Creating and Managing Dining Areas, Tables, and Seats

This screen contains configuration settings for Facility Setup for Dining Areas, Tables, and Seats. All Dining Areas, Tables, and Seats that are available in your facility can be set up in Dining Areas, Tables, and Seats. You can then select from the list of dining areas you set up when assigning residents to a dining location for each meal. You can add new, edit, and delete dining areas, tables, and seats.

Note

Use the Start Wizard only when using assigned seating. The Start Wizard provides a quick and efficient process for adding new Dining Areas, Tables and Seats. You can manually edit and delete after completing this process.
