Feature · Floor plan
A restaurant floor plan at the size of the actual room
Most table plans are a grid of squares that looks like your restaurant if you squint. This one is measured: a room nine metres by six is nine metres by six, and the table by the pillar sits where the pillar lets it.
The sample room on the home page is the same drawing code the host stand uses, running in your browser.
What you can put on it
Enough to recognise your own room at a glance from the door, and nothing you would have to maintain for the sake of it.
Four table shapes
Round, square, rectangular and booth, each with its own number of seats. The two-top by the window and the long rectangle for eight are different objects, not the same box with a different label.
The things tables bump into
A bar with its stools, pillars, windows, planters and plants, wall lamps and string lights. They are there so the plan matches what staff see — and so a table cannot be dropped on top of them.
Floors and chairs
A floor material and a chair style per room, so the terrace does not look like the dining room on a tablet at the door, and a new waiter can tell them apart on their first shift.
The plan says no before a Friday does
When you save a layout, it is checked against the room. These are refused, with the reason:
- Two tables overlapping, however slightly — the chairs would be in each other.
- A table inside the bar or wrapped around a pillar.
- Furniture outside the walls of the room it belongs to.
- Anything within 60 cm of the room's edge, the margin the plan keeps clear.
It is a rule about geometry, not taste: where you put the tables is your decision, as long as people can sit at them.
The dining room, the terrace and the bar, each drawn once
Several rooms in one venue
Draw every area you seat people in as its own room, from three metres across to sixty. Close one for a night — the terrace when it rains — without touching the others.
Bookings land on tables, not in a list
Every booking, whether it came from your online page, the phone or the door, sits on a table on this plan. That is how the system knows a party of five cannot go on a two-top.
Floor plan questions
Do I need the architect's drawings?
No. A tape measure is enough: the length and width of each room and where the big fixed things are. Rooms can be between 3 and 60 metres on each side.
We move tables around for big parties. Does the plan cope?
Yes — you name the combinations you are willing to make and what they seat, and the system uses them. The table combinations page explains how.
Is the plan a picture I upload?
No. It is drawn by the software from your measurements, which is why it can tell when two tables would not fit and why it looks sharp on any screen.
