Steps

  1. Open Card Management

    Navigate to Dashboard → Cards (`/dashboard/cards`).

    This screen displays all registered cards for the restaurant, their assigned tables, and direct QR links.

  2. Add a new card record

    Click "Add Card" at the top of the page.

    Enter a descriptive label (e.g. "Card T-01", "Terrace Disc A", or "Bar Stool 3"). Click "Add Card" to create the entry.

  3. Link the card to a table

    On the card, press Change and pick a table from the list.

    Once linked, any customer tapping that card will immediately be routed to that table’s ordering session. To unlink a card, press Change and choose — Unassigned —.
