How do you manage venue capacity and room layouts?

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
