We partner with NYC's best restaurants to fill their empty tables. You get paid (as cash back) when you help.
Most diners never lose their deposit—it's only charged if demand drops significantly or you don't show up.
Find reservations at top restaurants. Green badges show cash back amounts.
We place a temporary hold on your card. For cash-back tables, this is released after you dine.
Pay the restaurant directly. No minimum spend, order whatever you like.
Cash back hits your wallet the next day after the restaurant confirms you showed up.
For cash-back reservations
Every restaurant on Reserve offers both types. Price depends on demand—the same restaurant might pay you for Tuesday dinner and charge a fee for Saturday night.
Book a slower time and we'll pay you cash back. The money is credited to your Reserve wallet after you dine.
New cash-back tables appear daily.
Secure a hard-to-get slot. Pay the reservation fee upfront and dine when you want.
Where does the money come from? 100% of prime-time fees are paid back to diners who book cash-back tables—Reserve and restaurants don't keep any of it. Restaurants pay Reserve a separate commission for every additional guest we send them.
You book a 5pm table for 4 at Miss Ada on a Thursday—a cash-back reservation.
This isn't a loyalty program with restrictions. It's actual money.
Withdraw your balance to your bank account anytime—no minimum, no waiting period.
Your restaurant bill is completely separate. Cash back isn't tied to how much you spend.
No restrictions on where or how you use it. It's your money.
Unlike other platforms, we don't have strict cutoff times. Your refund depends on current demand for that table.
Cancel and get a full refund. If the table is now worth more than when you booked, we'll credit you the difference—guaranteed.
Part of your deposit may be charged to cover the difference. You'll see the exact amount before confirming cancellation—no surprises.
The full deposit is charged. Restaurants depend on these tables being filled.
Why this model? Traditional cancellation fees punish you for canceling late, even if the restaurant can easily fill the table. Our demand-based system means you're only charged when there's a real cost to the restaurant.
We help restaurants fill tables that would otherwise sit empty—and they pay us a small commission for each guest we send.
Tuesday lunch and early weekday dinners are hard to fill. We bring guests exactly when restaurants need them most.
Instead of offering happy hour specials that hurt their brand, incentives are funded by prime-time diners—not the restaurant.
Restaurants pay a commission only when we fill their table. Zero upfront cost, zero risk.
Cash back is credited to your Reserve wallet the day after your reservation, once the restaurant confirms you showed up.
Your Reserve wallet balance is real cash. Withdraw to your bank account in one tap—no minimum amount, no waiting period, no restrictions.
No. Order whatever you like, tip as you normally would. The cash back you earn is completely separate from your restaurant bill—it's not tied to how much you spend.
The deposit (a temporary hold on your card) secures your table. For cash-back reservations, it's released automatically after you dine. It's only charged if demand drops significantly when you cancel, or if you don't show up.
New cash-back opportunities appear daily, especially for weekday dinners, early/late seatings, and last-minute openings. The more flexible you are, the more you'll earn.
Yes. We partner directly with popular NYC restaurants that use Resy. The tables are real, the experience is the same—we just add the ability to earn cash back or buy prime-time access.
We're currently NYC-only, focused on Manhattan and Brooklyn. More cities coming soon.
