Restaurant question for the experts lol

So if a restaurant opens at 11:30 is it acceptable to get there very close to that time?  Do they turn the burners on before they open the door?  Or is it like a party - open at 11:30 but please don't come until closer to 12?

    They're ready to rock and roll when they open.

    I'd hope so!  Especially for lunch.  People go out on their lunch hour and I know I'll try to go early if I can to beat the rush.  If a restaurant wants to keep the business lunch people, they've got to be ready!

    yup 

    If they weren't ready, they shouldn't open the doors!

    Thank you all so much.  We have been doing morning dates but have to pick up my son at 1pm.  It looks like we can go to one of our favorite prebaby restaurants on our own for lunch!

     

    BTW - I posted this on the wrong board.  There was a bit of a server war on the SAHM board UOs today so my title was a bit of a joke.  But I'm glad I got real answers here LOL.  I lurk here sometimes. :)

    I love this board for everything.  I work for a restaurant company (not in the restaurant, but for corporate) and we are hyped up and ready to go when we open the doors.

    I was a waitress all the way through college and still wait tables sometimes seasonally for extra money. It is TOTALLY ok to get there at 11:30. We used to have ppl already at the door or in the parking lot 15-20 mins b4 we opened. The kitchen staff gets there at like 8am to start cooking, prepping, warming up the stoves, etc. :)

    I can't remember why we were going to call a restaurant the other day (some question that we figured out on our own, so never called), but it was around 10am and DH asked, "Do you think there's even anyone there yet?" LOL

    This is all so great to hear!  It's not in the city so I wasn't too sure.  But there are business districts nearby.  I like to hang back, play it cool, not be knocking on the door.  So I was actually a little bit leary. LOL  I'm so ridiculous - lunch is lunch!

    That's totally cool. What isn't cool is showing up at say 10:50 when the restaurant closes at 11.

    LOL this was the debate on the SAHM thread.
