    I wonder what the third-party app site’s policy is if the restaurant cancels the reservation. Does the “bidder” get their money back? If so, the restaurants themselves should buy up all the reservations on the third party site, then cancel them, then demand their money back (or do a chargeback through their credit card). Make their own restaurant toxic to the third party sites.
