"That implies deception, and I see none."

Isn't it deceptive to make a reservation at the restaurant without any intentions to ever show up?

Call the restaurant and tell them "we would like to reserve 10 seats with the intention of selling them on the free market". If they give you the reservations, you have a honest business.

To be fair, they do intend to have someone show up and fill the table.

What if nobody is buying? Anyway, further discussion seems futile.
