What is Table Turn?

Table turn is how many distinct customer groups dine at a table in a single shift. Higher table turn = more revenue from the same number of tables. Dine-in QR ordering typically improves table turn by 20-30%.

In detail

If your restaurant has 20 tables and each table serves 2 customer groups during the dinner shift, your table turn is 2.0.

Customer-initiated QR ordering improves table turn because customers don't wait for a waiter — they order the moment they're ready. Less idle time between sitting and ordering means faster total dining time.

Restaurants that move from paper menu + waiter-taken orders to QR menu + customer-ordering report 20-30% lift in table turn during peak hours.

Why it matters for your restaurant

Understanding Table Turn helps you evaluate restaurant software properly, talk to your tech vendors with confidence, and make better-informed pricing and operational decisions.
