A TABLE RESERVATION is an arrangement made in advance to have a table
available at a restaurant. While most restaurants do not require a reservation, and some
have no policy or simply any channel for making one, the so-called higher-end restaurants
mainly in overcrowded cities often require a reservation, and some may have tables booked
for weeks in advance. At particularly exclusive venues, it may be impossible to make a
reservation on the same day as the planned visit.

Here are some advantages and disadvantages of accepting table reservations.

● SPECIAL OCCASIONS
On these occasions, aside from the profit it will yield, taking reservations can
be an opportunity for restaurants to advertise what they offer, what makes
them at par with their competitors while ensuring customer satisfaction.
● FAIRNESS
Some restaurants require their guests to make a reservation week or even
months before their desired date. To be fair, some restaurants decide to run
purely on a first-come, first served basis.

However, waiting time can be extremely long at places like these; this is why
accepting reservations makes it easier for restaurants to prioritize these
guests should other guests opt to just walk-in.
● HIGHER CHECKS
Usually, guests who make reservations either hold a large party or simply
plan for a special event. These occasions result in increased revenue on the
part of the restaurant.
● ABSENT CUSTOMERS
When the serving party does not show up, sales suffer. The reservation
made by the party concerned forces the restaurant to turn away other sales-
generating customers for that scheduled time. Some restaurants charge a fee
