Not sure if I mentioned my Monday luncheon - small cafe that had 8 interior and 6 sidewalk tables with 3 competent servers who did it all. Now it’s about 12 sidewalk tables and total 1 server and 1 carrier. The server (maybe the new owner?) does all which means that much patience is needed - the carrier seemed incapable of refilling drinks unless directed by the server. They also kept some tables intentionally empty despite having waiting clients. I don’t exactly know how this can sustain itself. Our meal was about 2 hours so it would have been faster to walk further and go eat elsewhere, although the big salad and tuna scoop do taste quite excellent!
