Resy ChatGPT App Review

Quick answer

Worth using?

Conditional — Worth having connected specifically because its inventory differs from OpenTable's — Resy is where the harder-to-get and independent tables live. That also caps it: coverage is narrower and more city-dependent, so it complements OpenTable rather than replacing it. Listed Needs verification; the August 2026 addition is documented in OpenAI's release notes, but we have not hands-on tested booking flow or availability accuracy.

Overview

Resy joined ChatGPT's restaurant reservation surface in August 2026, alongside OpenTable and Yelp. You describe what you are after, narrow with follow-up questions, and book from Resy's inventory without leaving the chat. Resy's catalog skews toward higher-demand and independent restaurants in major US cities, which makes it a genuinely different inventory pool from OpenTable rather than a second door to the same tables.

Test results

Pending hands-on test inside ChatGPT. The August 2026 availability claim rests on OpenAI's release notes and contemporaneous reporting.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use Resy or OpenTable in ChatGPT?

+

Different inventory, not different quality. OpenTable is broader and better for general availability; Resy is stronger for in-demand and independent restaurants in major US cities. Connecting both widens what ChatGPT can actually book.

Does Resy work outside the US?

+

Resy's coverage is US-centric with some international presence. For Europe, TheFork is the stronger in-ChatGPT reservation app.
