What is a restaurant table management system?

A restaurant table management system is a software tool that helps restaurant owners and staff optimize their floorplan, maximize covers and seat guests more efficiently. Restaurants can integrate their table management systems with their restaurant operations tools like their POS system and CRM to improve customer service and drive the most revenue possible.

How can the SevenRooms table management system help maximize covers?

Our auto-assign seating algorithm tests more than 10,000 combinations per second to ensure you get the most out of your restaurant floorplan, helping you fit the most reservations and covers every shift. Plus, grid view lets you look at an entire shift at once. You can quickly assign reservations and walk-ins, update party statuses and view guest notes. Restaurant table management has never been so easy.

Can I use the SevenRooms table management system and still take reservations on third-party booking sites?

Yes. SevenRooms plugs into the booking channels you care most about via integrations with our hospitality CRM. We offer a direct integration with Google among many more across the globe, including Facebook, Instagram, TripAdvisor, Chope and OpenRice. Additionally, many restaurants use SevenRooms as their system of record for reservations, table management and CRM, while also leveraging third-party booking channels as paid marketing channels to drive awareness and capture new guests. We’d never block you from taking reservations from any channel you want. Instead, we focus on helping you drive bookings through direct and free channels first.

Which restaurant POS systems does SevenRooms integrate with?

SevenRooms offers integrations with more than 50 of the most popular restaurant POS systems, including Toast, Micros, Aloha, Lightspeed and more.

Does SevenRooms include restaurant floor plan software?

Yes. Floor plan management is built into the table management system rather than sold as a separate tool. Your team can edit the layout to match each venue, then set table capacities and reservation inventory by location. Custom table statuses keep the host stand view matched to what is happening on the floor right now. Learn how to structure yours in our restaurant floor plan guide.

Table Management

Table management system that turns your floor plan into a sales plan.

Every empty seat and slow turn is revenue your floor plan never recovers. SevenRooms’ table management system prepares your team, seats guests faster and keeps every shift running at full capacity, turn after turn.

Turn more tables without adding more stress to your floor management

Manual seating decisions slow down service and leave tables underused, even on a full night. SevenRooms’ table management system handles assignments, wait times, and turns automatically, so your team runs a consistent shift instead of guessing where the next open table is.

Know every guest before they sit down with real-time guest data alerts

Make every guest feel at home and enable your team to provide personalized service across your portfolio. SevenRooms builds 360° guest profiles from real-time data, so your team can spot regulars, high spenders and first-timers the moment they walk in.

One SMS line, not a dozen missed calls from your guests

A guest running 10 minutes late shouldn't have to call and wait on hold. SevenRooms gives guests a direct SMS line to your front-of-house team, so status updates happen in seconds, not phone tag.

Run detailed pre-service huddles, no prep necessary

A pre-shift huddle built on guesswork wastes the one window you have to prepare. SevenRooms’ automated pre-shift reports pull everything your team needs, from VIPs to cancellations, so huddles take minutes, not a manual walkthrough of the book.

“We do 4,000 covers a night. To be able to see who’s who and get them back in the door has had a big impact on our service. Being able to share guest data across properties helps us treat guests completely differently than before.”

“We come from high-volume, walk-in restaurants where every seat is full, all the time. As soon as we saw how SevenRooms’ auto-seating algorithm could help us fill the restaurant and turn tables more efficiently than we could, we knew we had to use it. Add on the marketing capabilities and feedback aggregation, and the system has been a game-changer for us.”

“One thing that’s been massive, really game-changing for us is the ability to create our own table statuses. For instance, we have one called Last Round, so we know if we need to go around and say to people, ‘Your reservation is ending in 30 minutes, so drink up!’ Little things like that have helped service and the host team on-site immeasurably.”
