Run service with Floor & bookings

The live screens for a shift, in the dashboard for owners and full screen in Service for the host stand.


Floor & bookings is the part of tamr you use during service: who is at each table, who is booked, what has been ordered and what has run out. The same screens open in two places: inside the dashboard for owners and managers, and full screen in Service for the tablet on the host stand.

Pro

Floor, Arrivals, Live chats, Bookings, Orders and the Reservations app are part of Pro. On Free they stay in the sidebar with a small Pro mark and open to a preview with Get Pro. Sold out works on every plan.

Where the screens live

In the dashboard, open Floor & bookings in the sidebar. It holds four pages: Floor, Bookings, Orders and Sold out. Owners and managers work here without leaving the dashboard.

For the floor team there are two full-screen apps on the same data. Open them from Service & Reservations at the foot of the sidebar.

Open Service on a tablet

    On the tablet, sign in and choose Service & Reservations → Service, or go straight to /app/{restaurant}/service.

  2. 2
    Add it to the home screen

    Use your browser's Add to Home Screen. The installed app opens in Service every time, without the dashboard's sidebar.

Service opens in a dark theme, sized for a finger and readable at arm's length.

The dock at the bottom holds six screens. The top bar shows the location, the time on the device, and Live while the screen is updating on its own.

Answer the Need you queue

When the AI waiter cannot help a customer on its own (a severe allergy, a complaint, a request for staff), it hands the conversation to your team. Need you in the top bar shows how many are waiting. Tap it to open the queue.

The Need you dialog with a handover card for table 511 marked Severe allergy, showing what the customer and the AI waiter said
Need you. The most urgent handover first, with what each side said and what to do.

Each card shows the table in large type, the reason, how long the customer has waited, and the last thing the customer and the AI waiter each said. The queue is ordered by urgency: a severe allergy first, then a complaint, then everyone else, longest wait first within each.

Go to tableaction
Opens the table on the floor. Shown when the chat came from a table's code.
Mark answeredaction
Takes the card off the queue once someone has gone to the customer.
Add a noteaction
A note for your team, kept on the handover.

Opens the full chat in Messaging, in the dashboard.

Your floor team acts on the handover. Staff do not reply inside the customer's chat.

Service keeps the floor team on the floor. A link that goes to a dashboard page carries a small Manage marker, so the person knows the next screen is the dashboard. People whose role does not include the dashboard never see a link that fails: they see a short line instead, such as Set up in Manage by a manager or Full chat is in Manage. Owners and admins also get a Manage button in the top bar that opens the full dashboard.

Read the colours

Every state has its own colour, an icon and a label, so nothing depends on colour alone. Tap Key on the plan to see them.

FAQ

Do owners have to use Service?

No. Floor, Bookings, Orders and Sold out are pages of the dashboard under Floor & bookings. Service is the same screens, full screen, for a shared tablet.

Can a host open the dashboard from Service?

Only if their role includes it. Owners and admins see Manage. Other roles see a short note where a dashboard link would be.

Does the screen refresh on its own?

Yes. Live in the top bar means it is updating within seconds. If the connection drops it says Reconnecting and catches up when it is back.

What does a Free restaurant see?

Floor, Bookings and Orders show a small Pro mark and open to a preview with Get Pro. Sold out works as normal.
