Depends. For me, being in home is much better option than standing in a queue with unknown waiting time just to get the previlige of eating in a restaurant. Most people go to resturant not as neccessity but a optional visit to spend good time. And this solution takes away good time.

I agree for places like doctors visit though. Everyone should stand in queue rather than a limited reservation.

What if my work schedule isn't flexible? Having a queue and no option for an appointment time means that I'll essentially never be able to guarantee a doctor's visit. I'll just have to schedule time off and pray that the line isn't too long.
