This article outlines the "Graphical Table Booking" Sub-Function and how it is configured in BackOffice.

The "Graphical Table Booking" Sub-Function is designed to be used with Table Reservation System integration such as ResDiary. 

Depending on configuration, this Till Function button can be used to show which Tables in the Table Map are Seated Tables that have been Booked through the Booking System as well as Tables that have future Bookings.

This can also be configured to display for a Specific Service Period; i.e., only display which Tables on the Table Map have Bookings for Dinner Service.

Prerequisites 

  • To access Till Function Settings, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled 
    • Operator Maintenance 'General' Tab
      • System Setup: "Maintain Till Function Maps" Flag

Initial Set-Up

  • Click on the desired Button space and then configure the Button Settings:
    • In the Button Text field enter the text that will display on the Till Function Button on SmartPOS Workstation screens
    • Set the Function drop-down to 'Tables & Accounts'
    • Set the Sub-Function to 'Graphical Table Booking'


Function-Specific Configuration Options

  • Enter a corresponding number into the Item field where:
    • "0" will show all Tables Booked and Seated
    • "1" will only show Seated Tables; i.e., future Bookings will not be displayed
  • Enter a corresponding number into the SubItem field where:
    • "0" will show future Bookings for all Service Periods
    • "1" will only show future Bookings for the Service Period specified by entering the desired Service Period Name or ID into the Key field
    • In the Key field, the corresponding Service Period Name or ID must be entered if the SubItem field is being used to designate a Specific Service Period
  • These configuration options allow for setting up multiple of these Till Function buttons, depending on Organizational needs, potentially where each one could display Bookings for a different Service Period and an additional button could display only Seated Tables
