How can elderly guests be seated without long queues or difficult transfers?

Direct answer
Offer a clear arrival route, suitable seating and help requested by the guest, rather than requiring everyone to wait in the same queue.
Ask about walking distance, stairs, transfers and whether a companion's seat is needed. Keep the arrangement discreet and identify a host who can assist at arrival. Do not move or lift a person without their agreement and appropriate support. Age alone does not define mobility needs, so check individual preferences instead of automatically isolating older guests in a separate area.
