Restaurant independent single-seat show scenario calculator

Calculate attendance distribution by seated count and overflow probability with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use attendance distribution by seated count and overflow probability to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Attendance distribution by seated count (JSON)

Start [1]; convolve each probability p with [1−p,p]. Index is attendee count.

Overflow probability

Sum distribution probabilities for attendee count>seats.

Expected excess attendees

Sum max(0,count−seats)×probability.

Symbols and units
a
Show probability for each one-seat booking
b
Available seats (count)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Independent Bernoulli shows by one-seat booking; multi-seat correlated parties unsupported. Supported limits: All numeric inputs and computed intermediates must remain finite. Supported numeric input magnitude is zero or 1e-12 through 1e12 in absolute value; reject values outside this bounded range. All lists/JSON record tables are limited to 100 records unless a stricter bound is stated; reject malformed record arity and wrong member types. 1..100 one-seat independent booking probabilities in [0,1]; integer seats>=0.
