Working with tables and tabs
After you log in to the POS device (only in Table Service mode), tap Point of Sale. The floor plan of your restaurant appears. Use the floor plan to seat customers at a table and enter orders. You can also move customers from one table to another, from a table to a tab, and from a tab to a table.
- Use ADD TAB to start a tab for a customer, such as in a bar environment, without seating a customer at a table.
- Use Sort by on the TABS screen to sort tabs by name or time. Name sorts orders A-Z according to first name, and Time sorts orders from oldest to newest.
- Use Quick Mode to quickly enter customer orders and take payment from the customer.
For more information regarding tables and tabs, refer to Introducing Table Service.
