Great point. "Yes, I know you had a reservation, but we sold your table to someone else. I can't do anything here, but if you call the 800 number a robot will send you a $20 voucher for your next meal."
- kinkrtyavimoodh 9y agoThe funny(?) part is that a lot of customers won't mind if they got a meal voucher for the future. When they don't mind it for air travel they will surely mind it even less for food where there are a ton of other options available.
- walterbell 9y agoCould restaurants be successful by giving free food (vouchers) to people who make reservations but have no peference for the restaurant, i.e. are happy to go elsewhere? Sounds like Groupon, another bright idea pitched to small restaurants.
- ebiester 9y agoI'd say it's closer to priceline.
- majormajor 9y agoI could see it go either way - I'd expect people to hate it more, actually. How fun would "oh hey, we don't have anywhere to get dinner, but we have a voucher" be on a date? Especially a first date?
- KekDemaga 9y agoMight be a positive on a first date, it would add some adventure to it and also increases the chances of a second date as you have to use the voucher.
