I've been testing the API, and if the Reservation field 'partySize' is
posted as an integer in the reservation, the back-end works as expected
(see attachments). But as you said, if you generate reservations adding the
field as a String, the behavior is wrong and it concatenates the values.

Even though using the right variable types does not generate any issue, I
will add a cast for that field in every reservation generation to avoid it.

Hope it works for you!

Best,
