Restaurants Enable Customers To Select Their Own Tables Online
With all the doom and gloom lately, we wanted to share an interesting restaurant innovation out of Spain. The restaurant chain Wagaboo offers a reservation service that allows diners to select their seats in advance. Similar to the way in which you can select your seats for a flight, prospective diners can enter the number in their party, seating preferences and other criteria and view a restaurant map showing their table options.
“Diners can proceed with the reservation, or choose from any other available tables during that period suitable for their party size, which are marked with green dots. By taking a look at the restaurant maps online, diners can make sure they don’t get plunked down next to the hostess stand, bathroom r entrance to the kitchen; always dreaded restaurant placements, or choose whether they’d like to dine near the front, back, or in an area with fewer tables. This prevents unpleasant arguments between patrons and the restaurant management when they demand to be moved to a better table when all are full. A more pleasant dining experience is had by all when reservations are made through Wagaboo’s website and its own form of transparency tyranny.”
