No reservation: is there a table, and how long is the wait?

Hi there. Do you have a reservation with us?

No, we don't. Do you have a table for two?

We're quite full, but there may be a short wait.

How long would the wait be, roughly?

About twenty minutes. I can take your number.

That's fine. We'll wait at the bar.

Great. I'll come and find you when it's ready.
