On paper the dinner schedule was balanced. In the room, the first 40 minutes of the push were chaos and the last hour was overstaffed.
TableIQ read arrivals and coverage off camera and surfaced a coverage shape no labor report had ever shown — understaffed at the door, overstaffed by close.
They re-cut the same total hours against real arrival demand. No added labor, just put where the guests actually were.
How we measured it
Arrivals and on-floor coverage measured per 15-minute interval from camera, compared against the posted schedule.
