Can I make ADR for others and not be on the reservation?

I thought I could, but when I practiced making a reservation for dining it automatically seems to add me to the reservation. I want to make my daughter and her boyfriend a reservation for just the two of them. We are connected on MDE if you need to know that!

yes! I made all reservations for our group of 9 and was able to make our friend the primary on all reservations. The only issue is that you won't be able to modify it on your MDE.

Yes, as above, when it asks you who will manage the reservation, it will default to your name, but you can change it to one of theirs.

Ohhhhh so I will have to do it on the computer, the app doesnt seem to allow me to change the default. Thank you all!

As a side note - I'm the planner in our family, even when I'm not going on the trip. I typically leave myself as the primary so I can manage it (cancel or modify if needed), and I've never had an issue. I make sure my sister is one of the guests so that she can check in and handle things on site, but they've never cared whether or I was in attendance or not. The only potential issue would be the credit card guarantee (or prepay) - my family knows the drill, but if you're making them for someone, just make sure they know YOU will be charged if your card is on file and they don't show up.
