A fine-dining restaurant is open two days a week, Friday and Saturday, from 5 PM to 9 PM. Nearly all seating is by reservation. They've always unlocked the door at 5 PM sharp. It's been proposed to unlock the door 5 or 10 minutes before 5 PM so early arrivers can come in. Staff is sharply divided on this question. Owners are also divided.
So I thought I'd get some opinions from people who are not personally involved. Feel free to express your opinion / boost. I'm looking for input.
If you were a customer with a 5 PM reservation, would you expect the door to be unlocked:
@shuttersparks this survey is shaping up to be about as clear as mud! 😂
@kinsey Hah! Well, it's confirmation that there are a variety of opinions on this.
At first glance the voting seems clear as mud, but the result would have been more definitive had I asked a different question. Thus far, "5 PM sharp" is clearly outnumbered by "open a few minutes early". Once it's over I'll extract the thoughts expressed in the thread and present all the results to the staff and owners. There may be points raised here that change some minds.
Again, I thank everyone for participating.
