Seating design is one of the most overlooked techniques that can be used to get customers moving quickly. When comparing square versus round tables, square tables have been proven to shorten the turn cycle time. Moving more tables away from walls can make a restaurant seem busier, which can also stimulate guests into moving at a slightly faster pace throughout their meal. In many cases, techniques like these can reduce the table times by more than 15 minutes, allowing for one or even two more turns on those seats, allowing operators to generate additional revenue.
