Reservations allow customers to book tables in advance, allowing restaurants to know how many people they need to prepare for at set times. While not all establishments accept reservations, they can increase revenue by charging no-show customers. When customers arrive without a reservation, they can put their name on a waiting list for call-ahead seating and have a table held for them once available. Proper table setting includes placing knives to the left of forks and water goblets to the right of plates at the top of each place setting or "cover".
