### **Before you start**

- You have an active NeroPay account with NeroPOS enabled 
- You have decided how your areas are laid out — for example, First Floor, Second Floor, Garden 
- You have your menu and products set up on NeroWeb — see [Adding products](https://docs.neropay.app/epos/adding-products)

### **Part 1 — Enable table management**

**Step 1 — Go to POS Settings**

From your dashboard, follow this path:

**NeroPOS → POS Settings**

**Step 2 — Enable table customers**

Scroll down and switch on **Allow customers on tables and Enable table map**.

> ⚠️ **Important:** Make sure this toggle is switched on before moving to the next step — the Tables and Areas section will not work correctly without it.

### **Part 2 — Set up your areas**

**Step 3 — Go to Tables and Areas**

From your dashboard, follow this path:

**NeroPOS → Tables and Areas**

**Step 4 — Add your areas**

Before creating your table map, you need to set up your areas first. An area is a section of your venue — for example First Floor, Second Floor, Garden, or Bar.

- Click **Add Area** at the top right 
- Give the area a name and click **Edit** 
- Repeat for each section of your venue

> 💡 **Tip:** Create areas that reflect your actual floor layout — this makes order management much easier during service.

### **Part 3 — Build your table map**

**Step 5 — Create your table map**

Once your areas are set up, click **Create / Edit Map** for the area you want to configure. You have two options:

**Option A — Build manually**

- Click **Add Table** at the top right 
- Enter the table details: 

- **Name** — the table number, for example Table 1 
- **Label** — a staff reference, for example By the Window 
- Click **Build Mode** to drag and drop tables into their physical positions on the map 
- Use **Draw Table** to create custom shapes — circles or rectangles — for a more accurate representation of your layout

**Option B — Upload a floor plan and let AI do it for you**

Click **Choose file** to upload an image of your floor plan. The AI will automatically generate your table map based on the layout.

> 💡 **Tip:** The AI option saves time if you already have a printed or digital floor plan. Make sure the image is clear and easy to read for the best result. PNG or JPG formats work best.

**Step 6 — Save your changes**

Once you are happy with your layout, click **Save Settings** at the top right of the page.

> ⚠️ **Important:** Your table map will not be saved until you click Save Settings. Do this before leaving the page.

**Part 4 — Set up QR codes**

Once your tables are created, each one automatically gets its own unique QR code. Customers can scan this code to view your menu and place orders directly from their table.

**Step 7 — Generate and print QR codes**

- In the table list or layout view, locate the **QR** icon next to each table 
- Click the **QR** button to open the unique code for that table 
- Save the image or print it directly 
- Place the printed QR code on its corresponding table

> ⚠️ **Before service starts:** Scan a few of your printed QR codes with your phone to make sure they lead to the correct table number on your NeroWeb store. Do this before customers arrive.

**Frequently asked questions**

**Q: Do I need to set up areas before creating a table map?** A: Yes. Areas must be created first — you then build a separate table map for each area.

**Q: Can I have different table maps for different areas?** A: Yes. Each area has its own map, so First Floor, Second Floor, and Garden can all have completely separate layouts.

**Q: Can I edit the table map after it has been created?** A: Yes. Go back to **NeroPOS → Tables and Areas** and click **Create / Edit Map** at any time to make changes.

**Q: What happens if I move a table in real life — do I need to update the map?** A: Yes. We recommend keeping your digital map in sync with your physical layout so your team can locate tables quickly during service.

**Q: Will enabling table management affect my existing orders?** A: No. Enabling the feature simply adds table management to your EPOS — it does not affect any orders already in progress.

**Q: Can customers order and pay entirely from the QR code?** A: Customers can browse the menu and place orders via the QR code. Payment settings depend on your NeroWeb configuration — see [NeroWeb settings →] for details.
