Table management
Table management is how a restaurant keeps track of its tables: which are free, which are occupied, and what each table has ordered and still owes.
In a small restaurant, table management might be a waiter's memory and a notebook. As the floor grows, staff need a shared view: a plan or grid of tables, each showing whether it has guests and an open check. Waiters add orders to the right table, the kitchen knows where each plate goes, and the cashier bills the right check.
Table management also covers the table list itself: names or numbers, how many seats each has, and which tables are in use. Some systems add reservations and waitlists; others focus on service once guests are seated.
Mistakes here cost money. A dish sent to the wrong table or an item missed on a bill is lost revenue, so the table record should stay in sync on every device.
Example
A family restaurant in Butwal has 14 tables over two floors. Each waiter carries a phone showing a grid of tables. When guests sit at table 9, the waiter opens it and adds their order, and the cashier downstairs sees the open check right away.
KalasOS specifics
In KalasOS you add tables per location under Tables, each with a label, a seat count and an optional name, or import them from a CSV file. The waiter screen shows a table grid with open checks. KalasOS has no reservations or waitlist, and tables have no QR codes for guests to order from their own phones.
