Floor Layout

Feature Overview

The Floor Layout builder lets you create and maintain a visual map of your restaurant's dining room. By placing tables of different shapes and sizes on a digital floor plan, you give your team a real-time visual reference for seating, reservations, and table availability. An accurate layout is essential for using the Grid view in Reservations and for tracking table turns in your reporting.

Prerequisites / Requirements

• Your account must have layout edit permissions (typically manager-level or above).
• A Revenue Center must be active and selected — layouts are built per Revenue Center.
• The floor plan is accessed by navigating to your Revenue Center's layout page.

Step-by-Step Guide

Accessing the Floor Layout

1. In the left-hand navigation, select the Revenue Center you want to configure.
2. Navigate to the Floor Layout page for that Revenue Center (accessible from the sidebar or from the Reservations Grid view).
3. The layout editor opens with your current floor plan (or a blank canvas if no layout has been created yet).

Adding Tables to Your Floor Plan

1. Click the Add Table button (the icon with a plus sign or grid icon in the toolbar).
2. A popover panel appears showing available table shapes:
   • Large circle
   • Small circle
   • Rectangle
   • Large square
   • Small square
3. Click the shape you want to add.
4. The table is placed on the canvas. Click and drag it to position it where it belongs in your dining room.

Moving and Repositioning Tables

1. Click on any table on the canvas to select it.
2. Drag the table to its new position.
3. Release to drop it in place.

Editing Table Details

1. Click on a table on the canvas to open its settings panel.
2. In the Settings Panel, update the table's name/number, seating capacity, and any other available properties.
3. Changes are reflected immediately on the canvas.

Adding Walls and Room Dividers

1. Activate the Wall Mode by clicking the wall toggle button in the toolbar.
2. Click and drag on the canvas to draw walls or dividers that represent the physical boundaries of your dining area.
3. Toggle off Wall Mode to return to table editing mode.

Merging Tables

1. In the toolbar, click the Merging mode button.
2. Select two or more tables you want to combine into a single reservation unit.
3. Confirm the merge to save the configuration.

Previewing the Layout

1. Click the Preview (eye icon) button in the toolbar to see how the layout appears to your team in the Reservations Grid view.
2. Click the same button again to exit the preview and return to edit mode.

Saving the Layout

1. After making changes, click the Save button in the toolbar.
2. The layout is saved and will be visible to all staff in the Reservations Grid view.

Common Troubleshooting / FAQs

Q: I saved the layout but tables are not appearing in the Reservations Grid view. After saving, the Reservations Grid may need a page refresh to load the updated layout. Navigate away from the Grid view and return to it, or perform a full page refresh. If tables still do not appear, verify the layout was saved for the correct Revenue Center — each Revenue Center has its own independent floor plan.

Q: A table I deleted is still showing up on the Reservations page. Deleting a table that has existing future reservations assigned to it may prevent it from disappearing immediately. Reassign or cancel any active reservations on that table first, then delete the table again and save the layout.
