Setup - Consumer Areas

Consumer Areas & Tables

Tables are used when you need to enter orders that will be paid later. You can add items to a table while it remains opened and close the table when all items are paid.

You can create different sales areas depending on the size of your business. Each sales area can also have a different price level. For example, in a restaurant, they can have an area in the bar, another for tables inside and another for tables on the terrace.

You can also use this feature to track customer accounts.

In this screen we will add the different areas with the correspondent tables contained on each area. Push the button and then the button to add a Consumer Area.

Here you can enter the data for the new area:

• Name: The name of the Area.
• Price Level: The default price level that will be applied when using a table of this area.
• Number of Tables: You can generate some tables automatically.

In this sample we generated 10 tables when we created the Consumer Area. You can generate more tables using the button.

You can enter here a 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 one Consumer Area and push the button, you have the option to create a new consumer area or add tables to the selected area. Push the correspondent button to add a table.

Here you can enter the values for the table:

• Code: The code of the table can be used to enter the table manually using the keypad.
• Name: The name of the table.
• Type: You can change this value to Theme if you want to use this table as a decoration object (like a bar, a plant).
• Guests: You can fix a number of guests when using this table. By default all sales are fixed to 1 guest.
• Movable: Select if you allow to move the contents of this table to another one.

When you have all tables created you can draw the Plan of the Area so it can look like your real area. Push the Plan button.

You can see here an empty plan and a sort of table images. Select a table icon to insert it as a table.

After selecting an image it appears the list of all available tables. In case it is necessary, you can create new tables with the New Element line. Select one table from the list.

The new table is added in the middle of the screen. You can move the table by dragging it to the new position.

Once you moved the table you can also change the size of it. Push on the table and you will see some red points surrounding the table. Drag any of this points to change the size manually.

As you can see, it is very easy to change the size but it is very difficult to put all tables at the same size. There is another method to change the image properties. Push on the table image for 2 seconds.

Here you have some options:

• Copy: To copy current size properties to assign to other tables.
• Delete: To delete this table from the plan.
• 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. Push the Edit option.

You can fix easily the correct size and also the position if you want to have some tables in the same line.

Now we will add a new table.

The new table has a different size than the other we created. You can copy the properties from the first table.

Push the first table for 2 seconds and select the Copy option.

Now push the second table for 2 seconds and select the Paste option.

Both tables are now the same size.

You can add also some objects as decorations to make the plan look like your real table area. You can use objects like a bar or a plant. Remember to use tables created as Theme type for objects that will not be used to sell.
