Table Reservation
A table reservation is an arrangement made in advance to have a table available at a restaurant. While most restaurants in the vast majority of the world do not require a reservation, and some do not have a policy or simply any channel for making one, so-called higher-end restaurants mainly in overcrowded cities often require a reservation, and some may have tables booked for weeks in advance. At particularly exclusive venues, it may be impossible to make a reservation on the same day as the planned visit. The modern reservation system evolved from the prior practice of arranging catering at a restaurant. Today, at such venues, observes Joy Smith, author of ''Kitchen Afloat: Galley Management and Meal Preparation'' (2002): "It's always smart to inquire about a restaurant's reservation policy. Some will only reserve for large parties of six or more". In recent times, many restaurants have replaced the traditional pencil and notebook with an online reservation system. Some websites ...
