In brief: software for dim sum restaurants

Two weekend services can outweigh the entire week.
Table turn time decides how many covers fit in a peak.
Dozens of small dishes each need their own cost.
Steaming capacity limits the kitchen, not the stove.

The weekend is the business. Saturday and Sunday lunch can produce more than the five days around them, so staffing, ordering and preparation all have to be sized for two services rather than for an average.

Turning tables is the whole peak. Ninety minutes against two hours changes how many parties are seated on a Sunday, and knowing the real average is what makes a queue manageable rather than infuriating.

Every small dish has a cost. Forty items at similar prices hide very different margins, and without costing each one a restaurant cannot tell which trolley favourite is quietly subsidising the rest.

Steamers set the pace. The kitchen's output is limited by how many baskets can be going at once, so a menu that adds another steamed item is a capacity decision rather than a culinary one.

Frequently asked questions about software for dim sum restaurants

Why size everything around the weekend? +

Because two services can outweigh the other five days. Staffing, ordering and preparation planned on a weekly average will always be wrong for both the peak and the quiet days.

Does table turn time matter that much? +

It decides the peak, and the figure is never the one people assume. Measure it on a Sunday rather than a Tuesday, and count a table of two separately from a table of eight, or the booking slots end up wrong in both directions.

Should each dish be costed? +

Forty items at similar prices conceal very different margins, and only per-dish costing shows which popular basket is being subsidised by everything else on the trolley.

What limits the kitchen? +

Steaming capacity. Output depends on how many baskets can run at once, so adding another steamed item to the menu is a capacity decision before it is a culinary one.
