Article Summary: This tutorial explains how to upload and set up your virtual table plan in your Reservit Restaurant interface. You will learn how to upload the image of your dining room, then add, size and position your tables on it. This plan reproduces the layout of your restaurant to help your team assign tables every day. It is for your team only: it does not appear on your online booking pages.
The 4 key steps to create and set up your table plan:
-
Open the setup page: Go to Managing my activity > Table Layout Setup, then choose the room to set up under My Rooms.
-
Upload the background: In the MY PLAN EDITOR window, upload the image of your floor plan from your computer (or a plain white background), crop it and save.
-
Create and customize the tables: Double-click on the image to add a table, then choose one of the 4 shapes offered (round, square, rectangle or diamond) and the size that matches your real furniture.
-
Position and save: Drag the tables to recreate your layout, remove a table placed by mistake with the trash icon, then click SAVE.
Why follow this guide? A floor plan that exactly matches the physical layout of your restaurant lets your team assign reservations much faster and avoid seating mistakes. This overview keeps your service organized during peak hours and helps new staff get started quickly. Your guests do not see this plan: it is not displayed on your online booking pages.
