If you made a Mother’s Day reservation and can’t go, remember the manners Mom taught you, and let the restaurant know.
“Mother’s Day is very busy in our industry, and no-shows can be costly to restaurateurs who hold seats for families who don’t show up,” said Pete Meersman, association president, in a news release. “If you’re not going to be able to make it, call the restaurant and cancel your reservation – even if it’s last- minute.”
