How to use it
- 1
Read the day-part bars
The horizontal bars show average dwell minutes per day-part. If dinner runs 90 min vs. an industry baseline of 75, you can plan two seatings of a 4-top instead of three. - 2
Use the heatmap to spot dead zones
The 30-day heatmap (days × hour blocks) shades by occupancy. Pale cells are slack — that's where promo codes, happy hour, or off-peak loyalty bonuses pay off. - 3
Drill into a specific table
Click any table to see its turnover trend over time. Tables that consistently dwell longer than peers might need re-positioned (next to a high-traffic area = faster turn). - 4
Set a target turn time
Per section, set a target turn time (e.g. dinner = 90 min). Bookings that approach the target without paying see a polite “ready to settle?” nudge in QR Pay & Order.
Gotchas & tips
Turn time is calculated from seated to cleared. If staff forget to clear the table, the average drifts up. The page warns when % of cleared tables is < 95%.
Heatmap colours scale per-restaurant — a quiet Monday at one venue is dark, but at another it's pale. Compare relative-to-self, not across.
