FAQs about our seating chart maker
What does your seating chart maker do?
It takes your list of names and assigns everyone to tables automatically. Enter your names, set the number of tables and seats per table, and the AI generates a complete seating arrangement in seconds.
From there, you can drag tables around the canvas, rename them, change colors, and move guests between seats.
How does your seating chart generator work?
Add your names one per line, enter your table count and seats per table, and hit generate. The AI distributes everyone across tables. If you have specific requirements, like keeping certain people apart or grouping a team together, add them in the requirements field, and the AI will take them into account. Once the chart is generated, everything is editable directly on the canvas.
Can I use this as a classroom seating chart generator?
Yes! Teachers use it to arrange students into desk groups, lab pairs, or classroom table clusters. Add your student roster, set how many tables or groups you need, and generate a classroom seating arrangement in seconds.
You can also add requirements based on what you know, like 'keep Emma and Liam apart' or 'put Sarah and James at the same table', and the AI will take them into account.
Can I use this for events and fundraising dinners?

Can I move guests after the chart is generated?
