Example

Dinner: 18 tables, 45 parties. 45 ÷ 18 = 2.5 turns. One more turn across the room is 18 more parties, without another table.

What slows it down

Waiting for a waiter to take the order or bring the bill.
Food sitting at the pass.
A long wait to pay.

How Nivasik handles it

Each table shows its state, waiter and running total.
QR ordering and the waiter's phone cut the wait to order.
Food ready at the pass buzzes that waiter's phone.

What Nivasik does not do

Nivasik does not report a table-turn figure as its own number; you can work it out from bills per table.
