| I am quite happy to leave a credit/debit card number upon booking to show my 'bona fides' if asked. In fact the mere act of volunteering to do so is often enough. It just seems daft to have a booking system and then deny a table to someone who wants to use it. I can see both sides though. I was at my favourite Indian restaurant yesterday and they had had fifteen people book for Saturday night, order food and then 'change their minds' while the food was being prepared. I think I have now persuaded him to take a credit card deposit for big parties. He's a lovely guy and losing half his restaurant (he has just over 30 covers) to people like this is unfair. |
