Seating Arrangements
Aside from the main traffic areas, allow 54" between round tables for chair and service space and 60" between oblong tables where seating is back-to-back. This permits 24" service space behind 18" chair depth. Where food service is not required and seating is one side of the table, allow 36" between tables.
While this may vary with degree of aisle comfort required, 36" distance between rows of chairs will suffice.
A Rule Of Thumb
Banquet-Style Seating To determine the number of people your room will accommodate: *Oblong tables--divide the room area (square feet) by eight. *Round tables--divide the room area (square feet) by ten. These figures are for maximum seating. If space is available for more comfortable seating, allow additional two square feet per person.
