What does building a Table Management app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Table Management app
Real-Time Table Status Board
View every table's current status — open, seated, ordered, dessert, check dropped — from a color-coded floor map or list view. Hosts and managers see availability at a glance without walking the floor.
Seating Assignment & Party Management
Assign walk-ins and reservations to tables based on party size, server sections, and table availability. The app suggests optimal seating to balance server workloads and minimize empty seats.
Wait Time Estimation & Guest Notifications
Estimate wait times based on current table turn rates and party sizes in queue. Guests receive a text notification when their table is ready, reducing lobby congestion.
Turn Time Analytics
Track average table turn times by day of week, meal period, and party size. Identify bottlenecks in your dining flow and measure the impact of operational changes on throughput.
