I once answered the phone in a busy bar / eatery in Essex because the staff weren't paying attention. Someone wanted to book in a table of 12 for Saturday evening, I took his name, booked him in for 7:30 and hung up. I didn't tell the venue and often wonder about what happened.

Only 'answer the phone' part. They skipped over 'make an entry in the system for a table for 12' and 'reserve a table for 12 on the day of the booking' parts.
Well he said he wrote them down. In a lot of restaurants, the whole system is a book.
I think by ‘booked him in’ he just means agreed the time with the caller.
Idk I also interpreted that as entering it into some booking system
Right, exactly what the employee would do
