Ray Camillo is the founder and CEO of Blue Orbit Restaurant Consulting, where they advise restaurants on a number of issues from menu development to business plans. He joins the podcast today to talk about the science behind how restaurants seat their guests and explain ways the process can be made more efficient.

“The problems that people have are mostly related to how they seat and how they manage their front door,” Camillo says. He suggests that poorly defined roles for those who work at the front desk contributes to the issues further into the restaurant.
