# Dine In & Table number

## Setup

In order to set up a dining option that will force a user to enter their table number you need to first mark "Ask for table code" in the setup section under Configure > Menu > Setup > Serving options:

Now, in the location settings, scroll down to "Dine in table code ranges" and enter the range which you want to enable a customer to select a table.

![](/files/-M8AA7W8WEUU6y_VuQjE)

If you have more than one range you can enter them with commas, for example if you have 101-118 on the main floor, and 201-207 on the second floor, you can enter in that field:

```
101-118,201-207
```

## Customer view

When a customer will select to dine in at that restaurant, they will have to enter the table number they are sitted at:

## Creating a deep link to print on each table

Your URL template will consist of the following fields:

* [ ] Your website URL (for this example we will **YOUR.RESTAURANT.COM**
* [ ] Location id (**branchId**) - the location of this table - can be found in the online ordering site as a URL parameter: "branchId=LOCATION\_ID" \
  please read more here: [Create Link To Order From Specific Branch](/portal/online-ordering/create-link-to-order-from-specific-branch.md#getting-your-branch-id)
* [ ] Table number (**tableCode**) - the table code you want to open.

This is the URL template you'll need to use: 

```
https://YOUR.RESTAURANT.COM/order/?branchId=LOCATION_ID&servingOptionType=sitdown&tableCode=TABLE_CODE
```

For each link, please change:

1. **YOUR.RESTAURANT.COM**
2. **LOCATION\_ID**
3. **TABLE\_CODE**

to the correct values

In order to set this up, you'll need to create a QR code for each table (using <https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/>)

For example, if we are building the qr code for Bierstadtlager, with the following values:

1. **YOUR.RESTAURANT.COM** = bierstadtlager.appfront.ai
2. **LOCATION\_ID =** 5e77579e2f5d250e142de64a
3. **TABLE\_CODE** = 32

Switching these values will give us:

<https://bierstadtlager.appfront.ai/order/?branchId=5e77579e2f5d250e142de64a&servingOptionType=sitdown&tableCode=32>

You will be able to see the online ordering / app open directly in the dine in menu, with the table already chosen
