Configuring Enhanced Tables

  1. Select the revenue center, click Setup, and then click Tables.
  2. Select or enter information for the following fields.

    Table 39-7 Tables Fields

    Field Description

    Table Number (# symbol)

    Enter a unique table number for each table in the revenue center.

    Name

    Enter a unique table name for each table in the revenue center. The table name entered here is used to identify checks unless option 18 - Use table object number instead of name on transactions is enabled in the RVC Parameters module.

    The Name field is limited to 16 characters:

    • All numeric

    • All alpha

    • Alpha and then numeric

    Class

    Select the dining table class. The dining table class defines the type of table. All instances of this table number use the color, image, and cover configurations defined for the selected dining table class.

    Create only tables that are to be used for seating within a revenue center. Creating non-seatable tables (such as bar tabs) prevents the table suggestion system from properly distributing tables.

    Do not delete tables unless you no longer need them for reports. You can assign unused tables to a dining table class which indicates this status. For example, create a dining table class named NOT IN USE and assign unused tables to this class. Tables assigned to the NOT IN USE class cannot be used for seating, but remain in the Simphony TMS for reporting purposes.

    See Setting a Dining Table Class for more information.

    Table Attributes

    Click the Add link to associate one or more attributes to a table.

    When you set attributes, the application matches guest preferences with tables. For example, when a guest prefers window seats, tables associated with a window seating attribute move up in the table suggestion process.

    See Setting Enhanced Table Attributes for more information.

    Mergeable Tables

    Click the Add link to add the tables that workstation operators can select for merging with the selected table.

    Click the Delete link to remove tables from the mergeable table assignment.

    Select None in the record or leave the Mergeable Tables section empty to indicate that the selected table has no merge restrictions and it can be merged with any table.

  3. Click Save.
