Set your text-message signature

How to set the SMS signature that gets auto-appended to your replies, with three patterns (personal, venue, multi-venue placeholder).

Auto-appended to every SMS your team sends from inside Tablevoice. Two minutes to set; saves your team typing it 30 times a day.

How to set it

  • Open the app.

  • Tap the gear icon (top right) → My Account.

  • Find Text message signature.

  • Type the signature.

  • Save.

What to put in it

Pattern 1 — Personal + venue

— Meryl, Foodie's Café

Good for venue users who handle most replies. Personalizes the response.

Pattern 2 — Venue only

— The team at Foodie's Café

Good for the shared front-of-house iPad. Doesn't tie a reply to one person.

Pattern 3 — Multi-venue with placeholder

If you work across venues, use the placeholder:

— Meryl, #{{BusinessName}}

Foodie substitutes the current venue name automatically. Saves you maintaining different signatures per venue.

How it shows up

When you reply to a guest, the signature appears as a chip in the message preview. You can:

  • Send with signature — just press Send.

  • Send without — click the X on the chip before sending. One-time skip; signature comes back next message.

  • Edit the signature in My Account — changes apply to all future messages.

Best practices

  • Keep it short. Two lines max. Your reply is the message; the signature is just attribution.

  • Don't include phone numbers in signatures. Foodie texts from your number anyway — the guest already knows where the message came from.

  • Match your in-restaurant tone. If your venue is formal, "— Sincerely, Meryl" is fine. If casual, "— Meryl" is enough.
