How many covers can a waiter/tress manage
Discussion
Anyone know typically how many covers a busy waiter/tress can cover in a full service restaurant? Think reasonably high turnover of customers who may eat 2 courses and need drinks. Good example of such a restaurant might be a good piza restaurant.
friend of is looking at opening a restaurant, and i think he's planning on being understaffed (he thinks he's overstaffed). Kitchens are fine- its front of house i'm worried about.
Ideas?

How big is the restaurant, is it just a restaurant or is it a pub, will it have an outside dining area?
Where is it located, city, rural, high street, beech front?
What style of food, classic English, modern gastro style?
How big is he planning on having his wine list?
How much is he planning on sell his food for?
There all contributing factors to how many people one person can look after and not receive a complaint resulting in loss of earnings for the and loss of tip for the staff member. At a punt though I’d say a decent waiter/waitress could look after 20 people.
