In table service, the term 'cover' refers to

The number of tables in a dining room

The number of guests served

In table service, a cover means a guest seated and served. It measures how many guests a server or the dining room is handling during a service period, which is why it best fits the concept of workload and service flow. It’s not the number of tables, the number of courses, or the number of servers on duty, since those are different aspects of operations. Knowing the number of covers helps with staffing decisions and estimating revenue per seating.

The number of courses offered

The number of servers per shift
