Table turn
The number of times a single table is occupied by different guest parties in a service period. Faster turns drive revenue per square metre, but pushing too hard hurts experience and tips.
Table turn in day-to-day operations
Operators meet table turn at three moments: when a system is first configured, when a second outlet opens, and when margin is reviewed. At each point the practical question is not the definition but who owns it, where the data lives, and how quickly a discrepancy surfaces.
If table turn lives only in a spreadsheet or in a manager's head, it drifts. When it sits in the operating system alongside tickets, recipes, payments and delivery commission, a discrepancy shows up the next morning instead of at month end — and that gap is where the money is.
LOOP handles table turn inside the same POS, KDS and inventory platform, running on devices you already own rather than dedicated hardware. Browse the full F&B glossary or see LOOP pricing.
