TOPIC: Registering for a Brunch

I am using DT Register at a banquet hall that have a Christmas Brunch. They have 3 times. 8:30am, 9:00am, and 9:30am. We are using limits on how many of those times they can sell, but how do i tie in the number of people sitting at a table. They don't want to oversell.

Example: the 8:30am time field has a limit of 10, which they can only sell the 8:30am time 10 times. But what if someone register 14 people and the business needs to combine 2 tables.

Any ideas. Would you use a conditional field? I've never done that.

Thanks

To clarify before I answer... there are 10 TABLES for each time? Or a limit of 10 people PER TABLE?

Let just say each time can have a maximum of 100 people eat breakfast. The tables are really irrelevant, because the restaurant can combine tables to accomodate large groups.

I can create a limit for a custom field for the times (8:30, 9, 9:30) but we are using the group registration. If a person registers and select 4 people in their group for the 8:30 time slot, will it subtract 4 from the 100 person per time slot maximum?

I guess my question is does the limit i set for the custom time slot field take in consideration the group number or just how many times someone can select the time slot? if so, is how can I accomplish this.

Thanks

If you are using simple group registration (where just a number for the group is entered), then the selection limit on our time selection field isn't going to work for you. If you use Detailed group registration, then you'd have a page for each member of the group, and each could have the time selection made. That may be overkill for what you need, but it would address the selection limit issue.

The option to consider would be creating a separate event for each time slot... then just use the built-in event capacity to control the 100 seat cap.
