01 · Record the first operation
What the team finds
The lobby has a waiting party while a suitable table has finished resetting in another section. Compare live table status, party size and the approved section plan.
02 · Decide at a later review
Who acts, and what changes
Responsible team · Host and floor manager
The host sees the ready table and seats the party; the floor manager balances the next covers across sections. At the later review, the team adjusts section opening and host handovers.
03 · Verify in the next comparable operation
How the team checks the result
At the next comparable service peak, compare lobby waiting, ready-table idle minutes and covers by section using the same table-status definitions.
