Table management

A floor plan your whole team actually runs service on

Design your room once, then seat, track and turn tables from a live plan that syncs to every device in under a second — no refresh button, no radio calls to the host stand.

Design the room

  • Visual floor designer: drag, rotate and resize with smart guides, snap-to-grid, multi-select, copy & paste and full undo/redo.
  • A preset palette — deuce, four top, six top, eight top, booth, bar seat — stamps capacity and shape; everything stays editable.
  • Walls, bar counters, plants and labels make the plan look like your room — or upload a floor-plan photo and let AI place the tables (Pro).
  • Multiple floors per venue with shift-specific hours, and one-click PNG export for briefings.

Run the service

  • Every table shows its live status, seated timer and projected free time ("42m · ~8:15") — what a host scans when quoting waits.
  • Tap a free table to seat a walk-in; drag a booking from the rail straight onto its table; combine tables when the party outgrows one.
  • Hold a table for 15 minutes while a party finishes a drink — it frees itself automatically, or release it early.
  • Timed blocks ("back at 7:30"), bussing flow, per-seat assignments and course tracking through your own sequence.
  • Heat view shades every table by turn progress — fresh green to overdue red — so a manager reads cover flow at a glance.
  • The reservation rail beside the canvas reads the clock: late parties get a red flag and a live late count, with VIP and allergy badges on every card.

Book the right tables first

  • Rank your best tables so auto-assignment books them up-front; keep high numbers free for walk-ins and overflow.
  • Flag walk-in-only tables the booking engine never gives away — your bar stays yours.
  • Soft assignments reflow automatically when the floor shifts; assign-and-lock pins the bookings that must not move.
  • Real-time sync over websockets to every phone, tablet and the kitchen display — one shared source of truth.

Common questions

How fast does the TableStack floor plan sync between devices?

Changes broadcast over websockets and reach every phone, tablet and kitchen display in under a second — no refresh button anywhere in the app.

Can TableStack combine tables for a large party?

Yes. A visit can span several tables, hosts can combine tables from the floor view, and the timeline understands multi-table parties — dragging one block swaps just that table and keeps the rest of the set.

Can TableStack hold a table without seating anyone?

Yes. A hold keeps the table for 15 minutes while a party finishes a drink, then releases itself automatically — or staff release it early.
