Hi Everyone,
Following on to the Pop Up Skill Builder we had today about Physical Distanced Seating, we want your input on an algorithmic or automated approach to accomplishing this.
1. We want to build the automated feature if members will actually be able to use it and derive value from it. Is this something that you are thinking would be "nice to have" if you decide you can operate with reduced capacity, or is it something that would be required for you to successfully operate with reduced capacity? Keep in mind that automated doesn't necessarily mean it will be the most efficient or profitable way to do physical distancing, but may save you staff time or improve the patron experience. For those of you that saw the webinar, would you be able to reopen using the features we demonstrated?
2. If we build an automated physical distancing feature,do you have suggestions or considerations that we should take into account? We have, for example, considered allowing you to set a seating group X and Y offset, such that any seated group would have seats around it automatically held according to that offset, creating a buffer. What comments on that approach, or other suggestions do you have?
Many thanks, we look forward to the open conversation about this with you.

Hey there, interested to hear if point 2 (automated physical distancing feature) has made any headwind? We were interested in incorporating this almost condition-based seating automation for our 2021 season.
Following this thread as we would also be interested in an algorithm that would allow our patrons to SYOS and not allow disparate parties to seat next to one another. We've done a work around for our outdoor stage, but with a strong likelihood of moving indoors, it's definitely something we'd be interested in.
