Video tutorial (2:33): [Web POS: tables and kitchen orders](https://media.bakasir.com/bakasir-media/docs-video/web-pos-tables-and-kitchen/web-pos-tables-and-kitchen.mp4), subtitles: https://media.bakasir.com/bakasir-media/docs-video/web-pos-tables-and-kitchen/web-pos-tables-and-kitchen.en.vtt



The **Restaurant** style adds a floor plan, dine-in, take away and delivery orders, and a **Send to Kitchen** button. This tutorial sets it up once and then follows one table from seating to payment. It takes about 5 minutes.

## Before you start

- Your business type is restaurant or coffee shop, or you chose the **Restaurant** style with the **POS Style** button. See [Web POS overview](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/web-pos.md).
- The Owner turns on **Enable dine-in / take away** and **Enable table management** in **Settings → POS**. They save by themselves. Without the first one, the order type buttons and **Send to Kitchen** do not appear. Without the second one, there is no floor plan.
- A register is open. See [Open, close and review the register](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/web-pos/register.md).

## Steps




### Turn on dine-in and tables

As the Owner, open **Settings → POS** and switch on **Enable dine-in / take away** and **Enable table management**. Then open the POS. The Restaurant screen opens on the **Floor plan**.




### Add your tables

On the floor plan, click **Add table**. Enter the **Table name**, the **Floor** and the number of **Seats**, then click **Add**. Repeat for every table. Use the **All floors** filter to look at one floor at a time.




### Open a table

Click a free table. It becomes **Occupied** and the menu opens. The table name, floor and seats show at the top. If dine-in is on, choose **Dine-In**, **Take Away** or **Delivery** next to it.




### Add items and kitchen notes

Click a menu item. In **Item Modifiers**, type any **Sizes**, **Flavors** or **Add-ons** and add them with the plus button, then write a note in **Notes to Kitchen**. Click **Add to Cart**. Items with variants ask you to pick a variant first.




### Send to Kitchen

Click **Send to Kitchen**. The ticket lists the items under **Sent to kitchen**, and each line is marked **Sent**. The message **Sent to the kitchen** confirms it.




### Add more and send again

When the guests order more, add the items and click **Send to Kitchen** again. Items still waiting are grouped under **Not sent yet** and marked **New**. A line whose quantity changed is marked **Changed**.




### Take payment

Click **Pay**. To split the bill between guests, click **Split Bill** first (it appears when **Enable split bill** is on). After the payment is completed, the table goes back to **Available**.




## Moving around the floor plan

- **Table colors and status.** Each table is **Available**, **Occupied**, **Reserved** or **Billed**. The top of the plan shows how many tables are in use.
- **Table options.** The menu on a table has **Move**, which edits its name, floor, seats or status, and **Merge**, which puts the guests of one table onto another table and adds up the seats.
- **Active orders.** The list beside the plan shows orders that were held. Click one to continue it. The buttons under **New order** start a **Take Away** or **Delivery** order, or an order with **No table**.
- **Hold Order** parks the order on this device and returns you to the floor plan. See [Hold an order and come back to it](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/web-pos/hold-and-drafts.md).
- **Void** clears the order and frees the table. Nothing is sold and no stock is used.

## Where the kitchen sees the order

The Web POS creates a kitchen ticket when you click **Send to Kitchen**. It does not have a kitchen screen of its own. Today only the Desktop app shows the tickets, on its **Kitchen display**, and prints them on a kitchen printer. The kitchen therefore needs a Desktop terminal. See [Selling on Desktop](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/desktop/selling.md) and [Hardware](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/desktop/hardware.md).

## Tips

- **Bottom bar.** The row of buttons under the screen holds **Orders**, **Customers**, **Today's Sales**, **Promotions**, **Discount**, **Refund** and **Print Last**. **Refund** opens **Sales → Transactions**.
- **More menu.** On the ticket, the three dots offer **Print Quote**, **Open New Order** and **Recent Drafts**.
- **The order stays on this device.** The table status is shared, but the items of a held table order are saved in this browser. Finish a table on the same computer where you opened it.
