I would normally find a table first but I guess if you realise that there are other people already waiting for a table to free up then it would be courteous to let them have it first. I don't see why you need to have ordered your stuff and be there holding it before you try and find a table though, what if none comes free for ages and you're just left standing around like a wally unable to drink or eat what you've just bought
