What is average seat turnover?

Average seat turnover refers to the number of times a seat in a venue, such as a restaurant or theater, is occupied by different customers within a specific timeframe, typically a day. It is calculated by dividing the total number of customers served by the number of seats available. High seat turnover indicates efficient operation and high demand, while low turnover may suggest issues with service or customer flow. Understanding this metric helps businesses optimize seating arrangements and improve overall profitability.
