About

Getting a table shouldn’t be a full-time job.

Following restaurants across separate booking platforms can mean managing several calendars and notification settings. ReservationFinder brings supported venues into one place and alerts you when we detect an opening that matches your plans.

§ 01 · The problem

Follow the restaurants that matter to you.

Restaurant reservation platforms each offer their own booking and notification tools. Following restaurants across several platforms means managing separate settings, calendars and messages.

ReservationFinder brings supported restaurants into one place. Choose your dates, time window and party size, and we send a booking link when a matching opening is detected.

Openings are not guaranteed. Some restaurants rarely make inventory available, and detected slots may not match your plans. Monitoring status and recent observations help you decide which restaurants to follow.

§ 02 · What we do

How our alerts help.

Choose a supported restaurant and save your preferences. When we detect a matching opening, we send a link to its booking platform. An alert does not hold the table; you review the current availability and complete the reservation yourself. Free browsing and paid alert plans are explained on our pricing page.

Ongoing monitoring

Our monitors check supported restaurants throughout the day. Frequency and coverage vary by restaurant and platform.

4 platforms

Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms — one service covers them all.

Matching alerts

Email and SMS when we detect an opening that matches your preferences. Delivery timing and availability can vary.

No credentials needed

Alert monitoring does not require your reservation-platform password.

§ 03 · Data & transparency

Built on real data. Published openly.

We don’t just monitor restaurants — we publish what we find. Our Restaurant Reservation Data page shares aggregated insights, updated daily:

  • Observed opening frequency — recorded availability within our monitored sample
  • Detection times — when our monitors first recorded openings
  • Platform distribution in our monitored sample — how observed openings break down across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms
  • City activity — observed slot counts with coverage limitations
§ 04 · Getting started

From shortlist to booking link.

Choose

Check the restaurant’s booking platform, monitoring status and recent activity.

Set the dates, party size and time window that work for you.

Book

If a matching opening is detected, use the alert’s link to complete your own reservation.

§ 05 · How we think about it

Values.

Speed matters most

We work to reduce the time between detecting an opening and sending a notification. We do not publish an alert-speed benchmark without a measured sample.

We monitor, you book

Alerts link to the restaurant’s booking platform. You review the terms and complete the reservation there.

Data should be open

The reservation data we collect benefits everyone. That's why we publish it publicly, updated daily, at no cost.

Sources and corrections

ReservationFinder publishes this website and offers the paid alert service described in these guides. The alert-service comparison includes ReservationFinder’s own product.

Restaurant and booking-platform sources are linked alongside sourced booking guidance. The restaurant’s current terms take precedence over monitoring observations.

Live opening counts update separately from guide review dates. Detected openings do not establish that an alert was delivered or a reservation was completed.

For a correction, send the page link and current official information to support@reservationfinder.io.
