How to look up an existing OpenTable reservation.

Here to find a booking you already made? Pull it up with the steps below. If the problem is the opposite one — the date you want shows nothing available — skip to the bottom of this section.

  1. 01

    Check the confirmation email

    Every OpenTable booking triggers a confirmation email with the restaurant, date, time, and party size, plus links to modify or cancel. Search your inbox for "OpenTable" — check spam and the promotions tab too.

  2. 02

    Sign in and open "My reservations"

    At opentable.com, open the account menu and choose "My reservations"; in the app it is the Reservations tab. Upcoming and past bookings both live there — provided you were signed in when you booked.

  3. 03

    Booked as a guest? The email is your only handle

    Guest bookings are not attached to an account, so they never appear under "My reservations". The manage and cancel links inside the confirmation email still work.

  4. 04

    Still missing? Call the restaurant

    The restaurant sees its own book regardless of how the reservation was made. One call confirms whether you are actually on it — faster than hunting through an inbox.

That covers a table you already have. The harder problem is the one you do not: the night you want shows nothing available, and the openings that do appear get taken within minutes. ReservationFinder watches OpenTable around the clock and emails you the moment a table opens at the restaurants you are tracking. You book on OpenTable yourself, so your Dining Points and reservation history stay intact.

§ 07 · FAQ

OpenTable alerts — questions.

How does ReservationFinder work with OpenTable?

ReservationFinder monitors OpenTable restaurant availability around the clock. When a table matching your preferences opens up, we send you an instant alert with a direct link to book on OpenTable.

Does ReservationFinder need my OpenTable account?

No. We monitor publicly available reservation data. You book directly on OpenTable using your own account when we alert you to an opening. Your credentials are never shared with us.

Can I still earn OpenTable points?

Yes! Since you complete the booking on OpenTable directly, you earn all your regular OpenTable Dining Points. ReservationFinder just helps you find the openings faster.

What makes this better than OpenTable's native alerts?

OpenTable's waitlist feature is helpful but can be slow. ReservationFinder checks continuously and covers multiple platforms (OpenTable, Resy, Tock, SevenRooms) so you have the best chance of catching cancellations.

How many OpenTable restaurants can I track?

With ReservationFinder Pro ($19.99/month), you can monitor up to 10 restaurants across OpenTable, Resy, Tock, and SevenRooms, plus follow entire cities for same-day availability alerts. Basic ($9.99/month) allows up to 4 restaurants, and there's a 7-day free trial to get started.

How do I look up an existing OpenTable reservation?

Check the confirmation email OpenTable sent when you booked — it contains the restaurant, date, time, and party size, plus links to modify or cancel. If you were signed in when you booked, the reservation also appears under "My reservations" at opentable.com or the Reservations tab in the app. Guest bookings are not attached to an account, so the confirmation email is your only handle. If you still cannot find it, call the restaurant directly — they can see their own book regardless of how the reservation was made.

Do OpenTable restaurants release reservations at specific times?

Many restaurants release reservations 14-30 days in advance, often at midnight or 9-10 AM local time. Our monitoring catches both scheduled releases and cancellation-based openings throughout the day.
