Dine-In Table Orders for Restaurants

This module holds the floor plan and the order that sits on each table, from seating to the call for the bill. Captains and the cashier work from it.

The floor on one screen

Tables are laid out by floor, hall or garden, with the numbers your staff already call out.

Table state

Free, seated, order punched, bill printed or being cleared. The host can read the hall without walking it.

Covers and captain

The number of guests seated and the captain serving them are saved against the order, which later gives covers per session.

Running total

Every item punched adds to the table total, so a guest asking what the bill stands at gets an answer at the table.

How an order grows through a meal

A table rarely orders once. Starters go first, then breads and main course, then a sweet, and each round is punched onto the same table order. The kitchen receives each round as its own ticket with a serial, so a station knows what is new. An item punched by mistake can be cancelled before it is cooked, and after that it needs a manager to approve the cancellation.

Things that happen on a busy floor

Shifting a table

Guests move from a small table to a larger one. The order moves with them and the ticket history stays with it.

Merging and splitting

Two tables of the same party can be billed together, and one table can be split into separate bills for guests paying their own share.

Steward handover

When a shift changes, the open tables pass to the captain coming on duty without the order being retyped.

Complimentary and staff meals

A dish sent free, or a staff meal, is punched with a reason so it reaches the kitchen and the day figures separately.

What the restaurant decides

  • Whether captains punch on a phone, a tablet or a counter screen
  • Who may cancel a punched item and who approves it after cooking
  • Whether covers must be entered before an order can be punched
  • How service charge is treated on a dine-in bill
  • Which staff may send a complimentary dish
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a captain take orders on a phone?

Yes. The same table list and menu open on a tablet or phone on the floor, and the punched order reaches the kitchen directly.

What happens if the phone has no network?

Punching needs the connection. A counter screen on the shop network is kept as the fallback, and the wiring is checked during scoping.

Can one table be billed as two?

Yes. The items are divided between bills and each bill settles on its own payment mode.

Is the waiting list part of this module?

No. Bookings and the waiting list sit in their own module, which hands the guest to a table once one is free.
