Empty Full
The pale block — breakfast and mid-afternoon, every day — is capacity that already exists and costs nothing extra to fill. That's what MKT-01 is aimed at, not a fourth location.
Breakfast and mid-afternoon carry the least demand of the day
Same staff, same lights, same rent already paid for — the gap is guests in the seats, not capacity to seat them

Sales per available seat hour is the metric that says whether an empty 9 AM seat is worth chasing — a seat that's 41% full at $5.20 is a different problem than one that's 92% full at $14.10, even on the same floor plan.

This is what sizes REV-01
The answer-after-N-rings assistant gets scoped by this number before a dollar is spent building it — and no bot ever sits between the Village and its guests. A guest who reaches a human gets a human.

Waitlist Me stays — the floor loves the one-screen simplicity. This page captures the data it currently throws away; it doesn't replace the floor screen.

Quoted vs. actual wait All locations

Estevan
±2 min
Royal Oak
±3 min
Torquay
±7 min
Torquay's quoted wait runs a few minutes optimistic against what actually happens — the same floor that's already over on labor is also the one over-promising on the door.

Small parties spend more per cover; large parties still fill more seats per turn. Neither is wrong, but the ratio moves what a timed offer is worth pushing.

Nothing is shown to the guest. Opt-out is honored. It only surfaces what a good server already would have remembered — the twelfth regular on the list gets the same recognition as the first, on a Saturday night, from whoever happens to be on the floor.
