Right, so the minimum number of people eating is the number of people we
have staying in Bosna -- Firstly, we need to make sure that if, for
example 20 of the people actually staying in the Bosna decide not to
bother with Lunch, that we can use their places for other people without
paying any extra.

Hmm -- previous experience tends to suggest that we will not know that.
At least not an accurate number, because a few people who are supposed to
be eating there will not bother, or will spontaneously decide to go with
some friends to a restaurant elsewhere with some friends.

It would also be nice to allow people who have not arranged in advance to
pay on the door, or collect some form of ticket from us (in exchange for
payment) so they can continue a conversation with people that are
registered to eat in Bosna that day.

Does that mean they have to know this in advance?

BTW how much warning do they need?

How far in advance do they need the numbers?
