Adding New Tables

To add a new table, tap the “+” at the bottom of the screen. The table properties will appear on the right, with the name reflecting the number of existing tables.

Renaming Tables

To rename a table, simply tap on the current name and make your changes. You can also modify an existing table by selecting it and adjusting the settings on the right as needed.

In the “Table Number” field (Tischnummer) below, input the number that you use to open a table in the order block.

Table and Printer: A Perfect Match

Below, you'll find the printer settings for the table. By default, the beverage printer is preselected. If you'd prefer invoices for this table to be printed on another printer, tap the printer icon and choose from your available printers.

Tipp: In "Edit Mode," you can select multiple tables using a blue circle and assign a printer to all of them simultaneously. Once you've completed moving tables or assigning printers, tap “Done” at the top.

Special Case: The Counter

The “Counter” table is automatically opened if you book an item in the order block without selecting a table first. Deleting this table also removes your default table, requiring you to select a table before booking an item.

Reordering Tables

You can rearrange the tables in the list view to your preference. To do this, tap "Edit" at the top, hold the three gray lines next to the table, and drag it to your desired position.
