Creating areas (zones)

Areas split your venue into sections — Terrace, Dining room, Bar, Private room… They make the Tables page, POS, and reservations easier to navigate when you’re busy.

Step by step — add an area

1. Open Tables in the left menu
2. Look at the tabs along the top (each tab is an area)
3. Click + Add area (or Add zone)
4. Enter:
   • Name — what staff say out loud (“Terrace”, not “Zone A”)
   • Colour (optional) — helps on the floor plan
   • Description (optional) — “Outdoor, 20 seats, smoking allowed”
5. Save

The new tab appears. Click it before adding tables inside that area.

Examples by venue type

One area is fine for small venues — you don’t need many zones.

Edit or delete an area

• Rename — click the area tab menu → Edit
• Reorder tabs — drag tabs if your UI supports it, or use area settings
• Delete — only when no tables are left in that area

Why areas matter

Tips

💡 Match real-world language — if waiters say “garden”, name it Garden not “Outdoor section 2”
💡 Use colours consistently (blue = inside, green = terrace)
💡 Create areas before drawing the floor plan
