How to achieve better table management
Reduce no-shows
No-shows are the thorn in every restauranteur's side. Missed revenue through customers who fail to turn up can quickly start to have a large financial impact on the venue's bottom line. From deposits and card authentications to friendly SMS reminders and email prompts, our table management software can work to encourage customers to either show up or cancel bookings in advance. You can learn more about reducing no-shows in this article.
Understand your table turnover
Understanding the average time spent in the venue for each group size is a great way to start looking at your table turnover. By calculating your maximum capacity covers and pulling average spends from your POS system, you’ll be able to forecast revenue in your restaurant. By setting up maximum sitting times for each table and group size, your table management system will allow you to best optimise your bookings and the number of covers you’re able to seat each day.
Maximise space and increase staff efficiency
An easy way to increase revenue is by maximising the space in your venue with our restaurant floor plan software. Most table management solutions offer a floor plan view, allowing you to create a bird's eye view of the table layout to ensure they’re getting the most out of the space available. Digital table management solutions give you a live view of free tables, helping to process customers faster, seat bookings more efficiently and maximise walk-ins. You can also increase staff efficiency and drive more revenue by teaming your floor plan with staff designated to areas of the venue. When planning for busy periods, dedicating staff to ‘zones’ of the restaurant can help to deliver the best service and speed up table turnover time.
Take bookings consistently
If restaurants receive bookings through multiple platforms, it is important to make sure that your staff and table management system work together to manage this effectively. Whether it’s from your website, over the phone, email or social media platforms, staff must be trained to input these bookings to avoid crossover and poor organisation. Table management software can ease this and increase efficiency, with optimised systems able to input into your floor plan from all channels.
Restaurant table management software FAQs
What is table management in restaurants?
Table management is, in its simplest form, a way of managing tables in your restaurant to keep track of bookings and ensure a simplified check-in for guests. The most effective table management will allow you to maximise bookings, streamline operations and boost customer satisfaction.
From your local pizza place to a nationwide chain, each restaurant will have its own form of table management - whether it be a trusted old diary with the pages falling out, or a more advanced software solution. Different systems allow for different levels of functionality, from more simple floor plans to in-depth customer tracking.
What does restaurant table management software do?
Our restaurant table management software helps restaurants to maximise their floor space, by effectively laying out tables in a way that enables them to accommodate the most guests.
It sounds simple, but it’s not just about layout. Restauranteurs don’t always know how many guests they’re going to get each shift. There are so many variables that could impact what seemed like a perfectly organised service.
No-shows, additional guests turning up to what was already a large party booking, or an unplanned event nearby that leads to an influx of walk-ins.
There are so many things that could happen during service, that restauranteurs need a solution that can quickly and easily accommodate changes, so they can have the freedom to focus on what’s important, creating great guest experiences.
How can restaurant operators effectively manage tables?
Restaurant operators can manage tables in one of two ways, either manually using good old-fashioned pen and paper, or digitally using one of the many table management solutions on the market.
