I went to the Diamond Springs Hotel for breakfast lastt Tuesday. As I left, owner Amy Shim asked if we were coming in for Thanksgiving Day. I said that there's be five for dinner.
Amy walked off and wrote our name in the 5 p.m. block on a large sheet of cardboard.
Since the Hotel doesn't take dinner reservations during the year, she had to find a lasting method to record guest reservations for the speacial menu offering on Thanksgiving Day.
"I tried everything," said Amy, "srap paper, notebooks."
Paper reservation sheets can be lost, torn and soiled, noted Amy. Over the past five years, she's found that the board, cut from a large cardboard box, works the best.
Sometimes, the simplest method makes the most sense. It's sturdy, easily found when misplaced and difficult to damage.
That makes sense. Great idea! I love logic.
