Why this phrase
Popular ramen, yakiniku, and chain shops hand you a vibrating pager at the door, not the table button. Staff say one clause, 鳴ったらお入りください, and vanish. Sit in the waiting bit with the disc. When it buzzes, you go in. Miss it and the table is given away. One takeaway: hear 鳴ったら, then move.
