On the other hand, reservations are an added value on top of the services provided by a restaurant, so it makes sense to charge extra. A restaurant is under no obligation to give reservations, and if they're always busy (e.g. if a reservation is helpful to you) then reservations don't confer any benefit to the restaurant.
- lisper 8y agoAbsolutely. If a restaurant wants to charge me for a reservation on top of the cost of the meal, and make me pay up front for that, I would have no problem with it at all. I like that a lot better than asking me to pay for the entire meal up front. But that's a very different model, with very different price-discovery dynamics, than what Tock does.
