Moving a Guest Without Dragging
This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.
Background and constraints
A fictional host reviews seating on a phone. Table one initially has four guests and table two has two, and Alex has asked to sit with Ellis.

Planning process
The host generates the six-person plan, opens Alex’s destination selector and chooses table two. The result changes from four-and-two to three-and-three while retaining every name. This provides the same assignment operation without requiring precise pointer dragging.
Result explanation
Table two has spare capacity, so the move is valid. The new table membership can be reviewed immediately in both lists. The host saves after the change so a refresh restores the revised allocation rather than the original generated order.
Alternative
Use keyboard focus and the native select control on desktop. If the destination is full, first create space or agree on a swap; do not silently overfill the table.
Execution notes
Confirm the request directly with the affected guests. The tool records the chosen destination but cannot infer social preferences from names.
