The floor plan is not the background. It is the interface.
A floor plan is often a loose image. Then the service begins and the host has to keep track of which table is free, where a reservation is seated, and which order is already running.
Table layout builds the venue once and uses the same floor plan during service. The table is where reservation, order, and bill come together.
Record walls, zones, tables and dimensions.
The host sees free tables, reservations and running orders.
Move, merge and split without losing the order.
One plan, three tasks.
The floor plan does not change between setup and service. The same table has a position in the dining room, a status during service and a relationship with the bill.

Tables
The table list gives the same status in a compact form, without the floor plan.
Open · view · complete
A table is not just free or occupied.
The status comes from the operation. A reservation keeps a table free, an order opens it, the bill keeps it open and the payment closes it.
Free
The table is available for a walk-in or a reservation.
Reserved
The table is linked to a time and a reservation.
Opened
A bill is running; the staff sees what has been ordered.
Order in progress
Dishes and drinks are on their way to the kitchen or bar.
Bill
The order has been served; the payment has not yet been completed.
The table changes. The order remains.
A guest wants to go to the terrace, two parties merge tables or one bill is split. Those are normal movements in a service, not exceptions that may break the system.
The floor plan keeps the order, the bill and the table together. The kitchen and bar see the same order reference; service sees the new spot.
- T12 → T14
Move
The order and bill move along to the new table.
- T4 + T5
Merge
Two tables become one spot for a larger party; the bill remains one whole.
- T8 → 2×
Split
One bill is split without restarting production.
- T4 ↔ T5
Combine
Tables can be opened as a combination and then used separately again.
The table as a work unit.
Besides the floor plan, every restaurant has a table overview: which tables exist, how large they are and which zone they fall into. This is the list the host works from when the floor plan is too coarse.
Seating, zones and status are fixed per table. This way “table 12” remains the same table everywhere — in the floor plan, with the reservation and on the bill.
