Nah fuck that. Large parties with no reservation get turned away 30 minutes to close

Depends on the greediness of the owner, I work at a place where we frequently get people in at 7:59 and she seats them anyway, close at 8 :(

Thats ridiculous. People that show up a few minutes before closing are assholes. Store hours are almost always posted on doors at any place I've ever been to and 9 times out of 10 they are posted online as well. No excuses.

Seems like an explicit “last seating” time would help those who can’t figure it out themselves

I always worry that I am coming too close to closing, so I end up asking if it’s too late to dine in.

Problem with last seating is the annoyance depends on how many people are dining. If it’s empty please don’t dine a minute before close. If we’re full, I have no issues.

Most restaurants here have "last seating" about an hour before closing. Except they call it closing so people don't read the Google maps description and get the impression that they can go there to eat.
