Awesome Etiquette: Your Table Is Ready...And Hurry Up

Courtesy, Seat-Me
Online apps make it easy to reserve a table at your favorite restaurant but most places also impose time limit parameters on your table.

It is now easier than ever to make reservations for dinner at your favorite hot spot via online apps. But while this tool is great for making sure your table is ready and waiting when you arrive, it also comes with some drawbacks, namely the restaurant's desire to turn over your table quickly so they can reserve that table for the next set of diners and add to their bottom line.

In the end, the best etiquette a restaurant can show is to always aim to give the customer a stellar dining experience. That, in turn, is what will create repeat customers and add to the restaurant's success.
