Hi all,

This list has been kinda quiet lately - I hope it is because people are
off doing holiday stuff . . .

I am working on a site for a restaurant. They are not always open for
dinner because they do a lot of catering. I suggested that they put a
calendar on their site showing which days they are open, but they are
not keen on that idea. What does everyone think? Should they put
something as generic as "Please call because we may be closed for a
private party" or something more detailed? Any opinions are welcome.

Thanks,
Riva

Interesting question.

Anything like a calendar would require maintenance. How likely is the
restaurant to bother to update the web site? How likely are they to
engage your services to do that and to remember to tell you to do so?

You'd have to make a virtue of being closed. Something like:

"We are often fully booked for the evening for private parties. Please
call ahead to check seating availability. We'd hate to have you make
the trip only to find out we're hosting a private party."
