Table operations

By viewing the color of the table, its state can be known:

• Green means the table is empty

• Orange means the table contains items and it's parked

• Red means this table is currently open in other terminal and it can’t be accessed at the moment.

If you tap a Green table it will be opened directly.

In Orange tables, the indicator’s color (the colored point inside the table) shows how long the table has been busy:

• Red indicates that the table has been occupied for less than 70 minutes.

• Orange indicates that the table has been occupied between 70 and 90 minutes.

• Green indicates that the table has been occupied for more than 70 minutes.

If you tap an Orange table a menu will pop-up:

• Restore will open the table.
• Preview will display the current table’s items in an emergent screen.

• Delete will cancel all the content of the table. The canceled orders will be printed in the preparation printer.

• Print Preview will issue a proforma receipt of the current table.

A printer icon is displayed in the table to indicate the waiter that customers will pay soon and leave the place, so the table will be available again.

• Move will allow you to transfer the content of this table to another table. You can change the Consumer Area if necessary.

Red tables are in use on another terminal. If necessary, the table can be Unlocked to be able to open it in this terminal.

You will get a warning message. If this table is open on another terminal, entered items may be lost.

Open Receipts and Tables Operations

During sales, orders can be saved to keep adding items or end the transaction later. This is a common function in restaurants that used to save table orders.

If you want to work with tables you must open a table before start the sale. A table can be accessed by entering its number on the numeric keypad followed by the TABLE NUMBER button.

If the table number exists in more than one Consumer area, it will be necessary to choose the area.

If the table wasn’t open, it will be requested a confirmation to open it.

Another way to store orders is to park a direct sale without using tables. In order to do it you must enter the items an then use the PARK RECEIPT button.

When you park a direct sale a name or description will be requested. If this field is leaved empty, a receipt number will be assigned.

Or you can enter a name to be stored.

On the list of pending orders you will see the name or receipt number below the table icon.
