Default Table View

Start From Table View Feature in Vendtill POS

Step-by-step guide

The "Start From Table View " feature in Vendtill POS allows users to set a predefined table layout as the main interface for the POS system. This layout will be the default view before starting sales, enabling users / cashiers to select a table and begin billing directly from the table layout screen.

Once a receipt is completed or an open bill is saved, the system will return to the table layout view. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses like restaurants, bars, and pubs where operations heavily depend on table management. 

Example

Imagine a busy restaurant where waitstaff need to quickly assign orders to specific tables. By using the "Default Table View" feature, the restaurant can streamline the ordering process. When a customer is seated, the cashier can easily select the corresponding table from the main interface, take the order, and upon completing the bill, immediately return to the table layout to assist the next customer. This ensures a smooth and efficient workflow, reducing wait times and improving customer service. 

Advantages

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Cashiers can quickly navigate to the table layout, minimizing the steps needed to start a sale and process orders.
  • Improved Organization: Clearly visualizing table assignments helps staff manage seating arrangements and monitor table statuses.
  • Ideal for Busy Environments: Especially useful for high-traffic establishments like restaurants, bars, and pubs where quick table turnover is essential.
