seatings
Dining room placements
Seatings is the plural of seating, referring to multiple arrangements or sessions where people are seated.
A restaurant with limited capacity might offer two seatings per evening: The first seating is at six, the second at eight-thirty.
The word also covers different seating configurations: We tried several seatings before finding one that worked for the reception.
