The Tables area appears when `Tables` is enabled in POS config.

Use it for dine-in workflows where staff need to start or continue orders by table.

## Before Using Tables

Set up dining areas and tables first from [Table Management](/restaurant/tables-and-reservations/table-management).

Then make sure the POS device has `Tables` enabled.

## During Service

Use Tables to choose the table, number of guests, and active table order.

Keep table orders updated so staff can understand which tables are still active.
