Zone Management

One Floor Plan, Four Zones — Perfectly Organised

Segment your restaurant into Indoor, Outdoor, VIP, and Bar zones. Assign stewards to specific sections, track revenue per zone, and switch views with a single tap during service.

  • ✓ Steward Rajan automatically sees only his Indoor tables — no clutter.
  • ✓ VIP zone locks reserved tables until the guest's name is confirmed at the host stand.
  • ✓ Outdoor tables auto-disable during monsoon hours using shift scheduling.
  • ✓ Bar stools tracked separately with quick-turn billing for walk-ins.
  • ✓ Zone summary shows occupancy %, average bill, and active stewards at once.

How It Works

From Empty Floor to Full House in 4 Steps

Geni Menu's table management fits naturally into how your team already works — no new habits to force.

1
🗺️

Set Up Your Floor Plan

Use the drag-and-drop editor to map your restaurant exactly — place tables, label zones, set capacities, and assign stewards. Takes about 15 minutes once.

2
🤝

Seat & Link Guests

When a guest arrives, tap the table, select their reservation (if any), and confirm seating. The timer starts, the POS opens to their order, and the steward gets notified.

3
📊

Monitor in Real-Time

Watch your floor plan update live — bill amounts grow, dining timers tick, and alerts fire when a table has been seated past your average turn time of 60 minutes.

4
✅

Clear & Turnaround

After billing, mark the table Cleaning with one tap. It turns grey on the floor plan and alerts housekeeping. Once cleared, flip it to Available — the next guest is ready to be seated.

All Capabilities

Everything You Need to Run a Tight Floor

Six features that combine into one seamless seating experience — for guests and staff alike.

🖊️

Visual Floor Plan Editor

Drag, drop, and arrange tables on a canvas that mirrors your actual restaurant layout. Add walls, pillars, and section dividers to make it feel real. Supports multi-floor setups.

🟢

Live Table Status

Four instant states — Available (green), Occupied (coffee), Reserved (amber), Cleaning (grey). Staff see the full picture at a glance without radio-calling the host stand.

⏱️

Turn-Time Tracking

Each occupied table shows a live dining timer. When a table crosses your average turn time, it highlights in amber so hosts can proactively offer bills or check in with guests.

🗂️

Zone & Section Management

Organise tables into Indoor, Outdoor, VIP, and Bar zones. Assign stewards per zone, view zone-level occupancy stats, and generate per-zone revenue reports at end of shift.

🔗

Guest Linking on Seating

When a reserved guest arrives, tap their name from the reservation list to link it to the table. Their preferences, allergies, and past visit notes appear instantly for the steward.

⚡

Instant Status Updates

Table states sync across POS, the host display, and waiter tablets in under one second. No refresh needed — when Priya marks T-05 clean at the POS, Rajan sees it update at the floor map.

😣
Without Geni Menu

Chaos at the Host Stand

  • ✕ Rajan shouts across the dining room to ask if T-07 is free yet.
  • ✕ Paper seating chart is scribbled over — impossible to read during rush hour.
  • ✕ A couple is double-seated at T-03 because the host and a waiter both claimed it.
  • ✕ No idea how long T-09 has been occupied — did they even get a bill?
  • ✕ VIP guest "Mehra family" walks in but the reserved table is still being cleaned — nobody knew.
  • ✕ Manager walks the floor every 15 minutes just to count available tables.
✨

  • ✓ Manager's dashboard shows occupancy %, avg turn, revenue — no floor walks needed.
FAQ

Common Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before setting up your digital floor plan.

How long does it take to draw my floor plan in Geni Menu?
▾
Most restaurants complete their initial floor plan setup in under 20 minutes using our drag-and-drop editor. You can place tables, label zones, set seating capacities, and assign stewards all in one session. We also offer a guided onboarding call where a Geni Menu specialist sets it up with you.
Does the floor plan update in real-time across all devices?
▾
Yes. Geni Menu uses WebSocket connections to sync table status changes across all logged-in devices — POS terminals, host tablets, waiter handhelds, and the manager dashboard — in under one second. When Priya marks T-05 as Cleaning at her POS, Rajan sees the grey state appear on the floor map immediately.
Can I manage multiple floors or buildings in one account?
▾
Absolutely. Geni Menu supports multi-floor setups within a single location (Ground Floor, Rooftop, Basement Bar) as well as multiple outlets under one account (e.g. The Spice Route — Bandra and The Spice Route — Powai). Each outlet has its own independent floor plan and team, but management gets a consolidated view from the head office dashboard.
How does guest linking work when a walk-in arrives without a reservation?
▾
For walk-ins, you simply tap the table on the floor map, enter the guest count, and optionally add a guest name or phone number. If the guest has visited before, their profile auto-populates from your CRM with past orders and preferences. The seating record is created instantly and tied to the POS session for that table.
Is there a limit on the number of tables I can add?
▾
No hard limits. Geni Menu scales from a 5-table café to a 200-seat banquet hall. Larger properties typically split into multiple zones or floors for easier navigation. Our pricing is flat per outlet, not per table, so you never get penalised for growing.
