In a very exclusive restaurant, several dozen diners are eating a top-class meal upstairs. Downstairs, precisely the same meal is being served at the same number of empty places. Why?

The restaurant is so exclusive that each client has his own waiter (or have the food served by their batlers). The chef doesn't mind making double the quantity needed (or the clients respect so much their batlers) and serves the same for the waiters (or batlers) to eat afterwards (anyway, in some restaurants the materials bought are not so expensive, but the food is really overcharged).

It is the night before a big football game. Being the the best restauraunt in town both teams want to eat there, and since they are weathly pro athletes they have no problem affording it. To avoid any confrontations the teams are scheduled to eat on different floors. One of the teams is not there because their bus or plane is late.

Let's be practical: 
The top level is the not-reserved section, while the bottom level is for those who have reserved seats and are coming later.

Well, I would say the tide is low. Soon the water will raise the whole boat for a couple of meters. To make sure the guests will still have a meal in front of them after the boat rose, they serve the same meal downstairs.
Uh... just joking.
Maybe it is such a select restaurant that the same meal is served downstairs so that in case it would start to rain, the host could invite the guests inside to finish their meal.

Is that the answer? I thought it might have a glass floor or something so everything would be "the same". That probably was stupid though...lol.
