Pros and cons of Resy app for iPhone and iPad
Resy app good for
I tried Resy out because one of my favorite restaurants was on their platform. Its much easier to use than Opentable - mainly because it cuts out all the noise. Ill definitely be trying it again.
Super sleek, easy to use and only the best restaurants in my city. I use Resy as my go-to restaurant checklist.
This app has a slick interface and only great restaurants. Also love that I can confirm my reservation with a text
This is the best reservation app Ive found. The quality of restaurants is higher and Ive been lucky enough to get tables at peak times. Definitely my new go-to when I want to eat out.
This app is great for people who dine out often and without advanced planning. The fact you are willing to put down a credit card shows the restaurant you are serious and are therefore more likely to get a reservation at a hot spot. Many restaurants clearly state they wont charge you if you miss the reservation however the common courtesy of a phone call or in-app cancellation is expected. The waiting list feature is excellent and popular based on the fact available tables are snatched up within seconds of becoming
available. If you watch your phone for a message from Resy that a table became available at the last minute you can almost always get a table at your restaurant of choice. This app is indeed excellent.
Great design and selection of restaurants! I like the notify feature.
Some bad moments
So as everyone points out on here, this sneaky app charges you to make reservations that you can make for free using something like Open Table or by simply calling. Their business model is to get enough people to be fooled into this once (cause who would do it again once youve realized youve been conned).
That said, it has a fantastic interface and recommends great restaurants. So do what we do: use it to find places to eat, book it using other services...like a telephone.
im not putting my credit card in to some newbie app. Open tables got the market cornered and youre not offering any improvements on them, go home Resy!
I dont hate the concept of paying for reservations, I hate the way this app hides the info. Reservations can be free, $5, $10 whatever. But you dont know the cost until you click on the restaurant and time. No way to sort, filter or anything. What an absurd design.
Both times I responded to text notifications instantly only to be told the table I wanted was already booked. Then I noticed they emailed me earlier. I suppose the subsequent text message is to try and make me think the app is not a waste of time.
It spends a few moments locating me, and then it shows me the same two restaurants. A taqueria I can probably walk into, and an Italian restaurant I can probably walk into.
So, I made the dates a little less desirable (its Friday evening after all) and the same two restaurants showed up (for a Tuesday at 8:00).
I cant imagine getting a reservation at these places is particularly difficult. So it supersedes the need for this app.
Im sure more infrastructure needs to be built out before we start seeing time slots for brooklyn fare on here. But it looks like its gonna be a long while. Skip for now, unless you want tacos or Italian food.
Love this idea! Downloaded and cant wait to try it out when Im in NYC next month. We actually have a big group and were trying to find a venue so this is perfect!
Cant wait till this comes to Nashville!
