Resy is an American Express company optimized for high-end diners, not restaurant operations. Its primary value proposition is the Amex dining network — which means your restaurant is a feature in someone else's loyalty program.

Analytics are limited to basic covers and revenue. There's no AI, no predictive insights, no copilot to help you make decisions. You're paying $249/month for a reservation book with a nice font.

Per-cover fees of $1–2 per seated diner add up fast. A restaurant doing 200 covers a week pays $10,000–$20,000 a year just for the privilege of accepting reservations through Resy's platform.
