A mystery restaurant in the U.S. has recently leaked some of their guests’ notes and dining preferences.<\/p>\n

Many restaurants use a digital POS system to make efficient table reservations and importantly to make notes about their guests. The restaurant in question is one where many A-list celebrities reportedly dine at, and you’d have thought that information about them would be kept secure given the nature of their clientele.<\/p>\n

Apparently, this was not the case. Hannah Goldfield, an author for The New Yorker, was reportedly sent a spreadsheet from the restaurant in error containing around 30,000 entries about guests.

“…soothing my anxiety by slowly savouring this spreadsheet of notes on customers that a restaurant accidentally attached to an email blast.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of the A-list celebrities reportedly included Ryan Seacrest, Fran Drescher, Gillian Anderson, Meryl Streep’s nephew, Danielle Steel’s daughter, an accountant for Ricky (from Ricky’s), and a production assistant who “thinks he is more important than he really is.”<\/p>\n

The spreadsheet also referred to an 86’d list. 86’d was code for guests who created trouble for the restaurant and consequently were not welcomed back with open arms.<\/p>\n
