It started with Monkey Bar in New York. Weeks of refreshing Resy, checking at midnight, setting reminders to look again at lunch. The table never came. The built-in notify feature was slow, unreliable, and only covered one platform at a time.
Restaurant reservation platforms like Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms each have their own notification features. But they’re slow, inconsistent, and siloed. If your dream restaurant uses Resy but you’re also eyeing a spot on OpenTable and another on Tock, you’re juggling three apps and hoping one of them actually pings you in time.
Meanwhile, cancellations happen constantly. People change plans, adjust group sizes, pick different dates. Tables open up every day at the hardest restaurants in the country. The problem isn’t supply — it’s that nobody tells you fast enough.
So we built a system that checks every restaurant, on every platform, around the clock. When a table opens, you know within seconds.
ReservationFinder is a monitoring and alert service. We are not a booking platform and we never will be. We don’t hold tables, we don’t resell reservations, and we don’t ask for your login credentials. You tell us which restaurants you want, we watch them around the clock, and when availability appears, we send an alert with a direct link to book on the restaurant’s own platform.
We check every monitored restaurant continuously, including weekends and holidays.
Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms — one service covers them all.
Email and SMS the moment a table opens. Average alert time under 60 seconds.
We monitor publicly available data. We never ask for or store your platform logins.
We don’t just monitor restaurants — we publish what we find. Our Restaurant Reservation Data page shares aggregated insights, updated daily:
Founded after months of failed attempts to book Monkey Bar in NYC
Launched with Resy monitoring and email alerts
Added OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms support
Expanded to 19+ cities across the U.S.
Launched Restaurant Difficulty Index and public reservation data
A table at Carbone might be open for 90 seconds. Our entire system is built around getting alerts to you as fast as physically possible.
We will never become a booking platform. Your reservation is between you and the restaurant. We just make sure you know about it.
The reservation data we collect benefits everyone. That's why we publish it publicly, updated daily, at no cost.
