One word card collection

Q:

Around 11:50, I witnessed about 10 people, who appeared to be families, repeatedly yelling, ``We've already taken the seats here, so don't sit down.''

I understand that the claim is that they were probably reserving seats.
I was worried that it would lead to trouble because I was yelling at people who were already seated.

Recently, even during busy hours, there are many outside users, and it seems that many people are trying to reserve seats.
I don't think it's possible to completely prevent seat reservations, but I think it's difficult to take some measures even during busy hours.

A:

Thank you for always using Chuo Shokudo. We apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding the space reservation. We were aware of this and called for a ban on seating reservations, but we were unable to prevent this in time. Currently, we are further strengthening our measures and are responding by posting notices prohibiting seating reservations and further strengthening reminders.
