    Hi VivekN 
    As an alternative to displaying the table number directly on the scatter markers, you may want to enhance the use of tooltips to improve usability. By configuring a rich tooltip, you can display key details such as the table number, total seats, occupied seats, available seats, and even a status indicator when users hover over a marker. This approach keeps the visual clean while still allowing users to quickly identify and understand each table without needing to click on it, making it a practical workaround given the limitations of the native scatter chart.

VivekN You could use a scatter chart with a simple table that listed the table number, x and y coordinates and whether the table was full, empty or partially full. Maybe instead have number of seats available total and number of seats filled. Then you could create a measure that you use for conditionally formatting the colors.
