Restaurant capacity planning

Restaurant capacity planning is about making considered decisions about what a restaurant can offer for each service. It examines the relationship between reservations already accepted, tables, areas, open availability and changes that may affect the way a service is organised. This topic helps managers move from a broad sense of being busy to a specific review of upcoming commitments and booking options. Articles provide practical frameworks for checking service capacity before continuing to take bookings, reviewing areas and tables and making availability decisions that the team can follow. Capacity planning is especially valuable when the expected operating picture changes and managers need a clear basis for action.
