Joining Dining Tables

You can seat guests at more than one dining table by joining dining tables together to form a dining table group.

You can join dining tables using the following methods:

How joined dining tables work:

  • One dining table in the group acts as the master table, displaying the table number and/or description. Other tables in the group are linked to the master table (or to other joined tables), share the master table’s color, and only show their own description.
  • The master table holds all seating and orders for the group. If you join a table that already has seating or an order to another table, the system transfers that seating or order to the master table.
  • The seat capacity of the master table is the total seat capacity of the group.
  • When a joined dining table group becomes free (after guests have paid and their order has been served), the system automatically separates the tables in the group.
  • If you move the master table, all joined tables move with it.
  • Tables remain joined across all dining area layouts.
  • When seating guests from the Dining Allocation panel with more than one dining table allocated, the system can automatically join those tables.
