Transitions between seasons may feel like a routine change, but it’s also a critical moment to reassess restaurant layouts, streamline indoor dining operations, and adjust staffing needs to maintain service quality and maximize seating capacity after patio closures.
With the Aldelo Express Table Module, restaurant operators can easily update floor plans and staffing to prepare for patio closures quickly and efficiently, ensuring a seamless shift from patio to indoor-only dining.

Simplify Floor Plan Updates in Real Time
Closing patios doesn’t have to disrupt restaurant workflows. The Aldelo Express Table Module makes it easy to modify digital floor plans in real time, whether removing outdoor dining areas, rearranging indoor dining tables, or designating new service zones. Managers can visually organize sections by server assignments, dining zones, or table sizes, giving staff a clear, updated view of the new layout at a glance.
This flexibility allows operators to maintain optimal seating strategies and prevent congestion during peak hours, which is especially important when all guests are now dining indoors.

Match Staffing Levels to the New Layout
When outdoor tables are no longer in use, staffing requirements often shift. Use the Aldelo Express Table Module to monitor table turnover, guest flow, and service times to adjust labor schedules accordingly. With fewer sections to manage, operators may need fewer front-of-house staff on slower days, but well-trained servers can be assigned more efficiently across available tables to maintain top-tier service.
The Table Module and back-office reports help managers identify high-traffic times and table usage patterns, so the business is never under- or over-staffed, even as customer demand changes with the season.
Improve Coordination Between Staff and Guests
As the indoor dining space becomes busier, smooth communication between the front- and back-of-house teams becomes essential. Aldelo Express synchronizes table statuses in real time, so staff are always informed. Text-based alerts for customers on table waitlists provide smooth and convenient communication between staff and guests. Plus, servers can monitor real-time table statuses directly from their tablet POS or handheld POS device, streamlining table turns and allowing accurate wait time estimates for hungry guests.
This means faster table turns and a better overall guest experience, contributing to happier guest experiences when seating is more limited.
