Maitre'd works for weddings, corporate dinners, galas, birthday parties, school events, and any gathering where you need to assign guests to specific tables.
Maitre'd uses a constraint-satisfaction algorithm (CP-SAT solver) to find the arrangement that satisfies the most rules. If a rule cannot be fully satisfied, the optimizer minimizes violations and flags them so you can decide how to resolve them manually.
