But Stan, how would you know if you don’t turn up?!
Could it be that some Restaurants are not very good with food and service?
Totally fair enough. I think this will become the norm in the Uk and elsewhere too. It is considered quite acceptable by some to book several restaurants for the the same day and time and then decide at the last minute which one they will go to. Restaurants are businesses like anny other, and only make a living when people eat at the table, not when they book it.
This problem is not just in Mallorca, but all over. A deposit before hand for all, then perhaps no shows would be more inclined to turn up. Empty tables reserved can cost a lot of money.
