Camping out in restaurants is irritating for everyone involved. Waitstaff hate campers since they take away seats that might otherwise be occupied by paying customers, while restaurant owners are annoyed at having to clean up messes left behind by patrons who aren’t willing to pay for food. However, there is one group of people who benefit greatly from camping out in restaurants: restaurateurs. They make more money when they charge a premium price for a table, and they know it. And they know that most of those people camping out in their restaurants are tourists, meaning they’re likely to come back again soon. So what do you think about camping out in restaurants? Would you ever do it? Do you think it’s fair to charge extra for a seat that isn’t being used? Let us know in the comments section below.

Comping is a great way to keep customers happy while increasing sales without having to spend money on advertising. But how do you know whether someone is actually being compensated? Here are some ways to find out. 1. Ask the server The best place to start is asking the person serving you. If he/she says no, there’s probably something fishy going on. If they say yes, make sure to follow up with questions like: • How much did I owe? • What type of deal was offered? • Was my meal free because I asked? 2. Check receipts

- A Restaurant Word You Should Know About In most restaurants, there are certain words you'll hear over and over again. Words like "service," "waiter," "cook," "manager." But one word you might not know much about is "corner." When someone says "corner" in a restaurant, it often refers to a turning point where things change direction. For example, if you're walking down a hallway and see a door on your left side, that's a corner. If you walk into that room, you've entered another part of the space. But what happens if you want to make sure everyone knows you're entering a different area? Well, you could say "I'm entering the kitchen now." Or you could just yell out "Corner!" So why do people use this term in restaurants? Why does it matter? And how did it start? Well, let's go back to the beginning...

Doublesitting is a common restaurant practice where servers take turns serving tables. If you haven’t heard of it, chances are you’re one of the few people who doesn’t do it. But, according to a recent survey conducted by the National Restaurant Association, nearly half of Americans say they double-sit — even though most restaurants offer no guarantees of seating order. The reasons why customers choose to double-sit vary widely. Some guests simply want to make sure they get a table quickly while others are concerned about waiting too long for a seat. And some diners just like having a second opinion. But, if you’ve never done doublesitting, here are a few things you might not know: • You’ll probably end up sitting next to someone else. • Your server won’t know exactly how many people are coming into the restaurant. • There’s nothing wrong with asking your server to move seats if you feel uncomfortable. • Sometimes, your server will ask you to switch seats.
