Getting a table at New York's hardest restaurants is a timing problem. Tables open at odd hours, cancellations land without warning, and by the time you look the slot is gone. DinnerElite watches for you. Pick the restaurants you care about. Tell us which days work, what time window you want, and how many people you are feeding. When a table matching your rules appears, you get an alert. Then you book it yourself. HOW IT WORKS 1. Browse 224 hard-to-book NYC restaurants. 2. Add the ones you want to your watchlist. 3. Set your days, your time window, and your party size. 4. Get an alert the moment a matching table opens. 5. Tap through and book it. WHAT YOU CAN WATCH 224 New York City restaurants across the neighborhoods that book out fastest. The East Village is our densest coverage at 28 venues. We track rooms that take reservations through the major booking platforms, including Resy, OpenTable, and Tock. FILTERS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE Choose the days of the week you can actually go. Set a time window, so a 5:15pm table does not wake you at midnight. Set your party size, because a two-top and a six-top are different problems. Tell us whether you will take a short-notice table or whether you need a few days of warning. PLANS Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. You are not charged during the trial. Cancel inside 3 days and you pay nothing. Premium, $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Watch unlimited restaurants, set the dates, times and party size you want on each, and cancel anytime. Expert, $28.99 a month or $289.99 a year. Everything in Premium, plus a human team that books tables for you on request, plus priority human support. Annual plans cost two months less than paying month to month. Browsing all 224 restaurants is free and needs no card. 30-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE If DinnerElite does not send you a single table alert in your first 30 days, email us and we refund you in full. WHAT DINNERELITE DOES NOT DO DinnerElite does not book tables automatically. There is no bot and nothing runs against your reservation account. We send you an alert and you book the table yourself. The one exception is the Expert plan, where a real person on our team books on your behalf when you ask. WHO IT IS FOR People who check Resy at 9am and find the table already gone. Anniversary and birthday planners who need one specific night. Visitors who get a single shot at dinner in New York. Anyone who gave up on a restaurant because the calendar was always grey. NEW YORK ONLY, FOR NOW DinnerElite covers New York City today. That is the whole catalog. We would rather cover one city properly than five badly. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Premium and Expert are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

GetReserved's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
