How To - Summary Tab


Summary Tab Explained

The Summary tab provides a high-level overview of the restaurant's activity for the day.

Key features and uses of the Summary tab include:

  • Data on the total number of reservations by party size (1-2 people, 3-4 people, etc.).

  • It shows the average length of time guests spent at the tables.

  • It displays the average wait time for guests.

This reporting data can be very useful for managers to identify operational issues, such as high numbers of walk-aways, which could indicate problems with staffing or table turnover.

The manager can then use this information to make informed decisions to improve the restaurant's efficiency and customer experience.
