Table Merges
The Table Merges module tracks and manages merged tables within a restaurant branch.
Merging tables allows staff to handle larger groups by combining two or more tables into one order and billing process.
This feature ensures that orders, billing, and capacity are properly allocated when tables are merged.
Index Page
The Index Page lists all table merge records.
Each record shows details about which tables were merged, who created and closed the merge, and whether the merge was for billing, capacity, or order purposes.
This helps managers and cashiers track table usage, prevent conflicts, and ensure proper reporting.

- Primary Table: When tables are merged, one is designated as the primary table where billing and session tracking are consolidated.
- Billing Merges: Orders from all merged tables are consolidated under the primary table for payment.
- Capacity Merges: Used when multiple tables are joined to seat a large group but may still track separate orders.
- Order Merges: Ensures that the merged tables share the same service type (e.g., all are treated as dine-in).
- Audit Tracking: Created By and Closed By fields ensure accountability and traceability of merge actions.
