    2 min read#48

    The floor plan builder lets you create a visual map of your restaurant. Find it under Admin → Bord → Bordskarta (Tables → Floor plan).

    Enable the floor plan:

    1. Go to Admin → Bord → Bordskarta (Tables → Floor plan)
    2. Enable Grafisk bordskarta (Graphical floor plan)
    3. The floor plan canvas appears

    Place tables:

    1. Choose a section or create one with + Sektion.
    2. The left panel contains new table shapes and unplaced tables. Drag an existing table onto the map, or drag out a shape to create one.
    3. Place it where it physically stands. Check its number and seats in the properties panel.

    Table shapes:

    • Round – for round tables (default)
    • Rectangular – for long tables/benches
    • Change shape by clicking the table and selecting in the menu

    Resize:

    • Click on a table on the map
    • Drag the corners/edges to resize
    • Size can be adjusted to match the number of seats

    Move tables:

    • Drag the table to a new position
    • Position is saved automatically

    Fullscreen mode:

    • Click the fullscreen icon to see the entire floor plan
    • Perfect for larger restaurants

    Sections in the floor plan:

    • Switch sections using the section buttons above the map to build each part separately
    • E.g. Dining room, Patio, Bar

    How the floor plan appears in the POS:

    • Staff sees the visual map instead of a list
    • Colours show tab status; reservations are also shown in the table overview
    • Click on a table to open its order

    Tips:

    • Draw the floor plan to match the physical layout – it makes it intuitive for staff
    • Use rectangular tables for bench groups
    • Test in fullscreen to see the complete picture

    This feature is part of Vendion POS.
