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.
