Have a seat is an invitation or instruction to sit down.
It's slightly more casual than "please be seated" but can carry authority depending on context—a host offers Have a seat, make yourself comfortable, while a detective in an interrogation room says Have a seat as a command.
The phrase implies a chair or bench is available.
