I would rather like something like this for Restaurants/Bars. There are times when I'm taking up a whole table and would gladly share with someone.

- wccrawford 10y agoI would think that a sign on the table would be a lot more effective. I've definitely had times in crowded restaurants that I was willing to share my table with people who were looking for one, but I'm shy and had no way to signal that without feeling like bad things were going to happen, so I just sat there. I think only 1 time did someone ever ask, and I let them. But if I had a sign that could signal that the other 3 chairs at my 4-person table were available, I'd use it, at least sometimes. An app, though? That just seems like a pain.
- Tyr42 10y agoI even thought of making little signs saying "Would welcome sharing a table" and putting them next to the cafeteria trays at work.
- mikepurvis 10y agoBoard game cafes usually have little signs for "come join us".
- joshmarlow 10y agoI've had the same experience. Agreed, signs would be simpler and a preferable user experience. But then you have to get every restaurant to produce/keep them or carry your own. Still you're right about the app being a bit of a pain.
