Table management for the real world
Keep the room balanced through late parties, walk-in rushes, and VIP edge cases — with tools that help the whole team make the same good decisions.
One live diary your team can trust — so you stop running service off memory, screenshots, and Slack threads.
Build a plan that survives change. Make quick adjustments without breaking the room or creating admin.
Keep control of capacity and risk on the services that matter most — without turning hospitality into spreadsheets.
From prep to peak — keep the floor moving
Start with a plan everyone can trust
Open the diary and see the full picture—bookings, expected covers, and the shape of the room. When the plan matches reality, the host stand stays calm, and the whole team hosts with confidence.
- Switch between Calendar, Bookings list, and Floor Plan so every role works from the same live picture.
- Keep notes where they’ll be seen during service, not lost in handovers.
Make the next best decision in seconds
Late parties, early arrivals, and walk-in surges happen fast. Admin can’t be the bottleneck. Seat, wait-at-bar, mark running late, move parties, and finish tables quickly—so the floor keeps flowing.
- Update floor state without digging through forms, so the team stays aligned even when the room gets noisy.
Keep capacity under control—without killing hospitality
Prime time is where the night is won. Limits shouldn’t be guesswork or a spreadsheet someone remembers to update.
Use slot-level booking and cover limits, and override when it’s the right call—so decisions feel fair to guests and sensible for revenue.
Keep rules consistent across shifts and venues, then make one-night adjustments without breaking the base setup.
Handle closures and exceptions without chaos
Closures, private areas, and last-minute changes can throw the diary off and create avoidable disputes.
Schedule openings/closures for the venue, areas, or tables—so availability reflects reality and the team stops guessing.
Search past or future bookings quickly, and print a simple diary view when the team needs it.

Table management FAQs
Can we handle walk-ins with this?
Yes. The goal is controlled flexibility — add walk-ins by area, use recommended options, or choose tables manually without losing visibility.
Will it work with our current layout?
Yes. TableSense supports your existing floor plan and lets you control availability by venue, area, and table.
Is it only for big venues?
No. Smaller venues benefit most when every table counts and prime time is precious.
