# Manage rooms

> Create, edit, prioritize, find, and safely remove the room groups used by your shop.

Rooms group physical booking tables and provide the structure for filters, allocation priority, and floor layouts. Owners and Managers can create and maintain them from one shop-scoped page.

## Who can do this?

Owners and Managers can use the described parts. Only Owners and Managers have configuration write access; Staff access remains read-only or operational. API authorization is authoritative.

## Where

Open **Settings → Rooms & tables**. Use search or the room filter chips to find the relevant section. Room actions are available in the room header and its overflow menu.

## Steps

1. Choose **Add room**, enter a unique non-empty name, and select a priority from Highest to Lowest.
2. Save the room, then use its section to add or assign tables and combined tables.
3. To change a room, open the edit control and update its name or priority.
4. Choose **Edit layout** only for spatial design; it does not edit the room’s name or allocation priority.
5. To remove a room, choose Delete and review the confirmation before proceeding.

## Platform notes

The API permits Owner and Manager writes; Staff can read room data where operational screens require it but the Admin management navigation is hidden. Room names must be unique within the store. Deleting a room does not delete its booking or combined tables: their room reference is cleared, so they move to the unassigned group.

## Market notes

The model and controls are shared by GB and DE. Names are merchant-entered and are not translated automatically. Use labels that staff in the shop understand, while keeping canonical help content in the selected help-center language.

## Troubleshooting

A duplicate name or invalid value is rejected by the API. If a deleted room seems to have lost tables, clear filters and open **Unassigned**. If a room filter disappears, the page safely falls back to All. Reload before repeating a failed create to avoid accidental duplicates.
