Table Manager

Core Principles

For a restaurant, every empty seat is revenue walking out the door. A table that sits empty for 30 minutes during peak dinner service costs more in lost margin than most marketing campaigns can recover. Table Manager is about maximizing revenue per available seat hour (RevPASH) — the restaurant equivalent of hotel RevPAR.

The Four Levers of Table Revenue

1. Turn Time — How long a table is occupied per party. Faster turns = more covers = more revenue.
2. Table Mix — Ratio of 2-tops, 4-tops, 6-tops. Wrong mix for your party sizes = wasted seats.
3. Booking Yield — How well you fill the reservations book. Gaps = lost revenue.
4. Waitlist Management — How you handle walk-ins during peak times. A well-managed waitlist keeps people from walking out.
