Table reservations and the floor map: organising your restaurant at peak time
In a table-service restaurant chaos starts when you do not know which table is reserved, which is free and which is waiting for the bill. A good system shows the floor as a live map and ties each order to its table.
What you should see on the map
Three pieces of information are enough to organise the floor:
- Each table's status: free, occupied, reserved, or waiting for the bill.
- Upcoming reservations with time and party size so a table is not given away twice.
- Each table's orders and bill splitting between guests at payment.
The waiter and the cashier
In many restaurants the waiter takes the order but does not take money. It helps to give the waiter a dedicated account with a tables-only screen, so they see neither the cashier nor the reports. RAWA has waiter accounts with a tables screen, a floor map with reservations, bill splitting, and open tables shown on all devices.
