Table Reports
Table Reports give managers detailed visibility into how efficiently the dining room operates — from individual table performance to server-level productivity.
Table Turn Times
Track how long each table is occupied from seating to payment close. The system breaks the turn into distinct phases so you can pinpoint delays.
| Phase | Description | Typical Target |
|---|---|---|
| Seat to First Order | Time from host seating to first item sent to kitchen | Under 5 minutes |
| Order to Entree Fire | Kitchen queue and prep time | Under 12 minutes |
| Entree to Check Drop | Dining duration until check is presented | Under 25 minutes |
| Check to Close | Payment processing and table clear | Under 8 minutes |
| Total Turn | Seat to table available | Under 50 minutes |
Filter turn times by day of week, daypart, party size, or server to find patterns.
Covers Per Table
View the average number of guests seated at each table or table configuration. This data helps optimize your floor plan — if a four-top consistently seats only two guests, consider replacing it with a deuce.
- Covers by table number — identify underperforming seats
- Covers by section — compare sections for balanced workload distribution
- Covers by party size — understand your guest mix for seating strategy
Section Performance
Sections group tables by server assignment. Section-level reports aggregate revenue, covers, turn times, and check averages so managers can evaluate whether sections are balanced.
- Revenue per section per shift
- Average check size by section
- Turn count by section (higher turns in well-managed sections)
- Comparative view across all sections for a given shift
Peak Seating Times
A heatmap visualization shows when the dining room is at capacity versus underutilized. Use this data to:
- Adjust reservation availability windows
- Time promotional offers to fill slow periods
- Staff the host stand appropriately for rush periods
- Plan table configuration changes for high-volume periods
Server Efficiency
Per-server metrics help managers coach performance and reward top performers.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Tables Turned | Total tables served per shift |
| Average Turn Time | How quickly the server moves guests through |
| Revenue Per Hour | Total sales divided by hours worked |
| Check Average | Average guest check for the server |
| Upsell Rate | Percentage of checks with appetizers, desserts, or premium items |
Exporting Data
All table reports can be exported to CSV or PDF for offline analysis. Scheduled email reports can be configured to send daily or weekly summaries to the management team.
