Floor Plan

The Floor Plan screen displays the floor plan associated with the profit center. A floor plan is nothing but a map that represents the physical layout of tables in a property.

Navigate to Jump Bar ➜ Floor Plan. The primary floor plan associated with the profit center appears. If there is no primary floor plan associated with the profit center, all the floor plans configured for the enterprise appear.

  • The configured tables must be placed in the appropriate floor plan layout in the Floor Plan form.

  • The layout of the floor plan displayed in the POS terminal resembles the floor plan layout configured in IGCM.

  • The shapes, sizes, and colors of the tables, function and check type buttons displayed in the floor plan layout in the POS terminal resemble the configuration in IGCM.

  • The floor plan layout is displayed in the Modern Ocean theme irrespective of the theme selected in the POS terminal.

  • The long-press functionality is limited to the tables only.

  • The Floor Plan screen does not display header and footer.
