    You’re so close to seeing the point. Yes indeed that the restaurant should be able to see if reservations are being changed around and be involved in those decisions, such as being able to restrict how they’re transferred and charging fees to do so. Your first paragraph is what is needed and what the law is trying to get these third parties to do.

      No, we definitely differ on what the point is. If restaurants allow reservations to be transferred like this, they are implicitly allowing this type of transaction. The only thing I feel like is needed, is for restaurants to know this type of thing exists. They already have the ability to curtail it if they need to.
