Tock started life as a prepaid ticketing platform for tasting-menu restaurants, and that heritage shapes how availability behaves. Many Tock restaurants sell seats the way a theatre sells shows: a block of dates goes on sale at a specific moment, often weeks or a month ahead, and it sells out fast. Some seats are prepaid tickets rather than ordinary bookings.
The practical consequence is that Tock rewards being early far more than it rewards persistence. When a block opens, the good times are gone in minutes. When the block is sold out, the only route in is a release back into inventory, which happens without warning.
On Tock, the alert you actually want is the one that says a sold-out restaurant has seats again. That is the whole value: the calendar said nothing was available, and now something is, and you have a short window to act.
Alerts name the dates and link straight to the restaurant on Tock.
Plus members get the exact times, which matters for tasting menus with two seatings.
Party-size filtering, so a table for four does not alert you about solo seats.
Quiet by default: at most one email per restaurant per hour.
SnagRes monitors 25 Tock restaurants, 19 of them in San Francisco and 6 in New York. Tock's concentration in San Francisco reflects the city's tasting-menu density, and it is a large part of why SF coverage requires more than watching Resy.
Because Tock restaurants are often the highest-stakes bookings on the list, this is where alerts tend to matter most. A missed Resy cancellation costs you a Tuesday. A missed Tock release can cost you the month.
The tracker is free to browse with no account. A free account gets you alerts on one restaurant. Plus is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year and raises the cap to 30, adds exact released times, and extends the calendar from 14 days to 30.
