What is walk in reservation?

A walk-in reservation refers to a situation where a customer arrives at a restaurant, hotel, or other service establishment without a prior booking and requests immediate service or accommodation. These reservations are typically based on availability, meaning that the establishment may or may not have space for the walk-in customer. Walk-in reservations are common in casual dining and some hotels, allowing spontaneity for patrons who prefer not to plan in advance. However, during peak times, walk-ins may face longer wait times or be turned away if capacity is reached.
