How to: Configure Information Shown in Dining Table Overviews

On the POS, dining tables can be shown as graphical buttons, a button grid, or a list.For each dining area, you control what appears on each dining table by selecting overview handlers.These handlers determine:

  • Which dining table state data is retrieved.
  • Which details are displayed for each table in the overview.

Note: To further customize what is shown, you can extend these handlers. Events are not included.

Note: The more details included in an overview, the longer data retrieval takes.If your dining area has many dining tables, avoid using Full Info handlers unless needed.
