SnagRes tracks 2 hard-to-book Richmond and Sunset restaurants, including Wako, Elena's. Availability is rechecked throughout the day on the platforms represented here, and alerts can tell you when a table opens.
Platform split here: 1 on Tock, 1 on OpenTable. That matters because each platform releases tables differently, and watching only one of them leaves the rest of this list invisible.

Across the 2 Richmond and Sunset restaurants SnagRes tracks in SF, an average of 87% of the bookable window is open at any given check.
