Direct them to the lone table, and... hello, there are four adults waiting and a foal. Looks like a mare and stallion of relatively youngish age, a much older stallion and mare, and a filly.

I've never been in a club before, and to meet an owner at that…he must want something special! But I'm just a humble clerkpony. If he wants me to work at his establishment serving tables or something, I'll have no choice but to turn him down. But he said it's 'one-off,' so maybe I have to deliver something. I don't know what it could be, but I won't look a gift monkey in the mouth.

The booth is not a corner booth, and while squeezing in seven foals is maybe reasonable for a family with five foals, for seven adults, it's not desirable.
They do, however, seem to be willing to hold out a little longer.
Note that the outdoor tables have bench style seats and thus, like the booths, more easily accommodate more than four guests

It would be more reasonable then to switch places between the 7 and a couple, placing the larger group outside and giving the booth to one of the couples.

Amber's a little upset that customers were discouraged. Still, it's inevitable if the whole establishment is crowded.
I can't force customers to eat and leave faster…can I?

I believe the original family of four received one of De Sew’s combo table-booths that opened up. There should currently be the mother and her two fillies, the two stallions and two mares, and the couple that just showed up with the stallion in uniform.
