Use Tables for dine-in service so the party, service session, POS order, payment balance, and floor state remain connected.
Seat and serve a table
- Open Tables and select an available table.
- Confirm the party size and any linked reservation or walk-in.
- Start or open the table order, add items and modifiers, and send production items to KDS.
- Return to the same table to add rounds or review the remaining balance.
Split a check
Use Split Checks when the guests need separate payment balances. The split workspace can allocate by seat, item, cover, or amount. Before payment, review every resulting check for its items, tax, service charge, discounts, and balance.
Splitting a check does not change the physical floor layout.
Move, combine, or split physical tables
These actions change table service placement:
- Move Table transfers a one-table service to an available table while preserving its service session and POS order.
- Combine Tables joins physical tables for one party. Uncombine removes an eligible table from the group.
- Split Table uses an occupied source and an empty target to create matching table halves. Existing orders stay with the source table.
- Restore Split rejoins matching halves created by the table split operation.
A table that still owns a POS order cannot be removed from a combined group. Verify the source, target, active order, and party before confirming any floor action.
Close and release
Collect the full remaining balance before closing the order. A table with an active check, unpaid balance, or unresolved service state should not be released. After payment and service are complete, use the supported release action so the floor plan becomes available again.
If a paid table still appears occupied, refresh Tables and inspect the linked order before starting another check. Do not duplicate an order to force a visual state change.
Free an empty table or park an unpaid ticket
An active table session with no order lines can use the supported close or release action without payment. A cancelled order can also be closed when the remaining table session is eligible.
When a non-cancelled table order still has an open payable check and positive balance, Open ticket (pay later) frees the table and preserves the order for settlement from Sell or open orders. This is not payment, cancellation, or deletion.
If a fully paid table remains occupied, refresh the table view, confirm every linked check is settled, then use the available close or release action. Do not park a paid ticket or create another check to clear the seat.
