Questions

What is table turnover and why does it matter?

Table turnover is how many times a seat or table is occupied by a new party over a service or a day. It matters because seating capacity is fixed — once every seat is full, the only ways to grow revenue are to turn seats more often or raise the average spend per guest. A small increase in turns, multiplied across every seat and every day, can move revenue meaningfully, which is why turnover is one of the most powerful levers a restaurant has.

How do I increase table turnover without rushing guests?

The goal is smoother service, not hurried guests. Faster turns usually come from reducing the dead time around a meal — seating promptly, taking orders without delay, firing courses well, and clearing and resetting quickly — rather than pushing people out. Menu design, payment at the table, and reservation pacing all help. The planner lets you see what even a modest lift in turns is worth, so you can judge which operational changes are worth pursuing.
