Frustrated with Resy's slow or unreliable Notify feature? We monitor Resy restaurants around the clock. When a table opens, you get an email with a direct link to book on Resy.
Notify is Resy's own waitlist, and for most restaurants it works fine. It is worth understanding how it actually behaves before deciding you need anything else.
You pick a restaurant, date, party size, and time window, and Resy alerts you if a matching table opens. It is free with any Resy account and set per restaurant, per date.
Resy Priority Notify is available to eligible American Express cardholders. It is the same mechanism with earlier or expanded access rather than a different system.
A request has to already exist for that exact restaurant and date before the table opens. If you had not thought to set one, or you set it for the wrong date, nothing fires. Users commonly report delays or missed alerts on the most in-demand restaurants, where an opening can be claimed within seconds.
Notify does nothing for a restaurant that books through OpenTable, Tock, or SevenRooms. If you are tracking several restaurants across platforms, you are managing each one separately.
If Notify is catching what you need, keep using it — it costs nothing. Where a second watcher helps is the hardest tables, where an opening lasts seconds, and where you are tracking restaurants across more than one platform. ReservationFinder monitors Resy continuously alongside OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms, and sends one alert with a direct link to book on Resy yourself.

While Resy Notify checks periodically, ReservationFinder monitors restaurant pages around the clock. This more frequent checking means we often catch cancellations and new openings faster than the native Resy notification system.
No. ReservationFinder monitors publicly available availability data. We never ask for or store your Resy credentials. When we find an opening, we send you a direct link to book on Resy yourself.
You receive an instant email (and SMS if you have Pro) with the restaurant name, date, time, and party size. The email includes a direct booking link so you can secure the table on Resy within seconds.
Many users report that Resy's Notify feature can be delayed or inconsistent, especially for the most popular restaurants. This is because Resy's system may not check as frequently or may have capacity limits during peak demand.
Yes! With ReservationFinder Pro ($19.99/month), you can monitor up to 10 Resy restaurants simultaneously, plus follow entire cities to get same-day availability alerts. Basic ($9.99/month) allows up to 4 restaurants.
Resy Notify is Resy's built-in waitlist. You choose a restaurant, date, party size, and time window, and Resy notifies you if a matching table becomes available. It is free with any Resy account. Resy Priority Notify is the upgraded tier available to eligible American Express cardholders. Notify is request-based — you have to have set a request for that exact restaurant and date before the table opens — and it only covers restaurants that book through Resy.
Resy Priority Notify (available to American Express cardholders) gives you earlier access to some notifications. However, for the most competitive restaurants, even Priority Notify users benefit from using a third-party service like ReservationFinder as an additional safety net.
