Graphical Table Booking SmartPOS Workflows

  • Depending on how your system is configured, there may be one (1) or multiple Till Function Buttons that can be used to retrieve SevenRooms reservations
  • Many different workflows can occur when using this Till Function, depending on the situation
    • Due to this, not all possible workflows can be covered in this article. However, all Graphical Table Booking List options will be covered, and basic workflows will be demonstrated 
  1.  Begin by logging into SmartPOS and navigating to the panel where the Till Function button is located, then click on the Graphical Table Booking function button
  2. The configured Table Map will open, and several workflows can begin from the Graphical Table Map, including clicking on a Booked Table in the Map or using one of the following button options on the bottom of the screen:
    • Refresh Map, which will manually refresh the Table Map with updated data from SevenRooms
    • Table List will be the same as using the Table Open Booking List function and will display a List of SevenRooms Bookings
    • Exit - Clicking on Exit will display the booking list from SevenRooms


Opening a Booking

  • To open a Booking from the Booking Table Map, complete the following steps:
    1. Tap on the desired Table from the Table Map
    2. If the Table has a booking(s) available, a window will open to allow Operators to select from the available bookings; highlight the desired Booking and click the Select button.
    3. The Table will now open and the Account linked to the SevenRooms Booking will be attached to the Transaction. 
      • Operators can proceed through normal Transaction workflows of adding Products, applying Discounts, performing other Functions, etc.
  • From v4.7.4.0, if there is a seated reservation for the chosen table number, Step 2 will be skipped, and the table will open automatically into the seated reservation.




Changes to Prepayments with Handling Fees

  • Previously, when a booking included a prepayment with a handling fee, the fee was included within the usable balance imported into SmartPOS. However, the venue lost out on that revenue, which could have been used against the balance owed. 

  • From v4.7.4.0, the handling fee is no longer included in the usable balance. 
  • If a venue needs to reference the handling fee in a transaction, they can access it through the TransCard Table under ExtRef_1.
    • This can also be used within our Backoffice reporting views.
