Numbers that matter
What are covers in a restaurant?
Why restaurants count covers
Covers show how busy you were, and help you plan staff and stock. Sales divided by covers gives the average spend per guest.
Covers vs orders
One order can be one cover or eight. For dine-in, covers say more about how full you were than the order count does.
How AppZet Billing handles it
