I think it should probably be $15 per guest at casual sit down, $25 at signature and $35 at high end. I also think it should apply to all reservations, it might make getting dining reservations easier.
I think this would prove to be more of a deterrent to people just making multiple reservations and not canceling.
For those wondering what happens if you get sick, we almost had this issue with CRT, they assured us that if we couldn't make it, we would not be charged. From what we were told, they have the same policy for transportation issues and for things like not being let in the parks because they are too full. In other words, they will make reasonable exceptions to charging you. Now I am sure if they started finding a pattern of you doing it all the time, they would have a different attitude about it, but all in all, I think they will be reasonable.
