Dining Layout

The floor an order is taken against: rooms, tables, seats and the order they sit in. Off for a takeaway counter or a delivery-only kitchen, which seats nobody.

Switch: Settings > Restaurant > Dining Layout.

Where it appears

Restaurant shell: the Dining Layout editor, and the Tables / Captain screen the floor is worked from. The Add Dining Table quick action adds one as the floor grows.

Flow

flowchart LR
    A[Dining Layout: rooms · tables · seats] --> B[Tables / Captain board]
    B --> C[Tap a table · take the order]
    C --> D[(The table's open order)]
    D --> E[Move or merge tables]
    D --> F[Bill the table]

The layout is only a map of the floor; the order lives on the table until somebody bills it.

Screens

Dining Layout - rooms and their tables: name, seats and order on the board.
Tables / Captain - the floor by room, coloured free, occupied or billed; take or add to an order, move a table, merge two, bill from the row.

Switching off. The rooms and tables stay on file and every past order keeps the table it was taken on; only the layout editor goes away.
