Spot seating instructions include moving in which direction?

• A. Forward
• B. Backward
• C. Counter clockwise
• D. Clockwise

Answer: (C)

Spot seating relies on a fixed, predictable path around the dining room so guests are seated quickly and in order. Moving in a counterclockwise direction around the room keeps the seating flow steady: you loop past tables and open spots in one direction, making it easy to spot the next available seat and communicate it to the host. This consistent pattern helps avoid collisions in the aisles, reduces confusion about which table comes next, and coordinates smoothly with bussers and servers as they clear and reset tables. Choosing the opposite direction or moving in and out randomly would create bottlenecks and make it harder to maintain a fair, orderly seating sequence.
