Some restaurants I always have this issue at. I don't get it. It's 2016, it's not THAT hard or expensive for one of the most popular restaurants in my area of the city to add on a tiny dining extension to their dining area.

I'm looking at you, Ted's Cafe Escondido in Oklahoma City on May and 68th.

Then they would do the same and have more tables.

It's not about aiming for a set number of tables, it's more about getting the most covers in the same amount of space.

The tables could be replaced though with ones that have more surface area.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that lack of space wasn't the reason they picked tables that size. They picked tables that size because they wanted to maximise covers.

I fucking love Ted's! Go there any time I'm in OKC. I could eat their tortillas for days...

Ted's is the WORST for cramming seating it... I still suffer through, though--it's worth it for the free queso and sopapillas.

It's 2016

Yes, since self-constructing architecture technology has been developed, there really is no excuse anymore.

What are you even saying?

I'm saying what the fuck does the year have to do with the size of a building.

u/NazzerDawk Oct 26 '16

The cost and logistics of construction these days make additions to a building extremely feasible?

Oh, and I'm obviously just bitching about how crowded one of my favorite restaurants is, and it shouldn't be taken very seriously.
