reservation fee

Holding spot cost

A reservation fee is a charge paid to secure a booking or hold something for future use.

Hotels, restaurants, and venues commonly require reservation fees to guarantee availability and discourage no-shows: The restaurant charges a $50 reservation fee that's applied to your final bill.

Unlike deposits, reservation fees may be nonrefundable regardless of whether you follow through.
