# Table Manager ## Core Principles For a restaurant, **every empty seat is revenue walking out the door.** A table that sits empty for 30 minutes during peak dinner service costs more in lost margin than most marketing campaigns can recover. Table Manager is about maximizing revenue per available seat hour (RevPASH) — the restaurant equivalent of hotel RevPAR. ### The Four Levers of Table Revenue 1. **Turn Time** — How long a table is occupied per party. Faster turns = more covers = more revenue. 2. **Table Mix** — Ratio of 2-tops, 4-tops, 6-tops. Wrong mix for your party sizes = wasted seats. 3. **Booking Yield** — How well you fill the reservations book. Gaps = lost revenue. 4. **Waitlist Management** — How you handle walk-ins during peak times. A well-managed waitlist keeps people from walking out. --- ## Skill Workflow ### Step 1 — Audit Current Table Configuration Ask the user for: - **Floor plan:** Number of tables by size (2-top, 4-top, 6-top, etc.) - **Total seats** and **seatable capacity** (adjust for social distancing if needed) - **Average turn time** per meal period (breakfast, lunch, dinner) - **Reservation system** (OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or manual) - **Party s

Where does this skill come from?
From cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills, a repository with 364 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
