The festive season is upon us, and as a restaurant owner or manager, you’re gearing up for the hustle and bustle that comes with it. At this time of year, efficient table management becomes more crucial than ever. Luckily, HorizonPOS has you covered with two indispensable features that can truly make a difference in streamlining your operations during the Christmas period.

Table linking: A game-changer for group bookings

Managing large groups can be a logistical challenge, especially when every table matters. HorizonPOS’s Table Linking feature is your holiday season hero. This functionality allows you to block off groups of tables under one order, ensuring that you can accommodate those festive gatherings seamlessly.

Picture this: A party of twelve walks in, and you want to ensure they have a memorable dining experience without causing chaos in your seating arrangement. With Table Linking, you can effortlessly designate a set of tables for this group. No more worries about scattered seating or mixing up orders; this feature ensures a smooth flow of service.

But it’s not just about grouping tables. HorizonPOS’s Table Linking also provides you with a detailed view of each zone and table availability. This means you can have a precise understanding of the status of your restaurant at any given moment. No more guessing games – just a clear, accurate picture that allows you to make informed decisions on the fly.

Table flashing: Keep the flow, eliminate bottlenecks

In the midst of the festive frenzy, it’s easy for tables to be overlooked or orders to be delayed. This is where HorizonPOS’s Table Flashing feature steps in as your silent but effective assistant. By enabling a timer on your table plan, you can make tables flash after a set length of inactivity.

Tables will also change colour based on the status of the meal, giving you an instant overview of the dining experience. Keep an eye on unsent items, track partial payments, and monitor printed bills – all at a glance. HorizonPOS ensures that you have complete control and visibility over every aspect of your restaurant’s operations.
