How to Reserve Tables or Rooms & Assign Staff

The "Table" function refers to the feature that allows staff to assign orders to specific tables or rooms. 

This function is particularly useful for businesses that offer table or room service, as it enables staff to keep track of which table or room ordered which items, and helps ensure that orders are delivered to the correct table or room. 

Now users can start a bill via the new Table Layout.  

For example: In a restaurant, customers are dining at a table. So users can start the billing process by selecting a new table layout and keep updating it via Table Layout once they order new items.
