Measure how efficiently your seats generate revenue during service. Input your tables, dwell time, and average spend to see your real throughput ceiling.
Understand how many covers your seating can realistically produce in a day — and what it is worth.
Turnover rate is one of the most direct levers café operators have on revenue — without touching pricing.
The number of times a seat is occupied and vacated in a single service period. A rate of 3.0 means each seat generates three paying covers per day.
Specialty coffee bars typically see 4.0–6.0 during morning peak. Full-service cafés average 2.0–3.5 across a full-day service.
Reducing average dwell by 8 minutes at 40 seats can mean 18 additional covers per service day without adding a single chair.
