Experience availability on table combinations
By default, Tock automatically determines experience availability for each table combination based on the individual tables that make up the table combination.
Experiences
For experiences, a table combination only offers an experience if all the individual tables that make up the combination offer that same experience.
If a table combination is made up of 3 individual tables with the following experiences applied:
Then the resulting table combination has the following availability:
The orange experience is applied to the table combination when all three individual tables have the orange experience applied. Similarly, the aqua experience is applied to the table combination when all three individual tables have the aqua experience applied.
Experience availability for a table combination can also be set to something custom on the advanced grid. See Editing the Advanced Grid for Availability Planning for details.
Blocks
For experiences, a table combination has a block applied if any number of the individual tables that make up the combination have a block applied.
If a table combination is made up of 3 individual tables with the following blocks applied:
