Setting up your Floor Plan

Updated over 3 weeks ago

If you seat guests at tables, we recommend you add a Floor Plan. With a Floor Plan you can assign sales to a table and see them on the Floor Plan where you place them.

Log into the Tebi Back Office on a laptop or desktop computer (the floor plan editor is not available on mobile) and go to Settings > Floor Plan.

1. Floor plan options

There are two floor plan options with Tebi: Lite and Advanced.

The Lite floor plan does not require tables to be created and allows sales to be placed without tables. It is often used when a simple geographic placement of sales is all that is required.

The Advanced floor plan is Tebi’s default floor plan. It is highly recommended when using reservations or providing table service. Advanced maps sales directly to tables, stores any sales without tables in the Direct sales menu in the bottom bar and when you drag a second sale to a table it will stay on the table rather than merging.

2. Designing your floor plan

You have several options when designing your floor plan: a still image with tables already drawn on it or a customizable floor plan where you can draw tables as you go.

Static image option

  • Upload a floor plan image by clicking Customize at the top right corner and upload your image. Turn the Draw tables toggle off and save.

  • From the toolbar, add your tables, areas and table groups accordingly, see below for a longer description on how this works.

  • Click Preview to see what your floor plan will look like on the Tebi App.

Customizable option

  • Click Customize at the top right corner, either upload an image or choose a background color for your floor plan set-up.

  • Turn the Draw tables toggle on and save

  • Start by adding your first table, giving it any background, border and text color you prefer. While selecting the first table, and clicking Add table under the Toolbar, another table will be created in the same color scheme.

  • Now continue to fill up your business with tables, areas and table groups.

  • Click Preview to see what your floor plan will look like on the Tebi App.

Image orientation and size

When uploading a floor plan image, we recommend using landscape orientation in most cases. Floor plans tend to be wider than they are tall, making landscape the most natural fit for displaying your layout clearly on screen.

If your venue primarily uses phones and payment terminals, and no tablets, portrait orientation may work better. Phones and terminals are typically held or mounted vertically, so a portrait image will fill the screen more naturally.

For image size, upload your floor plan at a minimum of 1080 x 1080 pixels. Use PNG format for the best results.

Tebi tip: You can adjust the rotation of your floor plan image directly in your terminal's display settings.
