We have a dinner event coming up. I would like to be able to allow clients to book the dinner as individuals who can bring guests along all at the same price each or give the option for a table of 6 (who we would know had been booked together so we can seat them together) and allow them to choose the entree they would like served. I can create the event. I can add on the custom field for a radio button to choose their entree, but I'm having a difficult time having it add 6 entree choices for tables of 6. Is this possible? I would also like to possibly add a field for each guest's name. I think I am approaching the problem the wrong way.
We don't have an option for displaying the table plan, but you can create tables in the place where our employees are, and give customers the option to pick one of the tables.
You can also set minimum and maximum capacity for each table and disable the option "Allow booking below minimum capacity". We made this option for this kind of use case since it works in the way that once some customer books above minimum capacity it automatically closes this time slot for the particular table so other customers (that don't know each other) can not fill in the table until the maximum capacity is reached.
Please just be aware that at the moment each employee (table) would need different email set in the profile but there is a workaround if you plan to use Gmail or Outlook mail.

Hello Bill,
Amelia can be used for table booking.
We don't have an option for displaying the table plan, but you can create tables in the place where our employees are, and give customers the option to pick one of the tables.
You can also set minimum and maximum capacity for each table and disable the option "Allow booking below minimum capacity".

Let me know if you have further questions!
Kind Regards,
