Smart Table Seating Planner

Enter your guest list, get a perfectly seated dinner in one minute

Inspiration: Quality Service

Traditional event planners hand-craft seating charts for private dinners, leveraging deep knowledge of each guest's identity, relationships, and preferences to keep every table lively and comfortable.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Manual seating requires tons of social insight and experience: hosts must memorize dozens of guests' preferences, relationship closeness, and potential conflicts—time-consuming and error-prone. Ordinary people hosting weddings or family dinners often seat guests randomly, leading to awkward silences.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Users simply import a guest list with light relationship tags (colleagues, old friends, personality notes). AI computes optimal seat combinations, generates a visual round-table or long-table seating map, and provides conversation-starter cards for each guest.

Key Features

  • Import guest list with simple tags, generate seating in one click
  • Avoids conflict pairs, seats compatible guests together
  • Visual round/long-table layout with instant drag-and-drop reseating
  • Per-guest conversation starter cards to prevent awkward silences
  • Share the seating map digitally or print table cards

Target Users

Families planning weddings, birthdays, or home dinners; small event organizers; community activity coordinators

Business Model

Free for small events (≤20 guests) + per-event unlock for larger layouts + seasonal subscription for wedding planners
