How do I add a tables, rooms and other types of location?
How do I set up tables, rooms, and other locations in Dines?
Setting up Tables (or any 'location' that a customer can order to such as a Bench, Hotel Room, Theatre Row, Chalet, etc...) is super easy.
Step-by-step: set up tables
Just head to 'Settings' from your Dashboard, click on the 'Table/Locations' tab
From there, you can start adding locations by first entering the name you want for the Slot, such as Table 10, Terrace 3, Room 14, etc., and then choose a position for it (Position '0' shows up first, and then is followed by 1, 2, 3 etc.)
You can always edit any Slots you make by clicking on the specific Slot from the green buttons below and editing them from there. You can also delete a Table from this menu.
We have a number of areas in our venue, which order should I put tables in?
Consider the layout of your venue including the number of tables in each area. Decide on names for locations e.g. Bar, Outdoors, Tables, etc. Once you have the names suitable for your venue, make a list of all tables that apply to each location. Arrange your tables into an order based on what would be the most logical for a customer - this could be in alphanumeric order or ordered by the most popular area first.
I have quite a few tables I need to add, is there a way to bulk create them?
