Floor Plan Print System

Print Floor Plan: Simplify Customer Management for a Shift

The Print Floor Plan feature in Alex Reservations provides a practical way for restaurants to manage their reservations and walk-in customers during a specific shift. By creating a printed version of the floor plan, the host or front-of-house staff can ensure smoother operations and enhanced customer service.

Why Print the Floor Plan?

1. Streamline Check-Ins:

   • The printed floor plan shows all reserved tables and their assigned customers for a specific shift, such as lunch or dinner.
   • This helps the person at the front door quickly guide customers to their assigned tables and manage the flow of reservations efficiently.

2. Manage Walk-Ins with Ease:

   • With a clear overview of all reserved tables, staff can immediately identify available tables for walk-in customers without needing to consult the system in real time.

3. Improved Customer Experience:

   • Quickly locate and guide customers to their reserved tables, making the check-in process seamless and professional.

Features of the Print Floor Plan

• Real-Time Table Overview:
  The printed plan shows the layout of tables and the names of customers assigned to each for a specific shift. While it doesn’t include real-time status (e.g., confirmed, seated), it provides a static snapshot of all reserved tables during that shift.

• Customizable Text:
  Manually adjust the size of customer names or any text directly within the view, ensuring the plan is easy to read for staff.

• High-Resolution Export:
  Generate a high-quality PNG file of the floor plan for printing. This ensures the printout is clear and professional.

How to Use the Print Floor Plan Feature

1. Access the Print Menu:

   • Navigate to the floor plan view.
   • From the top-right menu, select the desired shift (e.g., lunch, dinner).

2. Customize as Needed:

   • Adjust the size of the text on the plan to ensure clarity.

3. Export and Print:

   • Click the download icon to generate a high-resolution PNG file.
   • Print the file and provide it to the host or front-of-house team.

Benefits of the Print Floor Plan Feature

1. Operational Efficiency:
   A printed overview of reservations ensures the team can handle both reserved and walk-in customers with minimal delays.

2. Enhanced Communication:
   The host or front-of-house staff can easily share information about table availability and assignments with the rest of the team.

3. Improved Organization:
   By providing a physical reference, staff can stay on top of reservations even during busy shifts, ensuring a smoother customer experience.
