first come – first serve basis

あくまで個人の見解ですが・・
しかも、自称インサイダー。

the latestは??ですが。
最も遅い、最後という意味のはずが、例として10;00の予約を出し、10:15まで待つと
言っている。でもやはり10:00が最後で良いのかな?

Musings about reservations
A few people have asked me recently about the table reservations policy at SkyBar. This got me thinking, “Hey, I wonder if our reservations policy is transparent enough? What’s the best way for me to tell everyone how we do things here at SkyBar?” And then, it hit me. The blog! Of course.

At SkyBar, all of our regular reservations (except for on New Year’s Eve and
a few very special occasions) are non-paid. We don’t give preference to anyone who’s promising to spend a certain amount of money, or to buy X number
of bottles. Instead, all of our reservations are handled on a first come –
first serve basis, and the latest time that a table can be booked
for on any night is 10:00 pm. The booking procedure is simple:
Call us at 6-03-2332 9888, or email us at skybar.thkl@shangri-la.com,
let us know what kind of table you’d like, what time you’ll arrive,
and on what date, and as long as we have a table available for you
at that time, it’s yours. It’s okay if you just want to come down
and have a drink or two with your friends and call it a night;
just contact us in advance.

There is, however, one caveat to our reservations: we will hold your table
for 15 minutes after your reservation time, after which we will release it
(e.g. if your reservation was for 10:00 pm, we will have to release your table
at 10:15). We often have many walk in guests who are trying to get a table,
and so we cannot hold your table for longer than 15 minutes under any circumstances. Of course, if you’re running late, please come in
as a walk-in guest, and we’ll do our best to find you and your friends
a place to sit.

  • 一般的には、「 first come, first served basis」だと思いますよ

    >>first come – first serve basis

    違和感を感じたので、ネットで確認しましたが、

    普通は

    first come, first served basis

    だとおもいますよ。

    どうでもいいんだけど ...

    どちらも普通に使いますよ。

    もちろん英語文法的には first come, first served が正しいですが、慣用句になっているので first come, first serve でも問題ありません。

    以上。
