  table.

System

• Setting up the service area and floor plan
• With the eHopper table management software,
  creating a floor plan based on the arrangement of
  your restaurant or other food service
  establishment is easy.
• First, you can create a table by putting in that
  tables information. This includes the number of
  seats, name, size, and basic shape, for easy
  recognition.
• These tables can then be resized and freely moved
  around the floor space of your virtual restaurant
  floor plan to match your actual restaurant floor.
• Tables can also be sorted into sections, where
  new rooms of tables can be added.

How to Take Orders With Your Table Management
System

• Using the eHopper table management system, its
  easy to identify which tables are available for
  new guests.
• Once a table has been selected, you can specify
  the number of guests at the table.
• Once a guest has decided on their order, the
  server can select the guest within the software
  and then select the guests food items. Items can
  also be assigned to the entire table.
• Orders can then be moved to a non-table order, to
  another table, or another guest.
• Once an order is complete, the server can send it
  to the kitchen staff, by printing it to the
  kitchen printer.

Paying for Orders With Table Management

• Table orders may be paid for in the same way you
  would using a traditional POS system without
  table management, through cash credit, debit,
  split payments, etc.
• With table management, you can also split costs
  for different items among guests, as well as
  break down receipts for each guest at the table.

12
Taking Non-Table Orders

• Non-table orders (Pickups, Deliveries, Drive
  Thrus, Quick Sales, etc) follow a similar
  process, though they are linked to a specific
  guest and not a table.
• You can easily view and manage all your open
  non-table orders, as well as start new ones.
