Chocolate Tasting Party RSVP Website: Flight Counts, a Seat Cap, and a Milk Line

A chocolate tasting party breaks when the shop plated sixteen flights and twenty-two people are at the bar, or when someone who said maybe arrives after the last pour and expects a flight that was already set. Flights, the number of seats the shop will hold, and the milk line you agreed to are set before the first piece is plated. The shop does not melt another batch because a friend decided to come after the piece count closed. A maybe does not hold a flight.
