The Dining Table Allocation Panel - Dining Table List View
The Dining Table List View displays the dining tables in the dining area in a list where each dining table row shows the status of the dining table (whether it is occupied, available, or reserved, or available with an upcoming reservation) at the start of the time range being viewed.
The typical length of the time range viewed is 180 minutes.
The system builds this data on run time by collecting information for each dining table at the start time of the time range viewed on
- whether the dining table is occupied and for how long.
- the availability of the dining table based on the dining area plan and layout.
- reservations (and walk-ins) that the dining table are allocated to during the time range.
You can filter the dining table list view by capacity, sections, and status.
Context sensitive actions on pressing a graphical view button
When you press a button on the Dining Table List view, an action may be triggered:
- if you are not in the process of allocating, pressing a graphical button usually displays a drop-down list with possible actions that are dependent on the status of the dining table at the time.
- If allocating, the system will try to allocate this dining table to the reservation at the time.
- If the dining table has a reservation at this time, the program will highlight the corresponding reservation in the walk-in/reservation list.
