Dining table layout or list

Dining table management in Hospitality offers several ways of viewing and working with dining tables. It all depends on what type of business you are running.

If you have big restaurants with hundreds of tables, you can let the POS terminal used by the host manager display the tables in a graphical layout while the tablet POS terminals used by the waiters display the tables by list. The waiters know their dining tables and can quickly seat guests and take orders just by entering the table number they want.
