history: I went to a restaurant that had call ahead seating. I called ahead and was put on the wait list. We arrived 10 minutes later as directed. However, we still have to wait over 45 minutes for our table.
current: A restaurant that I wanted to eat at had "call ahead seating" where you can call and get placed on a waiting list. I called ahead and was told we would have a table in 10 minutes. When we arrived 10 minutes later, our table was not ready!
next: That is so annoying. They should not call it that if they can't guarantee 10 minutes.
