1. Select the revenue center, click Setup, and then click Reservation Periods.
2. Open the reservation period record.
3. Click the General tab, and then click the Seating Limits subtab.
4. Click the Add link.
5. Enter information in the Seating Limits fields:

   Table 43-19 Seating Limits

   Field	Description
   Begin Time	Enter the time when the defined Seating Limit begins.
   End Time	Enter the time when the defined Seating Limit ends.
   Capacity	Enter the number of covers in the party. The Capacity value cascades to lower values if you do not set a lower value. For example, if you set a capacity of 4, the cover includes requests for a party of 1 through 4. However, setting a lower capacity of 2 applies to parties of 1 or 2, and the capacity of 4 applies to parties of 3 or 4.
   Quantity	Enter the number of reservations available for the Cycles within the timeframe. The Quantity determines how many reservations to allocate to accommodate the capacity between the Begin Time and End Time for each Cycle that you set on the Acceptance Limits tab. For example, you can allocate a quantity of 2 reservations every 15 minutes between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. that accommodate a cover count of 2 or fewer. This value only defines the number allotted and does not represent the current inventory.
