When making a reservation with a credit card under the pay-at-restaurant option, a "authorization hold" may be placed on the card for the reservation amount.

However, please note that when using a debit card or prepaid-type credit card, the process differs from that of a typical credit card.
At the time of authorization, the indicated amount may be immediately withdrawn from your account (this is due to the way some card types handle temporary holds as actual charges).
Please note that even if a charge has been made in advance, payment for food and drinks is still required at the restaurant on the day of your visit.
After your visit, the restaurant will process the cancellation of the authorization (release of the hold).
The withdrawn amount will then be returned to your account by your card issuer.
Please ensure that you pay for your meal at the restaurant on the day of your visit, as no advance payment has been finalized.
