Ideally I would account for all of it. But I need to start somewhere, and I don't think looking for all-in-one solution is a good path. So just know how many people are sitting and don't care what they are ordering or who is standing up, is enough for now.

Why not just track the number of people who walk in and out?

How much added value does the sitting aspect add, considering that it would cost a lot of if you had to retrofit these onto your seats?

probably a good solution too. I think it will depend on the kind of business. Thanks

Knowing how many people walk in and walk out tells you how many customers you served but can't tell you how long any one of them stayed. Knowing how long a specific seat was occupied can.
