Why areas matter
Setting up clear areas pays off across the whole system:- Organization. Tables are grouped by area everywhere they appear, so a busy floor stays easy to scan.
- Faster POS table selection. When staff create a dine-in order, tables are shown grouped by area, making the right table quick to find.
- Cleaner reporting and views. Tables and QR codes can be filtered by area, helping you focus on one section at a time.
- Staff workflow. Areas give you a natural way to think about who covers which section of the room.
Each area belongs to a branch. If you run more than one branch, set up areas separately for each one and switch to the correct active branch before making changes.
Permissions
Access to areas is controlled by permissions assigned to staff roles:- Show Area — required to open and view the Areas page.
- Create Area — required to add a new area.
- Update Area — required to edit an existing area’s name.
- Delete Area — required to remove an area.

Viewing table count per area
The Areas page shows a table count for each area. This number is calculated automatically from the tables currently assigned to that area, so it always reflects your real floor. Use it to spot empty areas or to confirm tables landed in the right section after setup.Deleting an area
