1
Restaurant sets the room
Managers build tables and sections, mark eligible inventory, and choose Fixed, Dynamic, or Express rules.
How it works
Simple enough for the host stand. Powerful enough for the owner.
Seatd connects reservations, waitlists, guest choices, staff seating decisions, Floor Map context, and demand-based access revenue without taking final control away from the restaurant.

Built to protect the host stand
Seatd gives guests more options without taking control away from staff. Hosts still use their eyes, table knowledge, and final judgment.
Fixed and Dynamic reservations arrive with booked time and table context. Express protects priority for the next qualifying table. In every model, party size, table eligibility, current guests, and host judgment still matter.

What the restaurant actually gets
RS
Reservations and walk-ins
Seatd organizes expected guests and live walk-ins without treating them as the same operational moment.
Example: A 7:00 reservation can be protected while a new walk-in remains visible in the ordinary waitlist.
Review the workflowGC
Guest communication
The guest sees simple status language while staff keeps access to the real party details they need.
Example: The public display can show Party 29 while the host stand still shows name, party size, phone, and notes.

Manager reporting
Managers get demand and access signals without forcing hosts to become analysts during service.
Example: A manager can see game-day pressure and pause Express if the kitchen or floor needs recovery time.
