This allows multiple tables to be combined and booked together for larger guest reservations. **In this article:** - [Types of Table Grouping](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/table-grouping#types-of-table-grouping) - [Old Table Grouping](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/table-grouping#old-table-grouping) - [New Table Grouping](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/table-grouping#new-table-grouping) [![](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-30-2025-02-45-31-3608-AM.png?width=670&height=353&name=image-png-Oct-30-2025-02-45-31-3608-AM.png)](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/table-grouping#old-table-grouping) The **maximum number of guests** a customer can select on the reservation widget is determined by:  1. Your **table capacity ([max covers](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/setting-minimum/maximum-number-of-covers-per-table)),** and ![](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2025-03-37-23-0016-AM.png?width=670&height=463&name=image-png-Oct-31-2025-03-37-23-0016-AM.png) 2. [Maximum covers per reservation](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/how-to-add-a-new-shift)  ![](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2025-03-39-36-5912-AM.png?width=509&height=584&name=image-png-Oct-31-2025-03-39-36-5912-AM.png) If there’s **no single table** that can accommodate the number of guests set as the maximum, the widget will not display that maximum guest option. **Table grouping** will allow you to combine multiple tables to accommodate larger parties. When table groups are set up, the system automatically assigns large reservations to these groups, providing a smoother booking experience and eliminating the need for guests to create multiple reservations for one large group. ### Types of Table Grouping - **Old Table Grouping** (Recommended)**:** In the old table grouping setup, you must **manually define** which tables can be grouped together. The total number of covers available for a group is based on the combined maximum capacities of the tables in that group. Each **possible table combination** needs to be configured manually. If any table within a group is already booked, that combination becomes unavailable for new reservations. For example, if you want to allow different grouping options, you’ll need to create each combination separately — such as: - Tables **1-2-3-4-5** - Tables **1-2-3-4** - Tables **1-2-3** - Tables **3-4-5** and so on. - **New Table Grouping:** You simply select the tables that are allowed to be grouped. The system will then automatically create and assign the best table combinations when a guest makes a booking online. #### How to group your tables using Old Table Grouping 1. Sign in to [Table Manager](https://app.eatapp.co/) 2. Under the **Availability** tab, go to **Group Tables** 3. **Toggle OFF New Grouping** from the top of the page.  ![Table grouping](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20KB%20Images%202025/Table%20grouping.png?width=644&height=403&name=Table%20grouping.png) 4. Choose the **tables** you want **to group.** The **minimum** and **maximum covers** are indicated on the **upper part**  for your reference.  ![table group 2](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Mitos%20New%20Upload%20for%20KB/table%20group%202.png?width=670&height=445&name=table%20group%202.png) 5. Click **Create Table Grouping** to finish the process. To create multiple table group combinations, you can either repeat the same process or click the 3 dots beside the group created, select **Duplicate**, then add or remove tables from the grouping as needed. #### How to group your tables using New Table Grouping 1. Sign in to [Table Manager](https://app.eatapp.co/) 2. Under the **Availability** tab, go to **Group Tables** 3. **Toggle ON New Grouping** from the top of the page. 4. Select the tables you want to group and then click **Update table links**. ![table grouping updated 2](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Mitos%20New%20Upload%20for%20KB/table%20grouping%20updated%202.png?width=670&height=412&name=table%20grouping%20updated%202.png)   - [Eat App Overview](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/eat-app-overview) - [Getting Started](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/getting-started#main-content) - [Get set up with the most useful things on EAT App in less than 30 minutes](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/getting-started#get-set-up-with-the-most-useful-things-on-eat-app-in-less-than-30-minutes) - [Layout](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/getting-started#layout) - [Permissions and Preferences](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/getting-started#permissions-and-preferences) - [Feature Guides](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#main-content) - [Views Management](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#views-management) - [Multi-Restaurant Support](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#multi-restaurant-support) - [Managing reservations](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#managing-reservations) - [Waitlist](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#waitlist) - [Widget](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#widget) - [Guest Messaging](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#guest-messaging) - [Restaurant Tags](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#restaurant-tags) - [Users](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#users) - [Server/Waiter Management](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#server-waiter-management) - [Guest Database](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#guest-database) - [Payments](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#payments) - [Restaurant Reports](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#restaurant-reports) - [Guest Reviews](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#guest-reviews) - [Restaurant Automation](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#restaurant-automation) - [Offers/Discounts](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#offers-discounts) - [Layout](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#layout) - [Restaurant Billing](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#restaurant-billing) - [Printing](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#printing) - [Customer Support](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#customer-support) - [WhatsApp Messaging](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/feature-guides#whatsapp-messaging) - [Integrations](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/integrations#main-content) - [Wix Integration](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/integrations#wix-integration) - [Payment Integration](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/integrations#payment-integration) - [MCP Servers](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/integrations#mcp-servers) - [FAQs](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/faqs) - [Troubleshooting](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/troubleshooting) - [Release Notes](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/release-notes) - [Partnerships](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/partnerships) - [Documentation](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/documentation#main-content) - [Widget setup](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/documentation#widget-setup) - [Navi](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/knowledge/navi) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://restaurant.eatapp.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Eat%20App%20Logo-2.png?width=48&height=24&name=Eat%20App%20Logo-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://restaurant.eatapp.co) Help Center Copyright © 2026, Grow ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "caption" : { "@type" : "MediaObject", "contentUrl" : "https://restaurant.eatapp.co/media-transcripts/198732901442/en.vtt", "inLanguage" : "en", "name" : "en Captions" }, "contentUrl" : "https://3390327.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/3390327/Allyzza%20-%20KB%20Files/Old%20Table%20Grouping.mp4", "dateModified" : "2026-02-14T01:37:27.804Z", "duration" : "PT57.1S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "Old Table Grouping", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://3390327.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/3390327/Allyzza%20-%20KB%20Files/Old%20Table%20Grouping.mp4/medium.jpg", "uploadDate" : "2025-10-30T05:55:10.959Z", "width" : 1920 } ```
