What seating decisions affect
Every seating choice changes server workload, kitchen pacing, guest wait perception, and the next available table.
What the software should show
Hosts need table status, party size, section pressure, reservation timing, waitlist order, and where the next party can fit without overwhelming service.
How this connects with host stand tools
Reservations, waitlists, recorded floor status, section staffing, and service context should stay visible together. A suggestion is reviewable context, not an automatic seating instruction.
What needs internet?
Online reservations need internet. Eligible Hybrid can keep supported seating work available on the installed Windows computer, while separate tablets need internet. Test how floor changes reconnect, how staff resolve conflicting updates, and how to recover before relying on the setup.
