Resy CEO Ben Leventhal bolsters the company’s position in the competitive restaurant reservation space
Resy, co-founded by CEO Leventhal in 2014, has been gaining clout in the restaurant space against its largest rival, OpenTable, and the sale to Amex last year stands to bolster those efforts. Resy offers table management and a booking technology suite for restaurants as well as a consumer-facing restaurant reservation app and website.
It seems like it used to be so simple: If you wanted to eat at a new or popular restaurant, you would call them, and they would seat you if they had room. No more: Apps like OpenTable, Resy, and Tock dominate the reservation landscape, and even though they mainly exist to make restaurant owners’ jobs easier, they are inarguably more convenient for diners, too — provided you can find a table you actually want.
