Jenny, I need a reservation for dinner on Friday night. Can you accommodate that?
Yes sir. Where and when?
Totinos Bistro, Campbell and Elm. 7pm on Friday.
Number in your party?
14. My in-laws are in from out of town and I want everyone there.
Very well. One moment. Sir, they have a problem.
What's the problem?
They cannot seat that many at 7.
Ok, what about 8?
They can seat that many at 8, but not at the same table.
Well, what about later then?
They cannot seat 14 at anytime, unless you reserve the banquet room.
Ok, that will be fine. The in-laws will love the tortellini...
There is a minimum party size of 22 for banquet room 1 and 18 for banquet room 2.
Ok, then reserve banquet room 2 for 7pm, Friday.
They cannot. There is an existing reservation for 6:30 and it will still be in use until about 8.
Ok, 8 is fine. Banquet room 2, party of 18.
They said if any less than 18 show, they will charge you standard $50 per plate for the empty chairs.
Fine. Check with Castro's at Main and Pershing.
What time?
7pm Friday, party of 14.
Very good sir. They are confirming your reservation at Castro's, 7pm Friday, party of 14. I hear they have excellent linguine.
They do. Thanks Jenny. Have a good night!
You too, sir.
