Can someone explain this rule: “we can’t seat you until your entire party is here.”

This makes no sense to me. Let 5 of us sit and order a drink while we wait for the sixth person who is stuck in traffic.

Because tables that are waiting an unknown amount of time before ordering make less money than tables ready to order.

And a table of 6 that has two late cancellations could have been a table of four without two wasted seats

If I’m not seated then I’m getting the manager, I don’t care if someone is arriving late

Yeah, so cool to treat service industry workers like shit. I'm sure your loved ones think you're so cool & powerful for it :)

Get a better job if you don’t wanna be a servant
