The problem
Guests leave and the table sits dirty for 10 minutes before floor staff notice — the next party waits at the door.
Floor staff rely on walking the floor to spot empty tables — it's inconsistent and misses busy corners.
Some tables get a quick wipe; others are properly set. Guests notice the difference.
During lunch and dinner rush, every extra minute a table sits dirty is a cover lost and revenue gone.
Managers don't know if average turnover is 4 minutes or 14 minutes — so there's no baseline to improve from.
Turnover speed and table cleanliness vary between outlets with no visibility from above.
What FlowLinks tracks
Detects when guests leave a table and starts the turnover clock — no floor staff observation needed.
Alerts floor staff when a vacated table has not been cleared within your target time.
Confirms when a table has been cleared and wiped before the next party is seated.
Measures table-to-table time per sitting — and flags tables taking longer than the service target.
Average turnover time per table and shift — the data needed to drive consistent floor performance.
Compare turnover speed across all outlets and identify which sites need floor process improvement.
Table turnover
By detecting when guests leave, tracking table-clearing time, and alerting staff when a table needs attention, FlowLinks helps restaurant teams reduce turnaround delays and improve seating efficiency.
How it works
FlowLinks connects to floor cameras with coverage of your dining area — no new hardware.
Define each table zone and set your target clearance time — FlowLinks starts watching immediately.
When guests leave, the clock starts. If the table isn't cleared in time, the alert fires.
Floor staff get instant alerts. Managers get shift reports with turnover time data to drive improvement.
