New Dashboard: Modify the Floor Plan

Updated

Maintaining an accurate floor plan is the foundation of a smooth service. Whether you are adding a new seasonal terrace or adjusting your dining room layout to accommodate more guests, the Libro floor plan editor gives you full control over your physical space to ensure your reservations flow seamlessly. In this article, you will learn how to add, edit, and delete tables on your floor plan. You will also learn how to block tables permanently or make them available for online reservations.

Note: If you would like to create an entirely new floor plan or resize an existing one, click here to learn how.

To modify your floor plan, be sure to be logged in as an admin user. 

Add a Table

To add a new table on your floor plan, follow the steps below:

  1. Access the floor plan view on your dashboard 
  2. Right-click on the floor plan to access the Edit Floor Plan mode
  3. Right-click on the background of the floor plan and then click on Add Table
  4. In the settings of the table on the left, you have the following fields:
    • Table number
    • Table shape (rectangle or round) 
    • Table dimensions (for recommended table dimensions based on capacity, see below.)
    • Minimum and maximum guests that the table can seat (note that the maximum number determines the number of chairs at the table) 
    • Rotate chairs to set their position around the table
    • Associate an experience (must be activated) 
    • Table availability for reservations taken internally
    • Table availability for reservations made online 
  5. Click Save
  6. At the bottom of the page, click Done to exit Edit Floor Plan mode.

Important: Within a single floor plan, table numbers must be unique. However, using the same table number across different floor plans will link those tables together as a single entity. Any reservation placed on a table in one floor plan will automatically sync to the same-numbered table in the other floor plan.

Tip: To make adding a table even easier, right-click on an existing table and then click on Duplicate Tables. 

Recommended table dimensions:

  • For tables of 1 person and bar seats, we recommend dimensions of 22 x 22 
  • For tables of 2 people, we recommend dimensions of 24 x 24
  • For tables of 3-4 people, we recommend dimensions of 24 x 36
  • For tables of 5-6 people, we recommend dimensions of 24 x 38

Note: We do not recommend creating tables smaller than 18 x 18, as this may affect the visibility of times on them.
