In short

Tap a green table → Seat walk-in → set the party size → Seat party of 2.

1

Tap a green table

The floor with an open table circled

Green means open. Tap the table you want to give them — a panel slides in from the right with the table's number, Open, and how many it seats.

2

Tap Seat walk-in

The table panel with Seat walk-in circled

It's in the list of things you can do with an open table. If your restaurant uses Tonight's team, the Waiter row above the list shows whose table it is — the party will be theirs.

3

Set the party size

The walk-in form: party size, optional name and phone

Use − and + to set the Party size. Name and phone are optional — but a name makes the night easier to follow, and a phone number builds your guest book. Start typing and the app suggests guests it already knows.

Tap Seat party of 2

The table now seated, with its timer running

The panel closes, the table turns red, and its timer starts counting. Done.

Is someone booked on this table later tonight? The app checks whether the walk-in will be done in time. A blue note — Reserved 7:30 PM here — should clear by ~8:10 PM — means you're fine. A red one means it's tight, and the button becomes Seat anyway · party of 2. It's your call.
