Cabaret Seating - Your Experience?

Hi everyone:

Have you been successful at setting up a Cabaret facility in Tessitura?  I've searched the forum and didn't land on anything.

We did one cabaret run last season. Seating preference went to donors and subscribers, then the general public. We did not reserve tables. Patrons arrived, an usher had a list to confirm priority and they were sat on a first come first serve basis.

At another venue, we reserved tables using  a seat map in Excel and adding names to the map based on seating choice. Tables were numbered and tickets had the corresponding table numbers on them. An usher lead each person to their table as they arrived.

We'll be doing the same this season and I'd love to hear how others handle the seating and if you had any success in TNEW with cabaret seating as well.
