Restaurateur Ryan Cole of Stones Throw in San Francisco weighs in on the concept of paid reservations in an open letter on ISSF. Quote: "First and foremost... I am a huge proponent of utilizing new and creative technology... [but] with the introduction of the most recent hot-topic item — selling prime-time reservations — I feel sick to my stomach to think that restaurants of such high pedigree and prestige would agree to participate in something so fundamentally against the principles of hospitality.
