In this article, you’ll learn how to manage tables in your restaurant. You can link tables to combine them or separate them so maximize the space and seats at your restaurant.

Split Table

The Split Table function allows you to divide a table into sections, so you can can seat different party groups into a single table. Each section then acts as a separate table with their own designated table number. It’s important to note that once a table is split, their orders and bills are separated.

Link Table

The Link Table function allows you to combine tables together. Combined tables are helpful when having to accommodate and seat large party groups who would otherwise not fit into a standard-sized table.

Combine and separate tables

Enable Table Sharing

Before you can split tables, you must turn on Table Sharing under Dine-In settings.

To enable Table Sharing, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the Eats365 POS.

3. Under Settings, tap Dine-In, then tap Workflow Settings.
4. Under Table Sharing, tap Allow Table Sharing .

Create a Split Table

To split tables, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the Eats365 POS.
2. At the top left, tap Dine-In to get to the Dine-In screen. 
   Tip: You can set the Dine-In screen as the default view from the General Preferences settings, so you won’t need to tap Dine-In every time you log in.
3. At the top of the Dine-In screen, tap Table .
4. Choose a Party Size, then tap Confirm.
5. Select any currently occupied table, then choose a split table number. This process designates a new table number for the split table. The table’s status changes into a two-toned yellow color to indicate that it’s now split.
   Tip: To split tables even before seating customers, hold your finger down on any empty table, then choose Split Table.
