What Table Alert does that Dorsia does not
- We alert you to tables on the restaurant's own platform, so you book directly with the restaurant, with no membership application and no prepaid minimum spend.
- We watch Resy, OpenTable, Tock, SevenRooms, DoorDash reservations, TableCheck, OMAKASE, Pocket Concierge, CatchTable and more.
- We cover Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Seoul and Bangkok. Dorsia's site menu lists no city in Asia.
- Our restaurant guides with measured data show how many days a table was open and how long it lasted.
Which to choose when
- Choose Dorsia if you want a seat at one of its partner restaurants, accept a paid membership and a prepaid minimum spend, and want that table without watching for it.
- Choose Table Alert if you would rather book a restaurant's regular table on its own platform, at its own terms, and you want to hear when one opens.
- They solve different problems. A table you win through an alert is a normal booking with the restaurant.

Lifesaver service for booking difficult reservations
“Been looking for something like this for years, so glad I finally found it. It actually works — I just set up my alerts and wait for them to ping me. Already more than paid for itself with the couple of reservations I’ve managed to get this month alone.”
