Creating Enhanced Dining Tables

You can use all functions of the Simphony Table Management System (TMS) using enhanced dining tables. You cannot use legacy standard tables with TMS. Enhanced dining tables show overlays on the outer edges of the table that indicate status, coursing, and alerts.

1. In the EMC, select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Configuration and Page Design.
2. Double-click the Front of House page on which to define enhanced dining tables.
3. On the Edit tab, select the page area on which to place the enhanced dining tables.
4. Select Other..., Table Management, and Dining Table (Enhanced).
5. Move and adjust the table size on the page. Leave space between tables on the page layout to ensure visibility of indicators and table state. You can increase the grid configuration on the page from 24 (default) to 48 using the Change Grid Size link.
6. Set the unique properties of the enhanced dining table:
   1. Enter the table number in the Table # field.

      This must match the Table Number set in the Tables module. See Configuring Enhanced Dining Tables for more information.

   2. In the Next Page/Panel section, select the black Panel arrow, and then select the host page from the list.
   3. (Optional) Enter a table number in the Legend field. If the Legend is blank, the table number or name shown on the host page uses the table number or name defined for the Table # field. If you want to use a different name or number for the table, you can enter an override value in the Legend field.
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 to create additional enhanced dining tables.
8. Click Save.
