Daily snapshots of the new openings our monitors caught across Resy, OpenTable, Tock and SevenRooms: tables that became bookable while we watched, not ones already open. Counts describe our monitored sample; they do not measure cancellations or completed bookings.
Every table our monitors saw become bookable while they were watching, by the same rules as the 30-day figures on this page: never a table already open when we started looking.
New openings our monitors caught each month, by when we first saw them (Eastern Time). October is still being counted (hatched). January counts from January 14, when our history begins.
So far we keep only the tables inside the hours our members ask us to watch, so every month here undercounts what opened.
| Month | New openings |
|---|---|
| January 2026 | 1,070 |
| February 2026 | 2,070 |
| March 2026 | 1,405 |
| April 2026 | 4,238 |
| May 2026 | 5,355 |
| June 2026 | 6,807 |
| July 2026 | 10,536 |
| August 2026 | 15,970 |
| September 2026 | 20,531 |
| October 2026 (so far) | 2,919 |
Platforms differ in how many restaurants we watch there and how often we check, so these totals compare our coverage, not how easy each platform is to book.

This list compares new openings caught within our sample. Counts depend on monitoring coverage, dates and party sizes, so they do not establish booking difficulty or a customer’s odds.
When new openings were caught (Eastern Time)
ReservationFinder's data shows 10 AM ET is the largest detection hour in this sample, with 4,313 new openings over the last 30 days. Secondary peaks occur at 12 AM ET (3,359) and 12 PM ET (3,219). Detection time does not tell us when diners cancel. Scheduled releases, monitoring coverage and collection delays can also produce peaks.
New openings by reservation platform (last 30 days)
According to ReservationFinder's data, RESY accounts for 52.2% of new openings in this monitored sample (11,348 openings), OPENTABLE accounts for 26.8% of new openings in this monitored sample (5,841 openings), SEVENROOMS accounts for 19.5% of new openings in this monitored sample (4,232 openings), and TOCK accounts for 1.5% of new openings in this monitored sample (334 openings) (based on 21,755 new openings first seen since 2026-09-04, through the snapshot dated October 4, 2026).
New openings by party size (last 30 days)
Parties of 2 account for the largest share of new openings at 86% (18,728 openings). Parties of 3 follow at 5% (1,159), and Parties of 4 follow at 7% (1,434). Monitored party sizes are not equally represented. These counts do not establish that couples have better booking odds.
Cities with the most new openings (last 30 days)
New York leads with 10,268 new openings over the last 30 days, followed by Miami (1,517) and Paia (1,464). Different cities have different restaurant and preference coverage. Higher counts do not establish better availability or booking odds for an individual diner.

ReservationFinder checks supported restaurants on Resy, OpenTable, Tock and SevenRooms for bookable tables, for the party sizes we check there, which follow what our members ask for. Check frequency varies by platform, restaurant and date, so a table can appear and disappear between checks. Depending on the platform, we record every table a check returns for those party sizes or only those near the times members follow, with the restaurant, date, time, party size, and when we first and last saw it.
A new opening is a table we saw become bookable while we were watching. Each restaurant, date, time and party size counts once, the first time we saw it; seating options count as one. Tables that were already bookable when we first looked are left out: those on a date that had just entered our monitoring window, those found in the first hour we watched a restaurant or a party size or recorded more of its times, and a party size turning up on three or more dates within half an hour, which is a check catching up with what was already open (a batch release looks the same and is left out too). Our homepage's count applies these rules to the last 7 days at restaurants we have watched for at least a week, and its feed to the last 24 hours; the restaurant pages and the charts on this page apply them to the last 30 days, and the city pages' recent catches and the monthly counts here to everything since January 2026. Until our monitors keep every table a check returns, they keep only the tables inside the hours our members ask us to watch, so earlier months undercount what opened. Counts are not completed bookings or a prediction of how soon a customer will receive an alert, and different party sizes can be the same physical table.
Zero observed openings does not prove a restaurant was fully booked throughout the window. New monitoring, gaps in coverage, narrow preferences, and limited inventory all affect results. A working monitor may never find a matching opening. Release schedules are labeled by confidence and may change; the restaurant's official booking page is the authority for its current policy.
Where a chart or a dated report counts “slot records” rather than new openings, each stored slot row was counted once by the time it was first seen, including tables that were already bookable, with no deduplication of tables or repeat openings. Platform and party-size shares reflect our monitored sample, not market share or booking odds. Active restaurant counts describe the configuration at the snapshot, not proven complete coverage throughout the window.
