There is a black market for restaurant reservations. 

This episode of the weekly discussion podcast The Week in Restaurants looks at the black market that has developed for restaurant reservations and what that means for the industry—and what’s being done about it. 

We also talk about our takeaways from the National Restaurant Association Show, including the biggest trends from that event. 

And a giant Hardee’s franchisee has sued the chain, revealing deep-seated issues over the company and its operations.

Joe Guszkowski also talks technology.
