SnagRes tracks 2 hard-to-book Richmond and Sunset restaurants in real time, including Wako, Elena's. Availability is checked continuously across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms, and you can get a text the moment 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.

Mission and Castro (15), Nob Hill and North Beach (9), Hayes Valley and Fillmore (7), Marina and Presidio Heights (6), SoMa (6), Downtown SF (4), Fillmore (4), Jackson Square (4).

Across the 2 Richmond and Sunset restaurants SnagRes tracks in SF, an average of 84% of the bookable window is open at any given check. The tightest is Wako at 67%. Anything under about 10% means tables are effectively gone the moment they are released, so an alert matters more than refreshing.
Of the 2, 1 book on Tock, 1 on OpenTable. Each platform releases tables on its own schedule, so watching only one leaves the rest of this list invisible. SnagRes checks all four continuously.
