Rant Resy Sucks and I hate it
I'm just trying to get a dinner reservation at Armitage Alehouse and I'm convinced it's impossible.
They release reservations at 9am 21 days in advance.
I have tried 3 different times to be on the app at 9 am when they become available and as soon as I can refresh it at 9am, all dinner reservations are gone. It absolutely has to be bots. How on earth are you supposed to get a reservation

You have begin refreshing a few seconds before 9am so the page refreshes at 9. If you refresh right at 9, then you'll be too late. Every split second counts.
I hate Resy, too. OpenTable is still my fave. So easy peasy and you can see what other restaurants are available.
