What is a Table Plan?
A table plan (or seating plan) maps which guest sits at which seat on which table. It drives place cards, the food pass and the front of house report, and is usually the last thing finalised before an event.
Drag and drop table planning, with the client managing their own plan, has replaced spreadsheet diagrams at most modern venues. See the full guide to event seating plan software.
