Get an email when a booked-up restaurant has a table
Popular restaurants fill their books weeks ahead, and tables come back when someone cancels. Sold Out Alert watches the restaurant's booking page for the party size and time window you care about. When a matching table appears, it emails you a link to the page.
What you can watch
- Any table for 2 on Friday between 7 and 9pm
- A table for 6 on Saturday, any time after 6pm
- Anything at the counter or bar this month
- A weekday lunch table for 4 in the next two weeks
- A private dining room on a date in March
How it works
Paste the link to the restaurant's booking page and describe the party size, dates and times that would work for you.
Sold Out Alert reads the page once, shows you what it will check, and tells you whether the page can be tracked before you start.
When a matching table shows up, you get an email with the link. Open it and book the table yourself.
We alert you by email; you book it yourself. Sold Out Alert never logs into your accounts or buys anything for you. Plans start at $9 a month with a 7-day free trial.
Questions
- Will Sold Out Alert book the table for me?
- No. It watches the booking page and emails you when a table opens. You book it yourself, so you stay in control of the party size, the time and any card details the restaurant asks for.
- How quickly will I hear about a cancellation?
- Checks run on a schedule, from every 5 minutes on the lowest plan to every 1 minute on the highest. You are emailed after the check that sees the table. Cancelled tables tend to be taken quickly, so open the email as soon as you can.
- Can I watch more than one night at a time?
- Yes. Describe the range in plain language, such as any Friday or Saturday evening this month, and Sold Out Alert will look for any slot that fits. Each watch counts toward the number of watches your plan allows.
- What if the restaurant's booking page can't be watched?
- Some sites block automated checking, and a few load their tables in ways that cannot be read reliably. Sold Out Alert checks the page before you start and tells you whether it can be tracked, so you know before you rely on it.
