Frequently Asked Questions

What is a banquet seating layout?

Banquet seating uses long rectangular tables with guests seated on both sides. It is common at wedding receptions, galas, award dinners, and large formal events.

How many seats per banquet table can I configure?

The tool supports 8–12 seats per banquet table. You can choose from pre-built configurations (4 tables × 10, 6 tables × 10) or request a custom row layout.

Can I mix a head table with banquet tables?

Yes. Add a head table preset for the wedding party, then add banquet table presets for the reception guests. Both appear on the same chart.

How do I track meal choices for a banquet?

In the Roster, add each guest's meal choice from your catering menu. The Caterer Report in Export shows per-table meal counts and allergy flags.
