What this page is for
This page adds an area — a part of the floor such as the terrace or the bar — or changes one you already have. An area belongs to one branch for good: once created, it cannot move to another branch, so that a closed table session keeps reporting against the area it was actually served in.
Only people whose role can manage the floor and kitchen set-up see this page.
Fields
Branch
Which branch the area belongs to. Required when adding a new area, and fixed for ever afterwards.
Example: Westlands
Name
What the area is called, in your own words. Required.
Example: Terrace
Order on the floor plan
Where this area appears among the others on the waiter's floor plan. Lower numbers appear first. Required.
Example: 1 for the first area waiters see.

Worked examples
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar adds Terrace as its first area, with Order on the floor plan 1, then Main dining at 2 and Bar at 3, so the floor plan always lists them in the order the floor manager likes to walk.
