Creating table combinations allows accommodating larger parties by merging tables and tracking them easily. To set up, go to Bookings, select the venue if needed, then in Configuration, open the combinations tab. Click "Create Combination" and configure details like name, active status, priority, tables included, party size limits, and accessibility options. Save to use in bookings and allocation. Higher priority combinations can manage peak times or events effectively.
Creating table combinations is a useful way to ensure that there are tables available for larger parties where your regular tables won't accommodate. It allows staff to keep track of tables that have been pushed together to sit these larger parties.
1. Go to Bookings
To set up table combinations, go to Bookings to open the dashboard.
(If you have only one venue, selecting Venues will take you straight to your Bookings.)
1.5. Select Venue
If you have multiple venues, you will need to choose the one you want to configure. Select venues to open the list.
Listed venues will pop up; simply select the one you want to configure.
2. Start a Table Combination
In the Configuration sidebar, find the combinations tab.
3. Configure Your Table Combination
Click Create Combination to create a new table combination. A pop-up will appear where you can enter the following details:
- Combination Name: Name your combination (e.g. 1+2)
- Active: Toggle this on to make the combination available for bookings
- Priority: A higher priority number means this combination will be used first when Stampede allocates tables (1 = lowest priority)
- Tables: Select which tables will be merged for this combination (e.g. Table 1 and Table 2)
- Minimum Party Size: Set the smallest number of guests the combination can accommodate
- Maximum Party Size: Set the largest number of guests this combination is suitable for
- Highchair: Tick this if the combination can support a highchair
- Wheelchair: Tick this if the combination is accessible for wheelchair users
- Buggy: Tick this if the space can accommodate a buggy
Once all fields are complete, click Save. Your new table combination will now appear in the list and can be used in booking rules and live allocation.
💡 Pro Tip:
Use combinations strategically for peak times or private events by assigning a higher priority to these; you can better control how Stampede allocates larger groups.
