Building Floor Plans for Availability Planning

Use your Floor Plan to arrange your business’ rooms, sections, tables, and seating areas:

• Rooms - spaces to set up Floor Plan layouts. Multiple rooms allow you to switch between floor plans during service and can be helpful if you have a lot of tables. 
• Sections - help to organize your view on the Timeline. Having multiple sections within the same room allows you to group tables together visually and take batch actions such as adding or removing blocks. 
• Tables - represent the flexible inventory and individual capacities in which reservations can be booked.
