# POS Units and Areas Overview

In Fuze Store POS, a **unit** is a space you can assign to an order -- like a table, room, seat, or booth. Units help you track where each order belongs and keep your team organized.

## What Are Units?

Units are the individual spaces you use for service. Examples:

- Table 1 in a restaurant
- Room 3 in a hotel
- Seat 5 at the bar
- Private booth or karaoke room

When you create an order, you can assign it to a specific unit. For example, Order #123 is assigned to Table 1.

## What Are Areas?

Areas are groups of units. They help you organize your space and find units quickly. Examples:

- **Balcony** (Tables 1-4)
- **Patio** (Tables 5-8)
- **Main Area** (Booths 1-6)
- **Bar Side** (Seats 1-10)

Areas let you see at a glance which sections are busy. Staff can quickly locate the right spot for each order.

## Why Use Units and Areas?

- **Stay organized** -- Always know where each order is.
- **Speed up service** -- Staff can quickly find the right table, room, or seat.
- **Improve experience** -- Customers get the right order at the right place.
- **Plan ahead** -- See which areas are busy and allocate resources accordingly.

## Tips

- Use clear, simple names for units and areas (e.g., "Table 1" or "Patio").
- Group units into areas that match your physical layout.
- You can add, edit, or remove units and areas anytime as your business changes.
