- Fixed table
- A fixed rule reserves a guest’s table. It does not describe a physical chair position or an accessible route.

Table constraints cannot describe every seating need
This finds one valid allocation, not the best social arrangement. Review wheelchair space, entrances, service access and individual preferences separately. Change the editable rules and run again when a guest or table changes; the original input remains available for that review.
Questions about Constrained Seating Chart
Can I reserve a specific chair?
The fixed rule selects a table, not a chair coordinate.
What if rules conflict?

Are guests contacted?
No. You choose how to use the local cards or files.
