01
Calculate turnover
Covers served in a service ÷ number of seats. A result of 1.5 means each seat was used one and a half times.
02
Measure real duration
Note how long a two-top and a four-top actually stay: that’s your booking duration.
03
Spread arrivals
A 15- or 30-minute interval between seatings keeps the kitchen from getting everyone at 7 p.m.
04
Cap covers per seating
Limiting how many people arrive at once protects the kitchen and the floor.
05
Adjust by day
Saturday isn’t Tuesday: adapt durations and slots.
