How it works
Understanding the numbers
What turnover tells you
Table turnover is how many times each seat is used in a service. Higher turnover means more covers and revenue from the same room. This calculator shows turns per seat and the average minutes each seating occupied a place.
Improving it without rushing guests
The fastest gains come from removing waiting, not hurrying people: let guests order and pay from the table, pace the kitchen with coursing, and re-seat promptly using a live floor plan. Speed should be invisible.
