If the main impediment to dining at a restaurant was having to reserve a table, I think that would be a real possibility. But the main impediments are usually cost, complexity in getting to the restaurant, unfamiliarity with how good the food and service are, agreeing with the rest of the party about the timing, etc.. The actual booking of a table is a minor stepping stone on the road from the thought to the actual execution of the plan.
