Open a table and send the order to the kitchen

Quick answerIn MAJA POS tap Tables on Home, tap a free table, set the Guests and tap Open the order; add the dishes as in a sale and tap Send to the kitchen — if approval is on, tap Approve → kitchen to release the lines.
Where: MAJA POS → Home → TablesWho: Any cashier; cancelling a line already cooking needs a supervisor

Before you start

  • Tables must exist (Setup → Tables). Table orders live on the server, so the till must be online.

Steps

  1. On Home tap Tables. The floor shows every table with its state.
  2. Tap a table marked "free — tap to seat".
  3. Pick the number of Guests and tap Open the order.
  4. The sale screen opens for the table. Scan, search or tap the dishes; a dish with add-ons asks for them. New lines show "to send".
  5. Tap Send to the kitchen (the PAY button changes to this while there are new lines).
  6. If the store's approval setting holds the lines, tap Approve → kitchen in the bar above the buttons when ready.
  7. Tap Tables to go back to the floor.

What MAJA does for you

  • Prints the kitchen tickets on the station printers (when this till prints them) and shows them on the kitchen screen.
  • Takes the dishes' ingredients out of stock when the ticket is fired.
  • Colours the floor: red to approve, blue seated, amber in the kitchen, green ready, purple billed. A waiter call or a bill request shows on the table too.

Good to know

  • Tap a sent line to set the seat (S1–S6, for a bill by person), mark it Served, Not available, or Cancel it. Cancelling a line already cooking asks a supervisor and goes to waste.
  • A table can hold more than one bill after a split; tapping it lists the bills.
  • If tickets are waiting to print, the floor shows a "… ticket(s) to print" button.
  • Offline you see "No connection — the tables live on the server … the till needs the internet for this".
