Update the table availability information in the database to reflect the assigned table.
Handle cases where there are no available tables that meet the party size requirements, providing appropriate feedback or error messages to the user.

Consider incorporating a table reservation priority system to accommodate special requests or VIP customers.
Monitor and log any instances where the automatic table assignment algorithm encounters issues for further analysis and improvement.
