Why does it ask for an email?

So you can send sellers the set-up details. This template turns on “Ask everyone for an email address”, and only you and anybody helping you run the page see the addresses.

What happens when the tables are gone?

The row is marked full, and nobody else can claim one. If a seller cancels from their own link, the table opens up again.

Can a household take two tables?

Not while “One sign-up each” is on. Turn it off under “Change how people sign up” if you have room to spare.
