Default & Primary Service Area
Your store has one default service area, and each POS and Mobile POS can remember its own primary area. When staff open table service from the Home screen, the device opens its primary area, so servers land in their own section instead of switching every time.
Store default area:
Set in the Store Portal. Each store has one default area.
The first area you create automatically becomes the default. If you delete the default area, another area is assigned as the default automatically.
The default area can only be changed in the Store Portal, not on the POS or Mobile POS.
Set the primary area on a POS:
On the POS, go to [Settings] - [Primary Service Area].
Select the area this POS should open to, or select [Default] to follow the store default area.
Note:
Switching to another area while serving is temporary and does not change the primary area. The next time you open table service from the Home screen, the device opens its primary area again.
The primary area stays set when employees log in and out or the device restarts.
If a device is switched to a different store, its primary area is cleared.
Table Editor
Create a Table:
Click [Tables Module] to add tables, choosing either round or square shapes.
Use the [Barriers & Labels] module to add obstacles.
Once finish editing, click [Publish] to save and apply the changes.
Edit a Table:
Click on the table you want to edit, then set the table name and size. After editing, click [Done] to save the changes. You can also click the [trash bin] icon to delete the table.
