This Famous Bengaluru Eatery Now Has A System In Place To Reserve Seats

Diners can now secure a table by calling 080-26677588 on the day of their visit. They will receive a token number, which must be collected as a receipt from the reservation or parcel counter upon arrival before being seated.

This move is aimed at streamlining the process and ensuring that those with prior bookings can be accommodated quickly.

To balance the system, 50 percent of the restaurant’s seating capacity has been set aside for reservations, while the rest remains available for walk-in customers.

But walk-in customers should be prepared for wait times, particularly on weekends when the footfall is at its peak.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the eatery stated, “Planning to visit Vidyarthi Bhavan? Call us on 080-26677588 on the day of your visit and reserve your seats in advance. This helps you avoid long waiting times and enjoy your favourite dosey without delay!"

However, there were a few users who suggested that the process would be more efficient if it were fully digitised.

While one user wrote, “This is a great system but it’s easier if it’s digitized."

Another commented, “Why so much manual process, why not use technology?"

One person also expressed concerns about Bengaluru’s notorious traffic, highlighting how delays and parking issues could lead to people arriving late for their reservations.

The move has led to a lot of reactions, but one thing is certain. The eatery’s reputation among foodies will remain the same.

Vidyarthi Bhavan recently won a trademark battle against a restaurant in Karnataka’s Shivamogga that attempted to use a similar name, according to a report in Hindustan Times. A Bengaluru court ruled in favour of Vidyarthi Bhavan, barring the Shivamogga establishment from using the trademark. But, the court did not recognise Vidyarthi Bhavan’s appeal for financial damages, stating that it had no businesses present in Shivamogga.
