# Table Management

### Overview

You can fill more seats and keep service flowing smoothly with FoodBucket Table Management System. You can manage all the table arrangements from the backend/admin area. However, you can manage the following with POS:

* Open Table
* Occupied Table
* Private Table
* Merge Table

#### Open Table

The table is open and available which means that it is clean and prepared for the next customer.

#### Occupied Table

A table is said to be occupied when it is occupied by customers. It shows by a bar on POS as shown in the image below:

#### Private Table

Private sales are carried on private tables where the bill is not charged. You can change the status of a table to a private table from the **backend/admin area.**

#### Merge Table

To merge tables together, choose the “Merge Tables” option.
