Tables link QR codes to specific seating positions so that dine-in orders and Pay at Table payments are routed to the correct location. Each table has a number, belongs to an area, and has its own QR code.

How Tables Work

  1. You create tables in the dashboard and organise them into areas
  2. Each table gets a QR code that encodes the table number
  3. Customer scans the QR and their order is automatically tagged with that table
  4. Kitchen and staff see the table number on incoming orders and bills
Tables are used by both Order & Pay (customers browse the menu and place orders) and Pay at Table (customers view and settle an existing POS bill).

Setting Up Tables

Creating Tables

  1. Go to StoresStore SettingsTables
  2. Click Add Area to create a seating zone (e.g. “Main Floor”, “Terrace”, “Bar”)
  3. Inside the area, click Add Table
  4. Enter the table number and repeat for each table
  5. Click Save
Use logical numbering that matches the physical labels on your tables. This makes it easier for staff to identify where orders should go.

Editing Tables

  1. Go to StoresStore SettingsTables
  2. Click the table you want to change
  3. Update the table number
  4. Click Save

Deactivating or Removing Tables

  1. Go to StoresStore SettingsTables
  2. Click the delete icon next to the table you want to remove
  3. Confirm the deletion
Deactivating or snoozing a table does not remove it from a generic table-selector QR. Customers can still select it, but they will see that the table is not accepting orders.To hide the table from the selector entirely, delete it. Deleting invalidates any printed QR code for that table, so remove or replace the physical code. Alternatively, use table-specific QR codes, which take customers directly to a pre-selected table instead of showing the generic selector.

Areas

Areas group tables into logical zones. They serve two purposes:
  • Organisation — keep your table list manageable across different sections of the venue
  • Category restrictions — show different menu categories depending on where the customer is seated (e.g. drinks-only at the bar)
See Table Area Category Restrictions for details on restricting menu categories by area.

QR Codes for Tables

Each table has a unique QR code that links directly to that table’s ordering page. When a customer scans it, their session is automatically associated with the correct table number.

Downloading Table QR Codes

  1. Go to the QR Codes section in your dashboard
  2. Download individual table QR codes or all at once
  3. Print and place them on the corresponding tables
For general QR code guidance (store-level codes, printing tips, branded designs), see QR Codes.
Always test each QR code after placing it on a table. Scan with a phone to confirm it links to the correct table number.

Table Number Redirects

If you need to redirect a QR code from one table number to another (e.g. table 23 should now point to table 25), this currently requires a backend change.
Table number redirects cannot be done from the dashboard. Contact storekit support to set up a redirect. Provide the venue name, the current table number on the QR code, and the table number you want it to point to.
This is useful when:
  • You renumber physical tables but don’t want to reprint QR codes
  • You merge or rearrange seating areas
  • A QR code is permanently affixed (e.g. engraved or embedded in the table)

Tips

  • Match physical and digital — keep table numbers in the dashboard consistent with physical table markers
  • Spare QR codes — print a few extras for each table in case of damage
  • Staff training — ensure staff know which area each table belongs to, especially when category restrictions are active
  • Test after changes — whenever you add, edit, or remove tables, scan the QR codes to verify everything works
