How to Set Up the Table Map in FireMenu: Complete Guide

Hello! In this guide, we'll explain how to set up the table map in FireMenu, a key tool for waiters to view the restaurant's dining room layout and manage orders more efficiently through the POS. We'll show you step by step how to do it.

Why Do You Need a Table Map?

The table map allows waiters to visually view the entire restaurant layout, making it easier to assign orders and keep track of customers. To take full advantage of this feature, we recommend uploading your restaurant's floor plan as a background and using it to place interactive tables. If you don't have a floor plan ready, you can quickly create one using online tools, or even work without one.

Step-by-Step Configuration

1. Raise the Background of the Plane

   To begin, upload your establishment's floor plan as a background in FireMenu. This will allow you to place tables precisely based on the actual layout of the room. If you don't have a floor plan, you can skip this step and create the map manually.

   
   

2. Adding and Placing Tables

   Use the "Add Table" button to select the desired shape (round, square, rectangular) and place it on the floor plan based on the actual room layout. You can easily move tables by dragging them with your finger (if using a touch screen) or using the left mouse button.

   
   

3. Rename Tables

   To edit a table name, click the pencil icon in the top left corner of the table. This is useful for assigning specific numbers or names to make it easier for servers to manage.

   
   

4. QR Codes for Tables

   Each table on the map automatically receives a QR code that you can print and place on the restaurant's physical tables. Thanks to these QR codes, customers can scan them to view the digital menu, order, and pay independently, all from their own devices.

   Note: This QR code is different from the one found in the FireMenu general settings. While the general QR code allows you to place delivery orders, the table QR code allows customers to place orders directly with the restaurant. Make sure you use the appropriate code for each situation.

   
   

5. Delete Tables

   If you need to remove a table from the map, click the trash can icon in the top right corner of the table you want to delete.

   
   

6. Save Changes and Activate the Table Map

   Once you've placed all the tables in their correct positions, click "Save Changes" in the top right corner of the screen. Then, go to Settings and activate the table map so it's available on the POS. That's it! Your servers will now be able to view and manage the table map directly from the FireMenu system.

   
   

Benefits of the Interactive Table Map

• Clear view of the room: Facilitates order management and reduces the possibility of errors when identifying tables.

• Direct customer interaction: QR codes allow customers to view the menu, order, and pay without having to wait for a waiter, improving the service experience.

• Flexible management: You can change the layout of tables, rename them, or delete them at any time, adapting the map to the restaurant's daily needs.
