RUA Thai - Thai Restaurant Brooklyn

Ugly Baby Goes Reservation-Free | Eater NY

"Throughout the pandemic the Carroll Gardens Thai restaurant experimented with various pre-ordering and reservation systems — at one point using a convoluted process run through Instagram DMs — and has now announced that when they return from break on July 6 they will do away with reservations entirely and revert to their original walk-in model; their Instagram post explained that this lets them serve more people because they won't have to hold tables empty for upcoming reservations, which as a small restaurant has a massive impact on their ability to accommodate more people, and added: “Spontaneity!”" - Emma Orlow
