To **manage venue capacity and room layouts**, register each space with capacity by layout — theater, classroom, banquet, cocktail — link bookings to the chosen layout, check guest counts against limits, and create setup tasks with layout diagrams.

In **Jestor**, spaces, layouts, and bookings are connected, so every event fits its room.

## Why do layouts cause problems?

Sales promises a layout without checking capacity. Setup teams receive vague instructions.

Rooms are overcrowded or set up incorrectly, and changes happen at the last minute.

## What problems does layout management solve?

- Overcrowded rooms
- Wrong setups
- Vague instructions for setup teams
- Last-minute changes
- Safety risks from exceeding limits

## How do you manage layouts in Jestor?

1. **Register spaces** with capacity by layout.
2. **Attach layout diagrams** to each option.
3. **Link bookings** to a space and layout.
4. **Validate guest counts** against limits.
5. **Create setup tasks** with diagrams and times.

| Layout    | Typical use   |
| --------- | ------------- |
| Theater   | Presentations |
| Classroom | Training      |
| Banquet   | Dinners       |
| Cocktail  | Networking    |

## How do validations protect events?

When guest counts exceed the layout's capacity, a validation blocks confirmation.

Sales sees the limit before promising.

## Where should you start?

Record capacity by layout for your most booked spaces, with diagrams, and use them for every new booking.

## What mistakes should you avoid when you manage venue capacity and room layouts?

- Promising layouts without checking capacity.
- Sending setup teams without diagrams.
- Changing guest counts without rechecking limits.
- Ignoring safety limits set by authorities.
- Not recording accessibility requirements for each layout.
- Forgetting time needed to change layouts between events.
- Not sharing diagrams with external suppliers.

## Why use Jestor for venue layouts?

- **Space records**: capacity by layout.
- **Diagrams**: attached to each option.
- **Validations**: limits enforced.

Capacity limits follow venue rules and local safety regulations, which the venue defines and records in Jestor.

Layout data also shows which configurations are booked most, guiding furniture purchases and helping sales suggest the right space quickly when clients ask for availability. It also speeds up quotes.
