For the life of me I can’t understand people who don’t follow the instructions on our reservation site and call the restaurant for larger party reservations.

Tonight a woman called to see if her two five top reservations can be seated together. Also they are four tops now.

The truth is we could have seated them together.

But.

It would have meant that two servers would have lost four covers each. And a server who was already going to get more than her co workers would get 8 additional covers.

Plus. You caused us to lose reservations today if we give your two tables away because I told people all day we were full.

And all of this!

I repeat.

All of this could have been avoided if they’d just called.

Also.

They made the reservation almost two months ago. There would have been availability but alas they decided not sitting with their family as a whole superseded just calling.

I’ll never understand it.
