Restaurants have good reasons why they can't seat incomplete parties, and it's not because they're trying to ruin your meal. Even if you order drinks and apps while you wait for your friends who are running late, it still has a ripple effect. A host breaks down why incomplete parties can't just wait for stragglers at the table.
But the next day I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I asked the following questions in the form of an Instagram story:
I’m no influencer, but I did receive over 100 responses — enough to prove that neither my friend nor I are alone in our opinions. The majority of respondents expected to get seated whether or not the rest of their party has arrived. Whether or not people get annoyed is more split . For those who do get annoyed, most understood why they weren’t getting seated.My DMs are where I really got a sense of how polarizing this topic is.
There are people who are late , and then there are people who bail at the last minute. It happens. But often, especially in large parties, guests will not be able to make it. Here’s a common scenario: There’s a party of eight in the books and there’s only one table in the entire restaurant that can accommodate a party of eight. There’s also a party of eight on the waitlist, and everyone has arrived and is waiting outside.
