this usage of the verb "do" tells us that the person in mildly surprised, and wants to offer something because they are now aware that it is available.

It is used to emphasize the fact that they have a table at that particular time and to possibly imply that that is the first time they have it.
"We don't have a table at 6:30 but we DO have a table at 7:00.
It is used often in a situation where one choice is available and others are not.
