How this works

Pick a restaurant, join its watch, and you are in line for its city rollout. As scanning switches on city by city, a cancelled table that matches your party size and dates triggers a text with a direct link — you book it yourself, in your own account, at the normal price. We never book, hold, or resell tables, and we never ask for your booking-site passwords.
