A new meaning has been added to "Ticket Restaurant".

"Should people pay for not turning up to a restaurant?

"No-shows for reservations are an age-old problem for restaurants. But
one restaurateur thinks he has cracked the problem by replacing
bookings with paid-for tickets, and he's bringing the system to the
UK."
