Same Table Seating allows multiple bookings to share tables up to maximum capacity, automatically placing customers together to maximize space efficiency, while ensuring bookings are not split across several tables. 

Key Benefits

  • Flexible Implementation: Use it as your venue's default setting or activate it only for specific events like quiz nights or wine tasting experiences
  • Seamless Customer Experience: No added complexity or time requirements for your guests
  • Complete Control: Easily manage seating arrangements with simple adjustments when needed
  • Perfect for Bench Seating: Ideal for venues with communal seating layouts similar to Wagamama's style

How It Works

When enabled, the system automatically assigns customers to available seats at partially filled tables before opening new ones. This continues until each table reaches maximum capacity, optimizing your space usage.

You maintain full control over when and how this feature operates—apply it venue-wide, for specific time slots, or exclusively during special events that benefit from communal seating arrangements.
