What do you mean by booking a table at the hotel?

The hotel prepares two tables of food, you cook two tables and eat the money for both tables. If more people come and you sit for three tables, then the hotel will use one prepared dish and eat up the money for three tables. If you come for more than three tables, I'm sorry, the hotel is not prepared, either you can squeeze three tables or you can make other arrangements. In other words, you have to pay two tables as a guarantee.
