occupancy limit

Room's people cap

An occupancy limit is the maximum number of people allowed in a space at one time, typically set by fire codes or building regulations for safety reasons.

Signs in restaurants, theaters, and event venues post the figure: Maximum occupancy: 150 persons.

Exceeding the occupancy limit can result in fines or forced evacuation.
