No. SnagRes watches the calendar and alerts you by email or text the moment a table appears. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. We never hold, resell or charge per reservation.
No, and that surprises almost everyone who asks. Across 3,545 availability checks, Per Se has shown a bookable table for two on 40% of the dates in its window, and the same for a party of four, on every night of the week: Thursday is the most open at 12% of checks and Tuesday the least at 51%. The three-Michelin-star room at Columbus Circle is, on the numbers, one of the most bookable tables in New York. The price of the tasting menu is the gate, not the calendar.
Open rate, party of two: 40%. Party of four: 100%.
Thursday, party of two: 12%. Tuesday: 51%.

No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Per Se on Tock around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
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 of the most famous dining rooms in the country is 40% open on every night alike, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
