Seating is the part of event planning nobody enjoys. Two hundred guests, twenty tables and dozens of rules: this family together, that couple apart, the VIPs at the head table. Planners worked it out in spreadsheets and on sticky notes, and every RSVP change or day-of swap cascaded through the whole chart.
Automated Seating is iHQ's own product. The planner sets the rules once and the engine seats every guest, with every rule respected, in under three seconds. When something changes, the planner says so in plain language, such as "Bob cancelled, re-solve", and the plan rearranges. Conflicting rules are explained before the solve, and the print-ready chart, table cards and place cards export in one click.
Change the plan. Watch it re-solve.

- 02 · What we builtBuild
An engine that solves the whole room at once and explains impossible rules before it tries. A floor plan to adjust by hand, a chat to adjust in words, and one-click exports.
