ONE Ulverston business have had to bring in reservation deposits after a number of no shows over the last month.
Hot Mango Cafe and Restaurant are now requesting a £10 per head non returnable deposit, payable within 24hours of making a booking, to secure a table booking for the bistro nights.
Without this the table will not be guaranteed. This is something they said they were hoping to not have to do but felt it has now become necessary.
Betulla's, an Italian restaurant in Ulverston, has threatened they may go the same way soon highlighting the issue of no shows in the surrounding area. They suggested customers should cancel their bookings if they could no longer make it as staff numbers and tables are planned accordingly.
This has lead to some nights not being cost effective due to a high staff, low customer ratio.
Both businesses are thanking everyone for their support on this issue.
