Restaurant online booking frenzy

If you want to show off your qualities as a business woman who gets things done, take your investor or client to a restaurant impossible to get in.

Momofuku Ko, a restaurant, with only an 8-course Asian tasting menu of an award winning chef and only 12 seats opened in New York in March. It has created the ultimate test of your will power.

There's a strict no-VIP online booking policy: the 12 seats at this counter restaurant can be booked only through an online reservation system for that same week. And thus it is almost impossible, even worse than getting a place at your favorite school or your waiting list tennis club.

Every morning thousands of obsessive - I don't take no for an answer - women and men log on to the restaurant's website at 10 a.m. Review time slots, green check marks, red x's and then a frenzy clicking. You need to have a Tiger Woods timing to be able to get a reservation in the two seconds that is usually required before the seats are taken.
Zagat, Wired, New York Times, Eater they all contributed to this hype. There are rumours that the last couple of weeks some VIPs get in faster...

Anyway, if you do get seats, your client or investor will be impressed.
