This is now fairly common where I live (Amsterdam) and since COVID I notice it a lot more. Many restaurants have a reservation fee of €10 or €20, sometimes even more. It's flexible enough that you can reschedule till 8 or 12 hours before the reservation and it's deducted as part of the bill. If you are a no show, you forfeit the deposit. Definitely creates a barrier for scalpers because they would have to buy seats and swallow the loss if they can't sell it but if the restaurant is popular enough, then it can still work in the scalper's favour. |
