Covers-per-transaction is a checkout-time proxy — order time is decoupled from purchase, so this estimates party size rather than measures it. Prior speed analysis was inconclusive — illustrative.

Seating anxiety at the peak

At the peak the risk is tray-and-nowhere-to-sit. Combined tables behind the gate give families a clear place to land, and a greeter at the gate seats them faster — fewer guests hovering with full trays, shorter perceived wait.
