Tables

Tables and table sections are used so that you can divide your establishment into areas (e.g. dining room, terrace, bar) and assign tables accordingly. They also help staff with orientation — on larger tablets you have the option to display a table map, so you can visually distinguish different sections of your business.

Note: Before you begin, don’t forget to select the correct establishment in the top left corner. Example: Company XY owns a burger bar and a café. Establishment A is the burger bar and establishment B is the café. With Storyous you can manage multiple establishments — so make sure to switch between them correctly when configuring.

How to create a table section

1. Click on the Table Sections button in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Enter:
   • Section name (e.g. “Terrace”, “Bar”, “Dining Room”, or “Staff Tables”)
   • A color to visually distinguish this section
3. Click + Add — this creates the section.If you want to change the section later, use the pencil icon next to it.
4. To delete a section, click the trash icon.

Note: if you delete a section, the tables in it do not disappear — they become “unassigned” to any section but will still appear on the tablet.

How to create a table

In the upper right corner is a + Create Table button. Clicking it reveals two options:

A) Creating a single table

1. Enter the table code — this will display on 14" and 15" tablets.
2. Enter the table name — this shows on smaller 10" tablets and mobile waiter apps.
3. Select the section the table belongs to (or create a new one via the Table Sections button).
4. Choose the color for the table (or keep the section color).
5. Optionally, you can configure:
   • Pricing level for that table
   • A % discount for that table
6. After filling in the fields, click Add.

B) Creating a row of tables

1. Enter a table prefix (max 2 characters, e.g. “B”, “T”).
2. Enter the numeric range — from the first table number to the last (e.g. 1 to 10).
3. Apply the same settings as for a single table:
   • Section
   • Color
   • Pricing level
   • % discount

The system will automatically generate tables with codes based on the prefix and range (e.g. B1, B2, B3 … B10).

Edit, delete and bulk actions

• Edit a table: click the pencil icon next to that table, make the necessary changes, and confirm.
• Delete a table: click the trash icon next to the table.
• Bulk actions: select multiple tables at once (via checkboxes) and then use the “delete” option for all selected.

Moving and reordering

• Every section and table has six dots (on the left).
• Grab these dots and drag the object (section or table) to a new location — this changes its order.
• You can also move tables between sections by dragging them under a different section.
