Overview
Seating design is used where sales are tied to tables, service zones, or other physical positions rather than only walk-up counter activity.
Where To Find It
Path: POS > Seating Designer
Use the seating designer tools when the business manages tables, sections, floors, or customer seating positions through POS.
How It Works
The seating designer lets the business define floors or sections and arrange the visual layout staff will use when finding or serving a table.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Floor or section names | Groups the layout into named areas such as floors, halls, or service zones. | Use it where the business needs a clear location structure. |
| Seating layout | Shows the visual arrangement of tables or service positions. | Use it to match the real-world room layout as closely as practical. |
| Seat or table details | Holds the individual setup for each visible service position. | Use it when adjusting names, positions, or operational details for a table. |
Recommended Workflow
- List the real service areas the business uses, such as floors or rooms.
- Create the floor or section names first.
- Arrange the visible seating or table positions to match the physical space.
- Test the layout with the staff who will actually use it and refine it where navigation feels awkward.
Best Practice
- Keep the on-screen layout close to the real room layout so new staff can follow it easily.
- Use simple table names that match printed or spoken service language.
- Review the designer after any physical change to the service area.
