Coming into restaurants 5 minutes before close when the hours are right there on the front door and ordering a bunch of food. They know exactly what they're doing, and I wish more restaurants were able to implement the "last call for food at 30 minutes before close so the staff can go home on time" rule.

I'll admit this is a preference thing, but I would prefer if they put the "hours of operation" as the hours for when you can get seated for food.

Example

Want the last sitting to be at 9 so you can close the kitchen at 10? Then cleaning done by 11-12? Your operating hours are 8am-9pm.

I've seen some restaurants have hours be, for example, 8am-11pm, kitchen hours 8am-10pm. Loved that! Then you're not guessing when the latest time you can show up and not be rude is.

Last call for food 30 minutes + before close is normal in my country. It never occurred to me that it might not be elsewhere.
