will not be used for selling.�
