GGB Table turn
How many times a seat is resold in a service. Same rent, more covers.
Table turn is covers served divided by seats available in a service period. Rent is fixed per month, so every additional turn spreads the same rent across more covers. Turns are engineered through pacing, menu design and kitchen speed, never by rushing guests out of a premium experience; the right target depends on concept.
Turns = covers served ÷ seats available
Measure per service period (lunch, dinner), not per day, or slow dayparts hide inside the average.
Illustrative: a 60-seat room serving 150 dinner covers has turned 2.5 times. At an AED 70 average check that is AED 10,500 for the service; at 2 turns it would have been 120 covers and AED 8,400. Half a turn is worth AED 2,100 a night in this room.
