How do you calculate the people capacity for a function room?

To calculate the people capacity for a function room, you need to consider the total available square footage and the type of seating arrangement planned (e.g., banquet, theater, classroom). A general rule of thumb is to allocate about 10 square feet per person for a theater-style setup and around 15-20 square feet per person for a banquet setup. Additionally, factor in space for entrances, exits, and any necessary equipment or furniture to ensure comfort and safety. Always comply with local fire codes and regulations for maximum occupancy limits.
