Resy suits restaurants that want a predictable bill. Its plans page says pricing has no per-cover fees and no charge per reservation, and each month you pay one fee. The $289 Platform plan covers reservations, table management, walk-in waitlists, Notify alerts that turn cancellations into covers, credit card holds, cancellation fees, deposits and POS integrations that sync guest and transaction data. Operators can also book from the dashboard and manage the full floor plan from a web browser. Platform 360 at $459 a month adds an advanced analytics dashboard for guest insights. Resy also connects venues to search, AI and discovery platforms, and its diner app gives American Express card members a reason to book. The downside is the entry price: at $289 a month with no free tier, a small cafe pays more than it would on Eat App or Yelp Guest Manager. For a busy independent restaurant, removing cover fees can make that flat fee the cheaper choice.
