4 - Interface adjustments

On this page, you can adjust the display for your staff.

  • Disable chat support => You can you let (or not) your staff contact Hostme directly via chat for support

Pre-seating statuses: You can create different statuses to better track arriving parties.
Click on "Add new" if you want to create more pre-seating statuses.


Custom tables statuses: Once a party is seated, you can change statuses as the meal progresses. If you have an integration with Lightspeed, Lighspeed can automatically update some of them.
