# Manage restaurant tables - Table Management

### Introduction

In BMI Software, included in the F&B package, there is the possibility to manage your Kitchen floors and table. In this article we are going to analyze the most use cases and how to handle them.

### Basic Configuration

After gaining the license of Table Management, you will find a new tab on the top bar called ( Tables ), in which you have the 3 views you can choose from when it comes to the configuration: (Both, List, and Floor Plan)

![](https://support.bmileisure.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-05-2024-12-52-49-5833-PM.png?width=688&height=374&name=image-png-Apr-05-2024-12-52-49-5833-PM.png)

Step 1: Add floor zones

First start with adding / creating floor zones. In this way you can immediatley link the tables to the floorzones.

You can add floorzones by going to: Configurator → Food & Beverages → Floors

![](https://support.bmileisure.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-05-2024-12-56-25-9649-PM.png?width=688&height=214&name=image-png-Apr-05-2024-12-56-25-9649-PM.png)

 

Step 2: Add tables

You can add floorzones by going to: Configurator → Food & Beverages → Tables

Tables have to be active in order to be able to place them on a floorzone. Because we already made our floor zones we can immediately add the floor zone to the table.

![](https://support.bmileisure.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-05-2024-01-01-23-4105-PM.png?width=688&height=340&name=image-png-Apr-05-2024-01-01-23-4105-PM.png)

 

Step 2: Link tables to floorplan

If you go back to the floorzones (Configurator → Food & Beverages → Floors) and you select the floorzone you want to adjust. You can drag and drop the tables on the floor zone.
