How reservation reminders work

When do NYC restaurant reservations open?

Most restaurants release a rolling window — a couple of weeks to a month ahead — at a set time of day. Two release a whole month at once on the 1st of the previous month, and one releases in half-month batches on the 1st and the 15th. Every card above shows that restaurant's own rule.

What time do reservations drop?

Midnight, 10:00 AM and 9:00 AM ET are the most common in our catalog, but there are venues that open at 6:00 AM, at 5:00 PM, and one that opens at noon on weekends and 5:00 PM on weekdays.

How soon should I click the link?

Immediately. Many of these restaurants release very little availability — and some, like 4 Charles Prime Rib, next to none online — especially for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. We have watched a full slate of tables disappear within thirty seconds of opening. Your best chance is to already be on the booking platform, signed in, when the window opens: choose a 1- or 2-minute reminder and tap the link the moment it arrives. If you are early, the link shows a countdown and takes you to the booking page the moment reservations open.

Does SeatsSoon book the table for me?

No. SeatsSoon sends a reminder text with the date and a link; you book on the restaurant's own platform yourself. We are not affiliated with Resy, OpenTable, SevenRooms, Tock, Yelp or DoorDash, and we do not hold tables or monitor availability.

How do you know the release times are right?

For the restaurants that book through Resy and SevenRooms we read the live booking calendar every day and correct the rule when it moves. The rest we check by hand. If you spot something wrong, tell us — there is a link on every card.

What does it cost?

Nothing today. Message and data rates from your carrier may apply — see our SMS terms.
