Dining areas (also called zones) let you group your tables into sections such as Indoor, Patio, Terrace, or VIP. Once your areas are set up, every table belongs to one of them, which keeps your floor organized and makes it much faster for staff to find and select the right table when taking orders. You manage areas in the browser dashboard (web admin).

​
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.
If a staff member can’t see the Areas page or a button is missing, check that their role has the matching permission.

​
Where to find areas

Open Restaurant Settings and choose Areas (under the tables section of the sidebar). Here you’ll see every area in the current branch along with the number of tables in each one.

​
Creating an area

1

Open the Areas page

Go to Restaurant Settings > Areas.
2

Add a new area

Choose to add an area and enter an Area Name (for example, Indoor, Patio, or VIP). The name is required.
3

Save

Save the area. It will now appear in the list and become available when you create or edit tables.
Use names your staff will recognize at a glance. Short, distinct labels like “Patio” or “VIP” work better than long descriptions.

​
Editing an area

1

Find the area

On the Areas page, locate the area you want to change.
2

Edit the name

Open the area and update its Area Name.
3

Save your change

Save. The new name updates everywhere the area is shown, including the POS and table lists.

​
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

You can remove an area you no longer need from the Areas page.
Tables are assigned to areas. Before deleting an area, move or remove any tables that belong to it so you don’t end up with tables left without a proper section. Review the table count for the area first.
