Flour + Water books on Resy, with a calendar about a month deep. We have not measured a single release hour from the record, so we do not publish one; with 111 recorded release events and four dates in five opening at some point, the calendar moves all month, and the cancellation is the route that matters for a Saturday.
Late. The slot we have seen open most often is 9:00 PM, and 53% of recorded openings fell at 9 PM or later, with 29% before 6 PM and 5% in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window. Openings run from 5:00 PM to 9:15 PM. The 7:30 is the seat that never comes back; the 9 o'clock pasta is the one that does.

No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Flour + Water on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Mission pasta room is 80% open for four and opens most at 9:00 PM, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
