Gary Danko books on Resy, with a window of about 60 days, twice the length of most rooms we track. We have not measured a single release hour from the record, so we do not publish one; with most of the calendar open at any moment, the release matters mostly for a Saturday at prime time.
Across the evening, with prime time well represented. The slot we have seen open most often is 9:00 PM, with 41% of recorded openings in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window, 28% at 9 PM or later and 22% before 6 PM. Openings run from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
Before 6 PM: 22%. Prime time: 41%. 9 PM or later: 28%.
Open Resy and book it, up to two months ahead; on a Thursday it is yours at nearly any hour. For a Saturday at 7:30, watch the date and take the cancellation. Party size makes little difference: 70% of dates for four against 70% for two.

No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Gary Danko 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 Fisherman's Wharf institution books 60 days out and is 100% open on a Thursday, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
