+===== Seating =====
+Each of the diners is assigned a seat, relative to the start of their reservation, so:
+  - The first Walmart diner will be seated on the first seat of the first table in the Purple Room.
+  - The 11th Walmart diner will be seated on the first seat of the second table in the Purple Room.
+  - The 215th Apple diner will be seated in the 5th seat in the 22nd table of the Purple Room.
+  - There are 5 diners from both CVS Health and General Motors seated at table 13 in the Green Room.
+  - There are 5 diners from AT&T and 15 diners from General Motors at table 21 in the Orange Room.
+===== The Analogy =====
+In this analogy each of the rooms represents a Zone, each of the seats represent a slot and each of the bookings represents a Repository.
+A booking can occupy one or more rooms, and a room can be occupied by one or more reservations.
