Smart Seating Planner for Dinners

Enter your guest list and get a no-awkward-moments seating chart in one minute

Inspiration: Quality Service

In traditional event planning services, professional planners review guest lists and manually design table seating based on relationships, roles, and social dynamics to ensure every guest feels comfortable.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Professional seating service is costly, and ordinary people hosting family dinners or birthday parties get no help. Balancing complex guest relationships is hard, and last-minute additions force a full redo—easily resulting in cliques or awkward seatmates.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Users simply enter guest names with basic relationship tags, and AI generates a round-table seating chart using social-relationship logic—avoiding conflicting pairings, placing key guests appropriately, and re-optimizing instantly when the headcount changes, with a shareable chart output.

Key Features

  • One-tap seating chart from a tagged guest list
  • Auto-detects conflicting pairs to prevent awkward tablemates
  • Smart placement of hosts and key guests for everyone's comfort
  • Re-optimize instantly when guests are added or dropped
  • Exports a shareable seating image to send via messaging apps

Target Users

Families hosting home dinners, weddings, and birthday parties, plus small business owners organizing team dinners

Business Model

1 free table per event + pay-per-event unlock for multiple tables + revenue share with wedding planning agencies
