Which statement about pivot seating is true?

• A. It assigns servers by color.
• B. It uses seat numbers around the table to track who had what.
• C. It is used to rotate tables.
• D. It is used to decide tipping order.

Answer: (B)

Pivot seating is the system used to track who had what at a table by assigning and using seat numbers to identify each guest. This approach keeps every item and service tied to a specific seat, so as staff rotate duties or multiple servers handle the table, everyone knows exactly which guest ordered or received which course. Using seat numbers around the table to track who had what directly supports accurate service and reduces mistakes, which is why it’s the correct statement. The other ideas aren’t part of pivot seating: color coding servers isn’t the tracking method, rotating tables is about table layout rather than order tracking, and tipping order isn’t determined by this seating approach.
