Draw the room once as it really stands, then see at a glance what is free, what is seated and who is waiting for the bill, and work on any table in one tap.
A till that shows tables as numbered buttons makes staff memorise where table 12 is and ask a colleague whether table 7 has paid. In a rush, a table held for a guest on the way gets given to someone else, and a table stays "occupied" in the system an hour after its guests left.
In Loqma, tables are a map of your actual room: each in its place and shape, its colour changing with its order's state, and a tap shows its bill and its next step, on the same screen.
Drag tables to where they really are, square or round, and group them into sections such as indoor and outdoor. The same layout appears on the tablet, the phone, the desktop app and the dashboard, and the whole room fits the screen with no scrolling.
Free is green, seated and eating is red, awaiting payment is amber, and reserved is blue with a dashed border. Above the map sit the occupancy rate and the count of each state, and every section shows how many tables it holds.
Tap a table and its panel opens: its bill's items, the amount left to collect, and one big button for its state. Free: "Start an order" after you pick how many guests. Seated: "Add items". Awaiting payment: "Pay" with the amount. Reserved: "Check in and start order".
Under the big button sit the other steps: pay, open the order, move to another table, split the bill, book or seat from the waitlist, cancel a booking or call its guest. Each button shows only for those allowed to use it.
If a table has items the kitchen has not received, they show as one amber row, "2 not sent to the kitchen", and a tap sends them. It is the one thing on a bill nobody is cooking and the map cannot show you.
Each table has a QR code guests order and pay from, and their order shows on that same table. If the sticker is lost or you want to change it, renew or revoke the code and the old one stops working.
The floor plan, tables and a QR code per table are in every plan. Reservations and the waitlist start from the Growth plan. Pricing
Yes. On the map, press "Arrange" and drag each table to its place, choosing square or round. Sections and tables are added from the admin page, and the layout appears the same on every device.
Tap the table and choose "Move"; the order opens on the move screen and you pick the new table. The bill moves with all its items and payments.
Yes, from the order page: split the bill between guests or merge two bills. On the table panel, the "Split" button takes you straight there when the table is awaiting payment.
Not at the moment. A table is free, occupied or reserved, and becomes free as soon as its order closes.
Yes. The Loqma app runs on phones and tablets, and a waiter sees the map and opens orders according to the permissions you give them.
The order shows on that table on the map and on the orders board, and reaches the kitchen. Every guest at the table can order and pay their own bill.
