The following Xenial Cloud POS update provides a new Table Map view for Suite Catering and TSR environments with features that differ from Wait List.

  • Create an order for a suite.

  • Create an order for another destination.

  • Perform order operations: Print All, Add Tip, and Resume.

  • View order count for a suite.

User Interface Behavior

The following provides an overview of the table map user interface at the POS. The following is applicable to both TSR and QSR environments.

  • For SC Floor Plans, a "Suite View" label is displayed in the screen header, on the System Navigation menu, and on the buttons used to switch between screens.

  • From the top panel, the user selects a room (suite class) to view its respective layout.

  • Orders are assigned to specific tables (suites) within a room (suite class). Select a table (suite) to assign the table to an existing or new order.

  • The default destination configured for the table map is assigned to a new order. Select Change Destination to assign a different destination.

  • Tables (suites) with active orders are highlighted. A "star" icon is displayed if at least one order belongs to the current user.

  • The initials of order owners (other than the current user) are displayed on tables (suites) as "pills".

  • A panel for the currently selected table (suite) is displayed on the right when a table (suite) with assigned orders is selected.

    • The following information is provided for an order selected from the panel: Customer Name, Order Owner, Order Total, Order Status.

    • Select a Saved/Suspended/Pending order to resume order operations in Order Entry.

    • Select "Create New Order" from the panel to start a new order.

    • A "Print All Checks" button is available when a printer is configured for the terminal.

  • Select a different table (suite) from the map to close the current panel and open a new panel for the selected table (suite).

Suite Catering Floor Plan Creation

Xenial Cloud POS now supports Suite Catering floor plans, which reference "suites" instead of "tables", and "suite classes" instead of "rooms". The floor plan uses a new rectangle shape (without seat icons) to identify "suites" without seat information.

Once the SC service is enabled for a company, a seeded SC Floor Plan Table Map object is automatically created (if it doesn't already exist). SC Floor Plans can also be created / updated via API.

Creating a SC Floor Plan in Data Management is not currently supported. Using the Table Maps editor in Data Management, only the Name, and Default Destination can be updated for an existing SC Floor Plan.

New Table Map Attributes

This update adds the following attributes to the Data Management Table Map object. These attributes identify a table map as a Suite Catering (SC) floor plan and define how order information is referenced and displayed on the UI.

Attribute

Description

Suite Class ID
