Set up tables and restaurant settings
Quick answerOn the till open Setup → Tables (restaurant & café) → Add a table, type the Name, Zone and Seats and tap Save; then set how kitchen orders and guest orders are approved under Setup → Store & receipt and click Save store.
Before you start
- Tables live on the server, so this needs the internet.
Steps — tables
- Sign in as a manager and open Setup (or tap Tables at the top of the floor screen).
- In Tables (restaurant & café), click Add a table.
- Type the Name (T1, Window 3, Terrace 2), the Zone (Inside, Terrace, Bar) and the number of Seats.
- Tap Save. Repeat for every table.
- To change a table later, tap Edit; untick Active (on the floor) to hide it.
Steps — restaurant settings
- In the Store & receipt card of Setup, choose Kitchen orders — approval before the kitchen: - None — every order goes to the kitchen at once - Table orders only — a waiter's table order waits for the till's approval - Every order waits for the till's approval
- Choose Ordering from the table — the QR menu and the table tablet (see the table QR article).
- Tick Café counter if counter sales with a dish should get a number and a kitchen ticket when paid.
- Set any service charge, government fee or card tips under Charges on the bill.
- Click Save store.
What MAJA does for you
- Every till, the waiters' phones (/pos/waiter) and the kitchen screen (/pos/kitchen) read the same floor.
- With zones, the floor screen shows a button per zone and All.
Good to know
- The floor screen says "No tables yet — a manager adds them in Setup → Tables." until the first table is saved.
- A table with no name is refused: "The table needs a name".
- Each table has a QR button in the same list for guest ordering.
