Enhance your guests’ dining experience by creating an efficient table setup and making sure that your loyal customers always get their favorite table. For making informed decisions when it comes to optimizing your table layout, you can generate data on your resOS profile with tables reports.
In order for the system to generate data about your tables, you first have to make sure that you enabled Tables in your settings and that you’ve been using table management for a while. This can be activated by going to Menu–> Settings & add-ons–> General–> Tables. Then, you can access the tables reports by going to Menu–> Reports–>Tables.
If you have any questions about setting up your tables, you can read more about table management here. 🪑
