Tock is where the best tasting menus live — and where cancellations are rarest. ReservationFinder watches continuously so when a prepaid ticket releases, you're the first to know.
Got a text from Tock and not sure why? Here is what those messages are, where they come from, and how to turn them off without touching your reservation.
Tock uses SMS to confirm a booking, remind you before your seating, and tell you when a restaurant changes or cancels. Each message is tied to a specific reservation rather than a mailing list.
That phrase is the consent language shown at checkout when you agree to receive texts about your booking. Agreeing to it is what starts the messages.
If you never opted in yourself, a reservation was most likely made with your phone number — by a dining companion, or by someone mistyping a digit.
Replying STOP to any Tock message opts that number out. It does not cancel your reservation and it does not stop the email confirmation — the booking is unaffected. Your carrier's standard message rates apply to the texts themselves.
All of the above is about a reservation you already have. Getting one is the harder problem — Tock is where prepaid tasting-menu seats sell out the minute they drop, and cancellations are rarer than on other platforms because of the upfront payment. ReservationFinder watches Tock continuously and alerts you when a seat is released or a cancellation reopens one.

Tock SMS is the text messaging Tock uses for reservations — booking confirmations, reminders before your seating, and notices when a restaurant changes or cancels. "Tock SMS communications" is the consent wording you agree to when you opt in during checkout. It is tied to a specific booking rather than a marketing list. Reply STOP to any message to opt out; that does not cancel your reservation, and you will still receive the email confirmation.
When someone cancels a Tock reservation, the spot becomes available again. Tock restaurants often have strict cancellation policies with fees, so cancellations can be less frequent than on other platforms — which makes monitoring even more valuable.
