Run the whole dining room from one live floor.

Draw the room the team actually works

Create a table with its number or name, seat capacity, and circle, square, or rectangle shape. Edit mode lets an authorized operator drag each table to a stored grid position, so the digital floor can reflect the practical layout instead of forcing every restaurant into the same list.

Read service state without walking the room

Available, occupied, reserved, and cleaning are distinct live states. The floor can show party size, guest name, how long an occupied table has been seated, counts by state, and average seated time. A table marked reserved is a floor status; LiftedPOS does not represent it as a full online reservation book.

Move a guest from the waitlist to a real table

The waitlist can retain guest name, party size, phone, notes, and a quoted wait while the team sees queue size, average wait, seated guests, and no-shows. When a table opens, staff can select that actual table and seat the waiting party in one guarded operation. SMS notification depends on a configured messaging service and is not guaranteed by the floor-plan feature alone.

Open the table's order in context

An occupied table can open its register order with the table already selected. Staff can tag items by seat and course, add modifiers and kitchen notes, and fire the whole order or a selected course to the kitchen. The table, ticket, and kitchen display keep the same operational thread.

Split by seat without losing the rest of the check

Seat-tagged items can be paid as an independent split check. Earlier seat payments remain scoped to their items and do not intentionally close the whole table; the final seat can complete the table closeout. Operators should verify the exact multi-terminal procedure because LiftedPOS does not guarantee multi-terminal split-check closeout.

Protect active checks through bussing and closeout

Table actions are permission-gated. Clearing a table with an active party or linked sale requires an explicit confirmation and the server refuses an unconfirmed clear. Staff can move the table into cleaning, then return it to available after bussing without silently discarding a live check.

Know the line between table management and reservations

LiftedPOS does not currently advertise online reservation booking, guest self-booking, marketplace discovery, automatic table optimization, table merge or automatic order transfer, pager hardware, guaranteed SMS, or guaranteed multi-terminal split-check closeout. Restaurants that require those workflows should verify the exact operating process and integration scope before rollout.

Move from the feature to the operation

LiftedPOS is designed so this capability does not sit alone. It shares customer, employee, product, location, transaction, and reporting context with the rest of the system. That is the difference between checking a feature box and removing a handoff from the day.
