Vendtill Back Office


Vendtill POS offers a powerful Graphical Table Layout feature that allows restaurants and cafes to manage floor plans visually. This guide walks you through activation, customization, and adding tables to receipts.

Special Notes

  • This feature is currently available on Android and Web POS, operates in landscape mode, and requires an internet connection.
  • You cannot use standard and graphical layouts simultaneously. If you switch layouts with QR ordering activated, reselect tables and regenerate QR codes.
  • For optimal experience, use screens 10 inches or larger.
  • The term “Reservation / Table Room” in older versions is now called “Service Area”.
