Check you home club. There may be some reciprocity with other clubs. This works for us when traveling.

Back to the thread: I would expect private clubs to have the same issues as public establishments when it comes to staffing, overhead, etc. Some of this may be mitigated with dues and minimum dining requirements.
Customer efficiency.
Private clubs are more like a restaurant with reservations, but they also have control over the number of people that may seek a reservation.

Management for decades meant controlling inventory and staff... but the surge of customers has overrun available inventory and staffing.
No manager can make inventory or trained staff magically appear.

Everyone thinks it will balance... but the Boomers will be picking up the pace of retirement over the next few years... and housing for the younger sector is getting more expensive so they keep getting pushed out of the area.
So it is really going to depend on customer efficiency changing the status quo.

Private diner clubs would do that... but at a cost.
