December 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #105: Multiple Seatings

Tip of the Week

Most restaurants allow for dinner two hours before they take another reservation for the same table. For most diners two hours are enough for a drink, a salad, a main course, a dessert and the check, throw in a cup of coffee or what-have-you. However there are always some guests who are done with dinner in less than an hour and others who make it an all-night affair arriving at seven and leaving at midnight.

The seating chart, as commonly used in restaurants, is a helpful tool to plan, fit, hold and move reservations. It helps the host-person to adapt to any guest´s reservation wish. Despite what the customer thinks, reservations are not carved in stone.
