Part of the beauty, for me at least, is that 'restaurant reservations' is a likely-to-be-overlooked problem in the Web 2.0 era. I mean, where's the social networking component?! Can you friend other reservers?! Oh wait, you're going to eat dinner with people? Oh.

How many more problems like this are out there? Reminds me of DHH's "Fortune 1,000,000".

"John made a reservation at 'The Sausage Saloon.'"

This may, or may-not, be a good idea. I suppose it depends on how an individual feels about it.
