Seat a large party when no table or combination fits

Take the booking yourself and join several tables, or set up a combination so the party size can book online next time.

2 min read

In short: create the booking on the Day Planner and join tables with Combine tables. Add a combination so the size books online next time.

If you see Over capacity for this time, check the time, then click Create anyway or Change time.

If it will not work

Picking a table drops the one you picked before

With Combine tables off, picking a table that seats the party on its own replaces your choice. Turn on Combine tables first, then pick every table. It turns on by itself when no single table is big enough, or when you pick a table too small for the party. Turning it off keeps only the first table.

The booking will not save

Check the counter shows Seated or a number over, not more needed, and that every table is free at that time.

Email support at agent@stampede.ai with:

  • The exact error message.
  • The date, time and party size.
  • A screenshot of the tables you picked.

Let this size book online

  1. Go to Bookings › Combinations, then choose your venue.
  2. Click Create combination.
  3. Pick the Tables in this combination.
  4. Set Min capacity and Max capacity, then click Create combination.
  5. If your booking types use Custom table selection, add it to each one.

Good to know

  • Online bookings only offer a party size that fits a table or combination.
  • Allow staff override (Bookings › Main Settings › Day Planner) decides whether staff can book outside the online rules. Only Admin, Moderator and General Manager can always override.
  • When it is off, other roles book in restricted mode, with a banner showing the limits.
  • For very large groups and private hire, enquiries may suit better.
