Hi Michael. First of all, setting the pk to the pk of a different model will do nothing.
You can do this however, using Foreign Keys <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ForeignKey> restaurant = models.ForeignKey('Restautant') Then declare a new hotel object like this: restaurant = Restaurant.objects.get(name='Will soon be a hotel') Hotel.objects.create(restaurant=restaurant.pk) What does the "Place" table represent?
