We had a reservation, our table was available and we didn't get seated until 20 minutes after our reservation time (reservation was for 5, got seated between 5:25 - 5:30). Really did not understand the reason for the wait. I think some people are not meant to be hostesses and waitresses, but I guess at least someone showed up to work.
Seems like a reasonable answer to me.
