This might seem weird- but to me, it has the same appeal as television: the selection is already made.

Choosing a restaurant to eat at is such a small barrier, but it feels huge (kinda like picking an episode on NetFlix).

I definitely see the appeal in getting an e-mail saying: "Hobotron, a table for 2 is reserved at Lait de Tétine this Thursday at 7PM." and when you show up your preferred cocktail is already on the table.

Could partner up with Uber/Limo/Whatever to provide rides to/from in the event you wish to indulge to excess.

This is the problem with ideas like loft. A lot of people think it is a good idea. They give feedback about what they would like to see in a service like this and consider pretty 'neat' at best. Then it pops off the front page and they never consider it again. Making reservations is easy. People will probably not "love" this service, because it isn't even close to essential. ITT a lot of people provide feedback about a product they will never use giving the founders a false sense of feature and product demand.
