Once you've set up table management in the Yoco App (mobile or web), the Tables tab will appear automatically on all your linked Khumo devices, so your staff can take orders and manage tables straight from the floor. No extra setup needed.
Starting a new order on a table
Tap the Tables tab on your Khumo home screen.
Select an available table.
💡 Good to know:Tables are labelled either Available (in green) or Occupied (in red) so that you can quickly see which ones are free and which are in use.
You can use the dropdown menu at the top of the screen to filter your tables by section.
After selecting an open table, enter the number of guests and tap the Seat guests button.
Add items to your order by tapping on the products in your product catalogue. Tap the Add to order button before adding the next product.
Once you've added all the items to your order, tap the View order button.
Tap the Send button to send the order through to the kitchen.
As soon as the order has been sent, you'll be returned to the Tables tab.
