Many restaurants now offer contactless deliveries with meal kits. That’s a good option to try out if you want to explore a few items off their menu. If you’re looking to book one of the best restaurants in Long Beach, though, here are some guidelines to follow.
Do a Headcount
How many people are coming? Get the number of people in your party. That’s one of the questions they’ll ask you. Also, a bigger party means is harder to book than a smaller one. That means you should…
Call Ahead
If you want to make sure you’ll have a table on the dates you want, then call a few days early. Calling a day before might not get you the table you want. Also, weekends are busier, so you’ll want to book that table in advance.
Call to Confirm
Make sure you call a day or so before your reserved dates. That way, you can check if they’ve got your reservation in the books. Sometimes, mistakes happen, and reservations could get lost or forgotten. A few days before the date could be enough for them to fix the problem and get you that table. Confirming also helps in case they don’t have a table ready, and you’ll need to make other arrangements.
Show Up Early
Arriving about 15 minutes before your reserved time is good. Don’t be late, especially if you only booked that table for an hour or two. Otherwise, you might end up trying to finish everything because they need you to go once the new reservations come in.
Be Polite
More and more customers might be shifting from contactless deliveries, but not all restaurants can afford to have a full crew right now. Be polite to whoever showed up. Besides, being polite will help you get a table.
