Floor plan

The graphical floor plan depicts your rooms and tables to scale. It helps you plan the layout and, during live service, shows at a glance which table is free, reserved or occupied. The floor plan is optional — you can use VidiReserve without it.

Setting up the floor plan

Open My Restaurant → Floor Plan. The overview shows your sections as tiles on a grid. Via drag & drop you arrange the rooms the way they actually relate to each other; positions are saved automatically.

1. Drag the rooms into the desired arrangement on the grid.
2. Use "Editor" (or the edit icon on a room) to place the individual tables inside a room — there you drag tables and fixed elements such as wall, bar or counter into place.
3. Store the room size in metres so the depiction is accurate.

Nothing gets lost in the editor either: about one and a half seconds after your last change VidiReserve saves the layout automatically ("Auto-saved" on the save button). The Save button stays available for an immediate save. If a save fails, the message appears right inside the editor and your changes stay pending — the next attempt runs on your next move or via the button.

Live view

The Floor Plan Live view (its own item in the sidebar) shows occupancy in real time for a selectable date and time. At the top you see free and occupied tables, the guest count and occupancy as a percentage. The table colours distinguish free, "occupied soon", confirmed, pending, group booking and blocked. Clicking an occupied table opens the reservation for editing; clicking a free table creates a walk-in.

Overview or live — which when?

Use the overview/editor to set up: arrange rooms and place tables. Use Floor Plan Live in day-to-day operations: watch occupancy, take walk-ins and edit reservations right at the table. Both views draw on the same sections and tables.
