    Set Seating Duration by Party Size

    1 min read#5

    Different party sizes need different amounts of time at the table. You can create rules that automatically adjust the seating duration.

    Create a seating duration rule:

    1. Go to Bokning → Inställningar → Skift & Tider
    2. Under Sittlängd per gästantal, click Lägg till regel
    3. Enter:
      • Min gäster – e.g. 1
      • Max gäster – e.g. 2
      • Sittlängd (minuter) – e.g. 90 minutes
      • Gäller för skift – select Alla skift, see the limitation below
    4. Click Spara regel

    Example durations to adapt to your service:

    Party sizeDuration
    1–2 guests90 min
    3–6 guests120 min
    7–10 guests150 min
    11+ guests180 min

    How it works: The system matches guest count against the rules. Without a match, it uses Standard sittlängd (minuter) under Grundinställningar, otherwise 120 minutes.

    Limitation: A rule’s shift selection currently does not reliably restrict which booking uses it. A general rule takes priority over a shift-specific one. Use Alla skift and avoid overlapping guest-count ranges. Check the calculated duration when creating a booking; the shift’s own duration field is not used as the fallback.
