How does one track the seating requirements for a restaurant?

Seating

There are many types of reservation books and seating charts in use, all serve the same purpose, such is to allow the host or hostess at one glance to see what's going on. All reservation books log the same information: Date, time, name, expected guest-count and phone number. At some places the seating chart and reservation book are one and the same, at others a seating chart is created prior to dinner time from information provided by the management and reservation book. The seating chart differs to the reservation book as to table number and waiter's station assignment. Certain guest one might want to seat in a certain station, some customers expect a certain waiter, better tables are given to the VIPs.
