I am a foodie and someone who likes to eat at michelin star restaurants, and I would never eat at a place that has paid reservations. And why would anyone wait if anyone can just pay to get a table before them? Could a 10 minute wait turn into hours if "Express" customers keep showing up? What prevents people from just going elsewhere? This platform seems to fundamentally misunderstand why people eat out.
Wow! I’d think people would cut back on the tips if they have to pay such a premium.
