Answer 1

franchise restaurants often don't take reservations because they just don't have to. Taking reservations takes time, and if they don't have to spend that time in planning and still have a full house, well, why should they?

I can say from experience that restaurants that do take reservations on busy nights often aren't always able to honor the exact time. This is because no one can predict how long diners will decide to stay at their table. If they want to sit and chat, it is hardly hospitable to tell them to leave.

There are plenty of other restaurants out there as well. If you live in a market big enough to have a cheesecake factory, there are going to be some other great  little spots. Go on citysearch or some site like it for your town and look. Or also look in the archives of your local paper for restaurant reviews.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

they dont want to

Answer 3

Um..well if they don't take reservations you could try to go to another restaurant. Hey Cheesecake Factory isn't the only restaurant in the world love!  I'm sure any other restaurant would do, I mean its about the time you spend there right? Not about the place? Good luck on that.

Oh and congrats on your Senior Prom..I'm a senior as well..our prom is in May.

Answer 4

they dont want to, they don't have to, and they arn't going to..

Answer 5

because they're a pain in the butt, especially when the restaurant can be full and on a wait without taking them. find a place that takes reservations, or just go anyway. if you're a big group, call ahead and just say "i know you don't take reservations, but i just wanted to warn that i have a group of ___ that will be stopping in at _____ (time)." even if they can't guarantee you a table right away, the hosts can keep you in mind as they're coordinating the tables, and that can get you in faster and be less stressful for them. just give yourselves some extra time, and go wait for a table. being with your friends will make the time fly by.

Answer 6

they dont need to, why reserve a table for a potential no show with people waiting in line
