Restaurant Calls: Busy Signals and Background Noise
Calling a restaurant means competing with kitchen noise, busy dinner rushes, and staff juggling multiple tasks. Getting through during peak hours is nearly impossible, and conversations are often rushed. Online reservation platforms have transformed dining bookings, but some restaurants still require calls for special requests or large parties.
