How it works
- Set out the room. Round, long and head tables, a dance floor, a stage, the bar and the door. Drag them into place; they line up and never land on each other.
- Seat your guests. Paste the list with families and groups as parties, then drag guests or whole parties onto tables, or let auto-seat spread them evenly.
- Print the plan. The room chart, a card for each table and a find-your-table list, on A4 or Letter, or save them as a PDF.
Seating a corporate dinner
- Decide first whether the night is for teams or for mixing. Teams together makes for an easy, loud night; mixed tables meet people they email but never see.
- Put a host at every table with clients: someone who knows both the guests and the agenda, so no client sits among strangers.
- Seat award nominees and speakers on the aisle nearest the stage, so the walk up is short and the cameras can find them.
- Keep the leadership spread out rather than all at table 1, unless the evening is a formal top table.
- Print the alphabetical find-your-table list for registration, and a card for each table with its list of names.
Teams together or mixed tables
- Teams together: paste each team under its name ("Sales:") and auto-seat keeps each team at one table, spread evenly across the room.
- Mixed tables: paste everyone without party lines and auto-seat spreads them evenly; then drag the hosts to the tables you want them at.
- Keep-apart rules (with the unlock) stop auto-seat putting two people at one table, such as competing account managers.

Questions
Is the seating chart maker free?
Free to start, with no sign-up: plan and print up to 30 guests at 4 tables, with the room chart on one sheet and a card for each table. Bigger plans, keep-apart rules for auto-seat, the alphabetical find-your-table list and 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 posters use a single one-off unlock that covers every OneJob tool. It is not a subscription, and you can have a refund within 14 days.
Are my guest names uploaded?
No. The plan is made in your browser and guest names never leave your device. If you leave "Remember this plan" ticked, the plan is saved in this browser only, so it is here next time; untick it and the saved copy is deleted. No tracking cookies; one functional cookie keeps your unlock.
How do I add my guest list?
Press "Edit or paste guest list" and paste one name per line, from a document or a spreadsheet column. Put a party name on its own line ending in a colon ("Moreau family:") and the names under it, with a blank line after the party; or write the party in brackets after a name, "Jo Lee (Lee family)", or paste two spreadsheet columns, name and party. Guests already on the list keep their seats.
How does auto-seat work?
Auto-seat seats everyone without a seat and keeps everyone you placed. Each party sits together, beside any of its members already seated, and guests are spread evenly across the tables rather than filling one table before the next. A party is split only when no table has room for all of it, and head tables are filled last. With the unlock it also keeps apart any pairs you mark.
Can I seat guests without dragging, on a phone or with a keyboard?
Yes. Tap or select a guest (or a party name) in the list, then tap a table, or pick the table from the "Seat at" list and press Seat. Pinch or use the + and − buttons to zoom, and drag the empty floor to move around. With a keyboard, Tab to a table and use the arrow keys to move it.
What can I print?
The room chart (a map of the room with every table and its guests) on one sheet, a card for each table listing who sits there, two to a sheet, and with the unlock an alphabetical find-your-table list for the entrance and the room chart as a 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 poster tiled across A4 or Letter sheets. Press "Print or save as PDF", and turn off the browser's headers and footers for the cleanest result.
How do I put the poster together?
Each sheet has corner marks and a label such as "Row 1, column 2". Trim each sheet along its marks and tape the sheets edge to edge in that order. Names are kept whole on one sheet, never split across a join.
Will I be charged again?
No. The unlock is a single payment with nothing to cancel, and it covers every seating plan after this one and every other OneJob tool. It is saved in your browser. No tracking cookies; one functional cookie keeps your unlock.
