Table turnover

What is table turnover?

Table turnover measures how often a table is "turned" or used over a given period of time, typically during a single service.

Why does it matter?

High table turnover points to efficient use of the seats you have, which can raise total revenue without necessarily raising running costs.

How can you improve it?

To increase table turnover, focus on cutting the wait between sittings through good staff planning and tighter processes. Also put in a booking system that makes the most of every table.
