## Table Turnover Rate Calculator

URL: https://minimalpos.com/tools/table-turnover-calculator

Table turnover is how many times a table is used during a service. Enter your table count, how long service runs and how long guests typically stay, and this works out turns per table, covers per service and revenue. Then adjust the dining time to see exactly what ten minutes is worth.

### Features

- Turns per table and total covers per service
- Revenue per service and per available seat hour
- Sensitivity view — what saving 5, 10 or 15 minutes is worth
- Handles reset time between guests
- Works per section or for the whole room

### How it relates to MinimalPOS

Turnover depends on how fast a table can be ordered, billed and reset. MinimalPOS keeps orders moving from the floor to the kitchen without re-entry, and reports table performance so you can see which sections actually turn.

**How do you calculate table turnover rate?** Divide the length of the service by the average time a table is occupied, including the reset between guests. A four-hour dinner service with a 75-minute average stay and 15-minute reset gives about 2.7 turns per table.

**What is a good table turnover rate?** It depends entirely on format. A fast-casual counter may turn a table five or six times over a lunch service, while a fine-dining room turning twice in an evening is doing well. Compare against your own history rather than an external benchmark.

**What is revenue per available seat hour?** RevPASH is revenue divided by the number of seats multiplied by the hours of service. It is useful because it captures both how full you were and how much each guest spent, in one number.

**Should I try to turn tables faster?** Only to a point. Rushing guests damages the experience and the review score, and the extra cover is worth nothing if it costs you a regular. The productive gains are usually in the dead time — how quickly a bill lands and a table gets reset, not how fast people eat.
