Per-person pricing lets you charge a combination of a base unit price and an additional charge per guest. This is particularly useful for table reservations where the cost depends on both the size of the booking and the number of people attending.

​
How per-person pricing works

When you enable per-person pricing on a booking tier, the total cost is calculated as: 
Total = (unit price × quantity) + (per-person charge × number of people)
For tickets: The number of people automatically equals the number of tickets. You don’t need to set it separately. For reservations: The customer specifies how many people are in their party (within the min/max range you set).

​
Examples

​
VIP Booth — table reservation with per-person pricing

  • Unit price: €500 per booth
  • Per-person charge: €50 per guest
  • Customer books: 1 booth for 6 people
Total: (€500 × 1) + (€50 × 6) = €800

​
Booking 2 booths for larger parties

  • Same tier as above
  • Customer books: 2 booths for 12 people
Total: (€500 × 2) + (€50 × 12) = €1,600

​
Ticket with per-person service fee

  • Ticket price: €30 per person
  • Per-person charge: €5 (booking fee)
  • Customer books: 4 tickets
Total: (€30 × 4) + (€5 × 4) = €140 (For tickets, quantity and number of people are always equal.)

​
How it appears to customers

Depending on your configuration, the booking summary shown to customers reflects the breakdown clearly:

Unit price only”€30 per ticket”
Unit + per-person (tickets)“€30 + €5/person”
Unit + per-person (reservations)“€500/booth + €50/person”

​
Setting per-person pricing on a booking tier

  1. Open the booking tier editor in the admin panel.
  2. In the Pricing section, enable Per-person charge.
  3. Enter the per-person amount.
  4. For reservations, set Min guests and Max guests to define the valid range.
  5. Save the tier.

​
Per-person pricing and minimum spend

Per-person pricing can be combined with minimum spend requirements. The minimum spend is also calculated per unit and per person: 
Minimum spend = (min spend per unit × quantity) + (min spend per person × number of people)
See How do I set a minimum spend? for details.
