Having trouble securing a reservation at Hearthside in Collingswood this Saturday night? Offer a bid between $125-$225, and someone can help you with that.
But Dominic Piperno, the chef-owner of Hearthside and a Cherry Hill native, had no idea that was an option at his own business.
The New Jersey legislature passed a bill that would ban third party restaurant reservation services like Appointment Trader. Restaurants like Hearthside and Cafe 2825 are on the platform.
