When restaurants release reservations
Most hard-to-book restaurants release new dates at 9:00 AM local time, 21 days ahead. Each one sets its own rule, so the usual time differs by city.

Reservation release times by city
Reservation release times by city, as of 19 October 2026
City Restaurants tracked Release time and window on record Most common release time Median booking window New York City 84 46 10:00 AM ET (14) 21 days San Francisco 60 18 12:00 PM PT (6) 30 days Los Angeles 72 13 9:00 AM PT (5) 14 days Chicago 68 11 9:00 AM CT (6) 21 days
How far ahead 284 hard-to-book restaurants in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago release their tables and what time new dates appear. 96 release times come from the restaurant's own published rule, 13 are reported by third-party write-ups, and 123 are observed: no rule is on record, and the hour shown is when we have repeatedly seen new dates appear.
When do I need to book for a specific date?
Subtract the booking window from the night you want. A restaurant that books 30 days ahead reaches a Saturday four weeks out on the Thursday four weeks and two days before it. The calculator on this page does that for every restaurant at once and lists them by the day their calendar reaches your date.
Which restaurants release reservations at the same time?
Of the 232 restaurants with a known release time, 211 fall into 14 shared release times. If you are trying to book two of them on the same morning, this is where you find out that you cannot.
