Reso-Bomb

Restaurant lingo, Short for Reservation Bomb.

The act of intentionally making a fake or false reservation at a (usually competing) restaurant in order to disrupt or cause a loss of business from having to turn away customers because of tables held vacant in anticipation of a (usually large) party that will never show up.

That's the third large party no-show tonight... I think we're getting reso-bombed.

-OR-

The place down the street is always busier that we are. We ought to Reso-bomb them and try to get a slice of their business.
