Creating a Restaurant Map

Overview

Restaurant Maps can be created for both the PAD and for Tabit Guest. In this article we will touch on how to build a new Map and how to duplicate an existing Map according to what is needed.

How to Build a New Map

Follow the steps below to learn how to create a restaurant Map:

1. In Tabit Office, go to Back Office > Restaurant Map and select the + icon to add a new Map

   

2. Enter the name of the Map and define whether it is a PAD Map or Tabit Guest Map and then select Save

   • If your map is a Tabit Guest Map, select a Map size

     

3. Select Save

   

4. Now, build your map. Create a background using shapes, images, and icons

5. Add Tables to the Map

   • Table Number: Enter in a numeric table number

   • Seats: Enter in the number of people who can sit at the table (These Seats are what Tabit Guest uses to suggest Tables in addition to Areas and Preferences)
     Put the larger number if a table can seat a range of people

   • Attached Drawer: Select from available Cash Drawer

   • Table Size: Determines the size of the table on the PAD

     

6. Advance Settings:

   • Chair Numbering: Seat numbering system used at the Site

   • Name: Displayed next to the table number in each order. Appears on the kitchen tickets and reports (acc. configuration). Can be used for multiple tables to be grouped together in reports

   • Tags: Maps the restaurant activity (e.g., sales, tips, cancellations, discounts) to be reflected in the reports

   • Segments: A permanent Tag that triggers the promotion associated with each order

   • Manager Only: If this is "on" only a Manager will be able to access this table

     

7. After adding the appropriate tables to the Map, use the editing tools to add a background image and align tables to desired configuration

8. Select Save

   

   Now you have a new Map that will appear on the PAD/in Tabit Guest

How to Duplicate an Existing Map

Duplicating a Map and changing as needed is recommended when working with Special Days in Tabit Guest

Follow the steps below to learn how to duplicate an existing Map:

1. In Tabit Office, go to Back Office > Restaurant Map and select an existing Map from the dropdown

   If you're creating a new Map for Tabit Guest please ensure you duplicate the Tabit Guest Map and not a PAD Map

   

2. Select the Copy Map icon

   

3. Give the Map a name and select Save

   

4. Make all necessary changes to the Map and then select Save
