Frequently Asked Questions
What is seat turnover time?
It's the average amount of time a seat is occupied by a single party before it's available again, calculated by dividing total service minutes by turns per seat.
Why does turn time matter?
Faster, well-managed turn times let restaurants seat more guests during peak hours, directly increasing revenue without adding seats.
How can I reduce turn time?
Streamlining ordering, kitchen ticket times, and payment processing, plus proactive table bussing, can all shorten average turn time.
