Sections can now have their own custom quoting algorithm where the wait at each section of the restaurant can be quoted differently.

Table combinations will only be presented in the 'First Available' section and not in the individual section preferences.

Suggested Seating
For walk-in parties, hosts may struggle to work out what table would be best to seat a party at to maximize their dining room and to best satisfy the party. Olo Host can now suggest the best sections and tables to seat walk-in parties at, removing the host from having to decide.
How It Works
Hosts can enter a new party's size and the Olo Host app will show the availability of all sections of the dining room and tables they can be seated at:
Additional Information
- For sections that don't have available tables, hosts can see the current wait per section.
- For suggested sections, Olo Host also takes into account the server rotation. Hosts can see the names of servers for each section and choose the section/server to distribute reservations fairly.
- Suggested seating requires restaurants having loaded all their table capacities and table combinations, and mapped them to sections.
