# How to Update Unit Status

Tracking which tables, rooms, or seats are available, occupied, or reserved keeps your team informed in real time. Updating unit status helps prevent double-bookings and keeps service running smoothly.

## Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open the **sidebar menu** by clicking the hamburger icon.
2. Click **POS Unit** from the main menu. You see a list of all enabled units in your store.
3. Select the unit you want to update (e.g., Table 5, Room 2, Seat 8).
4. Choose the new status:
   - **Available** -- Ready for new orders.
   - **Unavailable** -- Temporarily out of use (e.g., cleaning or maintenance).
   - **Reserved** -- Set aside for a future booking.
   - **Occupied** -- Currently in use with an active order.
5. Save or confirm the change.

The unit's status updates instantly. Everyone on your team can see what is available or busy.

## Tips

- Update status as soon as things change to avoid confusion or double-bookings.
- Some POS setups support color-coded statuses for faster recognition.
