How to Create and Manage Tables (A to Z Guide)

Efficient table management is essential for the smooth operation of your restaurant. With SmartApp.az, creating and managing tables is straightforward. Follow this step‑by‑step guide to set up your tables.

1. Accessing the Tables Section

After logging in, navigate to Settings from the left panel and click on Tables. Here you'll see a list of all your venue's tables and the zones they belong to.

2. Adding a New Table

To add a new table or zone, click the Add Table button in the upper‑right corner. In the dialog that opens, fill in the following details:

• Zone: Select the area where the table is located (e.g., Main Hall, Terrace, VIP Room).

• Table number or name: Give the table an identifier (e.g., Table 1, Booth A).

• Capacity: Enter how many guests can be seated, which helps with reservations.

3. Managing Tables and Statuses

Each entry has edit and delete buttons next to it. You can set a table's status to Active or Inactive. Active tables appear on the orders dashboard grid; inactive ones are hidden.

4. Managing Zones

If your venue has multiple zones (e.g., main hall, terrace, VIP room), you can create a separate Group for each. This keeps the orders panel organized, displaying tables by zone.

Zone Organization Tips

Give each zone a clear name and assign tables consistently. This makes it easier for staff to locate orders quickly.

Proper table management increases throughput, reduces waiting times, and simplifies staff workflow. With SmartApp.az, you can monitor each table's status in real time. Learn more about optimizing your floor plan at SmartApp.az.
