If I've never been to a restaurant and it's empty, I walk.
The first customer would hopefully have already built up trust in that restaurant to walk in when its empty. Then the next, and the next. So, to me, the inference is the more customers an unknown (to me) restuarnt has, the more likely it will be ok.
I will be the first customer if it's a place I already know and trust.
