Menu-to-Table Assignment

Overview

The Menu-to-Table Assignment Module allows administrators to control which menu items are visible for specific tables.

Using this feature, each menu item can be assigned to:

• A single table

• Multiple tables

• Or all tables (if configured)

⚠ Important:
This feature works only when customers access the ordering system through the table-specific QR code.

When a customer scans a table QR code, the system identifies the table automatically and displays only the menu items assigned to that table.

Purpose

In many restaurants, different tables may require different menu availability due to:

• Bar-only sections

• VIP lounge access

• Outdoor seating limitations

• Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner zones

• Special event tables

• Kitchen availability

The Menu-to-Table Assignment provides fine-grained control over menu visibility.

QR- Based Functionality

This feature is specifically designed for QR Code Ordering Systems.

How It Works:

1. Each table has a unique QR code.

2. Customer scans the QR code.

3. System automatically detects:

   • Table ID

4. Menu is filtered based on:

   • Assigned menu items for that table.

5. Customer sees only the allowed items.

If a user accesses the system without scanning a QR code (e.g., direct URL access), this table-based filtering will not apply.
