Android: Table Layout for Android

Introduction

We've launched our Table Layout feature for the Android platform! 

To allow our Android users to place orders by table number and the number of consumers per table by using Table Layout, as well as customize the Table Layout for your Registers, based on the actual restaurant floor plans.

This feature is rolled out in 2 phases. The current Phase 1 is now live, with Phase 2 coming soon!

Here's a list of available sub-functions for Table Layout:

i. Create Multiple Floor/Section Layouts
ii. Customize Layout Name
iii. Adjust Table Size & Table Position within Floor Layout
iv. Duplicate Table Shape
v. Rename Table
vi. Set Number of Pax for Table
vii. Delete Table
viii. Undo/Redo Action
ix. Tracking Time of Open Orders for Table
x. Move Consumers from Table to Table
