What Does it Mean to Flip a Table in The Restaurant Industry?
Flip table comes from restaurant terminology. To flip a table in the restaurant industry means to serve a party, deliver the check and move them along so the next party can be seated. When a server seats, serves and then delivers the check to guests, then clears the table and seats another party, that is a flip of that table – another phrase is table turn.
