Guests
Everyone who books or visits is saved here — visit count, contact info, and notes like allergies or seating preferences. This is your list, not Tock's.
Settings
Change how the whole system works — no code needed. Edits apply live and are saved on this device. (Tables are edited on the Floor plan tab; the food menu comes with the ordering system.)
How to use this
The everyday jobs at the host stand, step by step. Read it any time — opening this page never changes the floor.
Reading the floor
- Grey — table is open.
- Amber outline + a time (e.g. 6:30P) — booked for later.
- Green + a timer — guests are sitting there now.
Tap any table to open it, then choose what to do.
Seat a walk-in
- Bottom left, tap Walk-ins.
- Type their name and pick the party size. Add a mobile if you want to text them when the table is ready.
- Tap Add — they join the waiting list.
- When a table frees up, tap Seat on their row.
In a hurry? Tap a free table on the floor, choose the party size, and it seats them straight away.
Seat a reservation
- Bottom left, tap Upcoming to see who is due.
- Tap the guest’s row — their details open on the left.
- Check for a red ⚠ Allergy line and any note.
- No table yet? Tap ＋ Add table, tap the table(s) on the floor, then ✓ Done picking.
- Tap Seat.
When guests leave — always do this
Tap the green table → ✓ Finish · guest left.
This is the most important step. It frees the table and keeps tonight’s guest count and each server’s numbers correct.
Big party — join tables together
- Tap 🔗 Combine tables (top right).
- Tap each table you are pushing together.
- Tap Combine tables again to finish — they now work as one table.
Guest never came
Tap their row → at the bottom, Mark no-show.
Do this only after you have waited and tried their number. It frees the table and records what happened.
Text someone who is waiting
On the waiting list, tap 📩 on their row to tell them their table is ready. The button only shows if you added their mobile.
Servers
- Working now — who is on the floor. Not in today — tap a name to put them on.
- Tap a server, then tap tables to give them a section.
- Next means they are next in line to be seated.
Start and end of your shift
- Top left must say Today. If it shows another date, tap Today — otherwise you are changing the wrong day.
- ● Online means guests can book online. Tap it to pause online bookings.
- Finished for the day? ⚙ → Sign out.
If something looks wrong
- A red bar at the top means the tablet lost connection. Keep working — it catches up on its own. Do not close the app in the middle of seating someone.
- A table looks busy but nobody is there? Tap it and use ✓ Finish · guest left.
- ⚙ Settings is for managers. Please do not change anything in there — it affects both the floor and online bookings.
