Photo Prompt: While You’re Waiting

please-wait-to-be-seated

When you go to a popular restaurant, you often have to wait a bit before being seated.

How do you pass the time? Do you think about what you’re going to order? How excited you are to be there?

Perhaps starting a new public relations project or promoting an event is a bit like searching for a new place to go out for dinner: you look at location, ambience, how to get there, what the reviewers had to say, who told you about it, your budget and even the after glow that shines on after a lovely night.

Waiting at a restaurant tonight connected the two thoughts for me. How about you?

  1. Barbara, it looks like waiting to be seated is quite the time to get great ideas! unfortunately, I never experienced that in Romania…If it’s a busy restaurant I am visiting, i just call and make a reservation. And that’s it! Then again, I don’t go to that many fancy Romanian restaurants:)

    Speaking of organizing events, how we choose a location has changed in the last years. i remember a few years back, most press conferences were organized in a certain part of Bucharest because most news papers, tv stations and magazines had headquarters there. As they started spreading across different areas, locations changed and other hotels and convention centers get more customers 🙂
