In a previous article, we looked at the steps for creating table zones in the Butler Panel. You can manage and edit them according to your venue’s needs.
Each table zone comes with five buttons that give you full control over its management and organization. Let’s look at what each one does in detail:
1. Zone Users
Purpose:
Add or remove users (staff members) in the zone. This means that only the users assigned to this zone will be able to view, add orders, and manage the tables belonging to it.
How do I add a user to a table zone?
Click the button with the three people (
)
A new window will open with the title “Zone Users – [Zone Name].”
Click the “Add” button located under the window title to display the option to select a user.
By clicking on the “Users” field, a list of available users to add will appear.
If an email or username does not appear in this list, it means you have already added it.
If you want to add multiple users, enable the “Enable Multiple Selections” option before opening the list to add users. Once enabled, when you open the list, you will see a checkbox next to each user that you can select for multiple user additions.
Select the user and finally click the “Add” button.
You will now see that the user has been successfully added to the zone.
How do I remove a user from a table zone?
In the “Zone Users – [Zone Name]” window, you will find a list of the users currently assigned to the zone.
Click the Red Trash Bin button located to the right of the user’s name to remove them.
In the confirmation window that appears, click the red “Yes” button.
The user has been successfully removed from the zone.
Important: If you add tables to a zone without assigning users, the staff will not be able to view or manage those tables.
2. Zone Tables
Purpose:
To add or remove tables from the zone.
How do I add a table to a table zone?
Click the second button in the row (
).
A new window will open titled “Zone Tables – [Zone Name].”

By clicking on the “Tables” field, a list of available tables to add will appear.
You can add multiple tables to a zone at once by checking the “Enable Multiple Selections” box, as shown here:
In this way, when you click on the field to add tables, you will be able to select multiple tables by checking the box next to each table name you want to add.
For example:
*If a table does not appear in this list, it means you have already added it.
Select the table and finally click the “Add” button.
You will now see that the table has been successfully added to the zone.
Tip: You can add a table to a zone during its initial creation in the venue, as shown here.

3. Zone Catalogs
Purpose:
Assign a specific product catalog or multiple catalogs to the zone. When a user (e.g., a waiter) creates a new order at a table that belongs to this zone, they will only see the products included in the catalog(s) you have assigned.
Similarly, if you have enabled the menu display or contactless ordering feature for your customers, they will only be able to see the products from the catalogs you have assigned to this zone.
Important! This function is only useful if you are using the multiple catalogs feature. Otherwise, the following steps do not apply.

*If a catalog does not appear in this list, it means you have already added it.

You will now see that the catalog has been successfully added to the zone.
How do I remove a catalog from a table zone?

In the confirmation window that appears, click the red “Yes” button.
The catalog has been successfully removed from the zone.
4. Edit Zone
Purpose:
To edit the name of the zone.
How do I edit the name of a table zone?
Click the button with the pencil icon (
).
A new window will open titled “Edit Zone – [Zone Name].”
In the “Name” field, edit the zone’s name.
Click the “Save” button to complete the name update.
5. Delete Zone
How do I delete a table zone?
Click the button with the red trash bin.
A new confirmation window will open.
Click “Yes” to proceed with the deletion.
Note: Deleting a zone does not delete the tables assigned to it. These tables will remain unassigned and will appear in the “Tables” tab under the zone named “Without Zone.”
