How to: Allocate Extra Tables, Change and Cancel Allocation

You can allocate extra tables, change a table allocation, and cancel a table allocation.

You can do this from the Dining Table Allocation panel on the POS:

• the Reservation/Waiting List grid - where change and cancellation applies to all allocated tables.
• the Timeline matrix - where change and cancellation applies to the selected table only .
