With Crqlar Version 3.6.2, we continue our focus on making daily operations in restaurants even smoother and more intuitive.
This release introduces major improvements for tablet usage, floorplan management and booking engine customization. Teams can now manage tables more easily, move reservations more intuitively and create their own floorplans directly in the system — without relying on external support.
Below is an overview of the most important improvements in this release.
📱 Improved Tablet Floorplan Editing
Restaurants often rely on tablets during service, so we’ve significantly improved the floorplan editing experience on touch devices.
Editing tables and layout elements is now much more flexible and intuitive. Staff can adjust the appearance and positioning of tables directly within the editor using new design controls.
New capabilities include:
- Layer controls to move tables or elements forward or backward
- Adjustable table colors and visual styles
- Customizable stroke width and stroke color
- Flexible table shape adjustments
These improvements make it easier to quickly adapt the floorplan to real-world conditions — for example when rearranging tables, preparing for special events or optimizing seating layouts.
Instead of relying on technical support, teams can now adjust their layout directly in seconds.
🖱️ Enhanced Drag & Drop for Reservations
Managing reservations during busy service hours requires speed and precision.
To support this, we’ve improved how reservations can be moved onto the floorplan.
Reservations can now be dragged from the sidebar onto the floorplan much more smoothly and intuitively.
The improved interaction ensures that reservations snap into the correct position and remain easy to manage even during peak hours.
Benefits include:
- Faster table assignment during service
- Clearer visual feedback while dragging reservations
- A more natural interaction for both desktop and tablet users
The result is a more fluid workflow for front-of-house teams who frequently adjust seating arrangements.
👆 Tablet-Optimized Calendar Interactions
Touch devices behave differently from desktop computers, especially because hovering is not available.
To improve the tablet experience, we introduced new touch-based interactions in the calendar view.
Key improvements:
- Tap once to display reservation information
- Long press to open the full reservation dialog
This interaction model makes it easier to quickly check reservation details without accidentally opening editing windows.
For teams working with tablets during service, this means faster access to information with fewer interruptions in workflow.
🗺️ Self-Service Floorplans
One of the biggest highlights of this release is the introduction of Self-Service Floorplans.
Restaurants can now create and modify their own floorplans directly inside Crqlar, without needing assistance from support or technical teams.
This allows operators to:
- Create new layouts for different rooms or restaurant areas
- Adjust table configurations whenever the setup changes
- Experiment with seating arrangements to optimize capacity
For hotels and restaurants with seasonal concepts, pop-up spaces or frequent layout adjustments, this dramatically increases flexibility.
Instead of waiting for configuration changes, teams can now design and update their floorplans independently.
🎨 Booking Engine Customization Improvements
We’ve also improved the customization options of the Crqlar Booking Engine, making it easier to align the reservation experience with your brand.
New styling improvements include:
- Google Font integration for more flexible typography
- Improved logo handling in the booking interface
- Additional localization options for styling
These changes help ensure that the booking widget integrates seamlessly into your website while maintaining a consistent visual identity.
For guests, this results in a cleaner and more professional booking experience.
Summary
Crqlar Version 3.6.2 focuses on improving daily workflows for restaurant teams while giving businesses more control over their system configuration.
Highlights of this release include:
- Improved tablet floorplan editing tools
- More intuitive drag & drop for reservations
- Touch-optimized calendar interactions
