New System
In full disclosure, I generally don't like changes or new things, so I tired to keep an open mind when viewing the new "bidding" system. One flaw is being locked into a two-hour period. When my wife and I go out to eat, we generally enjoy a few cocktails, and then we think about eating. A typical meal for us usually takes about two hours, and if we are with friends, longer than two hours. The other flaw is that while our bills generally exceed $100, I would be uncomfortable with the pressure of having to spend a certain amount.
My recommendation, play it straight, first come, first served. No special treatment for "members." As stated in prior posts, there are a lot of options, and I think this type of system would aggravate me to a point where I explore those options.
