FW Food Menu – Documentation

What the Tables Addon Does

The Tables addon adds dine-in ordering support to FW Food Menu. When active, guests can select their table number at checkout, so staff know exactly where to bring the food. A Tables section appears in the FW Food Menu admin panel where you manage which tables are available.

Use Cases

• Dine-in ordering — guests scan a QR code at their table, browse the menu on their device, and place an order that includes their table number for kitchen and serving staff.
• Table management — you maintain a list of tables in the admin; only published tables appear in the dropdown guests see at checkout.

Managing Tables

Go to FW Food Menu → Tables to add and manage your table list. Each table record has two fields:

• Table name/number — the label shown to the guest, for example "Table 5" or "Bar Seat 3".
• Status — set to Published to make the table available for selection, or Unpublished to hide it without deleting it.

How It Works at Checkout

The Tables addon requires the Cart addon to be active. Once both are enabled, the checkout form gains a Dine In option alongside Delivery and Pickup. When a guest selects Dine In, a Table dropdown appears listing all published tables.

The selected table is saved with the order and displayed in the admin Orders list, giving staff a clear reference for each dine-in order.

If you also use the Delivery addon, all three checkout options — Delivery, Pickup, and Dine In — can coexist. The guest chooses one at checkout.

Settings

The Tables addon adds one setting, found under Settings → Orders:

• Show dine-in option — enables or disables the Dine In choice at checkout. Disable this to temporarily remove the option without uninstalling the addon.

Important Notes

• Tables are not locked when selected. If two guests choose the same table at the same time, both orders will be accepted — staff should monitor the Orders list accordingly.
• Unpublishing a table removes it from the checkout dropdown immediately, without affecting existing orders that already reference it.

To install this addon, open the Add-ons panel inside FW Food Menu. See Getting Started → Add-ons for details on free addons, paid addons, and site verification.
