Summary

The Location Map is located within the Location Manager.

Note

The Location Manager has many functions to help a site manage their locations, server assignments, checks, layouts, etc. These functions are detailed on other pages in this section. This page only describes the location map. 

Configuration

Locations are created in ECM. (See Edit an Area - Locations.)

The locations that appear on the location map are configured in ECM. 

  • Path: Sites and Groups > select a site > edit a site > select an area > click Locations tab
  • Click Add Location (s)

  • Locations are added to the location map by tapping Manager then Location Map. (See Locations.) 
  • The table number (alphanumeric) appears on the location map 

 

Operation 

Location view

  • The map displays the available locations at the site and the layout of those locations within the physical space of the restaurant or site. 
  • Location icons show the table number entered for the location in the Area settings. (See Locations (Edit an Area).) 
  • Locations can be moved on the map and placed where needed.
  • Various types of locations (4-top, booth, etc.) can be created to better represent the seating. (See Locations.)

List view

  • Another way to view and select locations is via a numbered list of locations. To view this list, tap Keypad on the location map. (See Keypad.)

Training Mode

  • A location or locations can be designated For Training Only in the Locations settings. (See Training Mode.)
  • A user or users can be placed in Training Mode, limiting access to training locations only. 
  • When a user in training mode logs in, the user's access is limited to only those locations marked for training; all other locations are masked.
    • Other users can access all locations not set for training. 

Visual cues

Visual cues indicate helpful information about a location.

  • When Owner is tapped at bottom, the names of the owners of each session are shown on the location
  • A flashing gold color indicates an item has been ordered but has not been sent to the kitchen
  • Yellow indicates an order has been taken and sent to the kitchen

    • Tap to detach all devices from all locations on the location map 

Layouts 

A location map may use one or more layouts (e.g., bar, patio, dining room, banquet room, etc.) for their site, especially if the physical site is large. 

Single layout

When there is only one layout for a site, the location map does not display the layouts icon in the top bar:

Multiple layouts 

If multiple layouts are available, the layouts icon will be shown in the top bar. 

  • Tap the layouts icon to display a list of layouts available
