Should Restaurants Charge No-Show Fees?

If it's a good restaurant then a no show isn't a big deal as they will be those waiting to fill the spot. Let's get real here, a doctor or medical specialist might charge if there's a no show, but they're performing a service & they usually call their patients the day before to reconfirm. To me, charging a diner a late fee helps to feed that restaurateur who has an over inflated ego. You don't need to charge anyone.........when a customer calls, just politely say that the reservation will be held for 15 minutes & after that it's gone.

Stick to the basics please & serve up great food along with great service (remember, those two go together) & they will come.
