Restaurant table management on a POS is how the floor knows which tables are free, which have open orders, and which are waiting for payment. In Bangladesh dine-in rooms, that state stops two waiters from billing the same group and helps the owner see which tables turn slowly after iftar.
Quick answer: Restaurant table management tracks free, occupied, and billed tables and ties orders to each bill. Riser POS publishes tables for dine-in. Split-by-seat billing is a separate cluster article when live; confirm table transfer on a Dimdul demo.

What are the three table states?
| State | Meaning on the floor |
|---|---|
| Free | No open order; guests can sit |
| Occupied | Order open; kitchen may be working |
| Billed / payment pending | Food served; waiting for cash, card, or split payment |
Counter-only QSR outlets often skip table maps entirely (fast food and QSR POS). Add tables when wrong bills outnumber shouting.
What table management is not
- Reservations. Riser POS does not publish a reservation book; use a notebook or a vendor that documents online booking.
- Split bills. By seat or by item belongs on the split-bill URL later; kitchen ticket should not fire twice for one cook line.
- Multi-branch floor plans. Not published on Riser POS.
How Riser POS fits Bangladesh dine-in
Riser POS lists tables with restaurant billing, KDS or print, QR menu optional, offline mode, and split payment. Typical flow: open table, add items with modifiers, send kitchen ticket, print or settle bill, mark table free.
Hardware: tablet at the counter or waiter device (restaurant POS hardware in Bangladesh). Choosing tables vs counter-only: how to choose restaurant POS in Bangladesh. Hub: POS software in Bangladesh.
What to test on demo
- Open two tables; confirm states show correctly.
- Add modified items; kitchen receives one ticket per send.
- Close bill with split payment if you use it.
- Ask explicitly about transfer table if waiters hand off sections; only describe what the demo shows.
