How Tables Work
- You create tables in the dashboard and organise them into areas
- Each table gets a QR code that encodes the table number
- Customer scans the QR and their order is automatically tagged with that table
- Kitchen and staff see the table number on incoming orders and bills
Setting Up Tables
Creating Tables
- Go to Stores → Store Settings → Tables
- Click Add Area to create a seating zone (e.g. “Main Floor”, “Terrace”, “Bar”)
- Inside the area, click Add Table
- Enter the table number and repeat for each table
- Click Save
Editing Tables
- Go to Stores → Store Settings → Tables
- Click the table you want to change
- Update the table number
- Click Save
Deactivating or Removing Tables
- Go to Stores → Store Settings → Tables
- Click the delete icon next to the table you want to remove
- Confirm the deletion
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)
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
- Go to the QR Codes section in your dashboard
- Download individual table QR codes or all at once
- Print and place them on the corresponding tables
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.
- 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
