Once the "Table Manager" button is clicked and loaded for the first time the following page will appear:

In order to create a floorplan from this prompt you must replace the text in parenthesis "(New Floorplan Name)" with the unique name. We reccomend using a key feature of the dining area in your cafe/restaurant.

If the new floorplan name is the same as one that has already been created, you will receive an error "Floorplan already exists".

When you've created a floorplan, you will see the following image:

If you have already gone through this process, when opening the Table Manager program, this is the page you will be greeted with rather than the empty page from above.

Creating Tables:

From here, you can click on a floorplan and begin creating tables.

Upon clicking on a floorplan in the top bar, you will be met with the above image.

To add a table to this floorplan, you would click the "Add Table" Button in the bottom left of the orange square. this orange square is where any tables on the floorplan will be shown.

This prompt will ask you to enter the name of the new table, the colour of the table, and if no tables exist on the floorplan to add a server to the floor. Adding a server can be accomplished by clicking the "Add Server" button, this will then allow you to enter the name of the server you wish to add.

The above image illustrates this server creation part of the prompt.

Once all fields are completed, you can then click the "Submit" button located in the prompt.

On the right of the Order management widget is a server management widget, this box will display the name and corresponding colour of the servers on the floorplan so you can tell which people are managing which tables in which areas of the restaurant.
