About this tool
What the Table Turn Rate Calculator does
Table turn rate is the number of parties seated per table during a service. Combined with average spend it determines revenue capacity. Revenue per available seat hour (RevPASH) measures how well a restaurant uses its seats over time.
Formula
- Turns = parties ÷ tables
- Covers = parties × average party size
- RevPASH = revenue ÷ (seats × hours)
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Parties served | 96 |
| Tables | 24 |
| Seats | 80 |
| Service length | 4 hours |
| Average party size | 2.6 |
| Average spend per cover | $38.00 |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Table turns | 4.00 |
| Revenue per available seat hour | $29.64 |
| Covers | 250 |
| Revenue | $9,485 |
| Average time per turn | 60 min |
| Seats used per turn | 78.0% |
How to read the result
Seats used per turn shows how well party sizes match table sizes; two people at a four-top wastes half the table.
Faster turns help only if they do not cut spend or guest experience.
