Resy

Amex's reservations platform, and as of summer 2026 the consolidation target for Tock — which makes it the fastest-growing guest-data footprint in FOH even though it sells no POS.

Pricing

transparency: published · unit: per-venue flat monthly subscription, no per-cover fees · processor lock-in: partial

Software
Four plans are published with dollar figures at https://resy.com/join/plans-pricing/ (read 2026-09-08): Platform $289/month and Platform 360 $459/month, plus the two Tock-powered tiers Essential $289/month and Premium $459/month. Prepayment fees are stated per plan — 3% on Essential, 2% on Premium — under the footnote "Standard payment processing fees will apply", and prepaid/ticketing money settles through Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30. The page's FAQ states "Resy pricing is transparent with no per-cover fees. We do not charge any fees on a per reservation basis" and "Each month, you pay one monthly fee". CORRECTION: the 2026-08-01 pass recorded that Resy's restaurant pages "did not render usable content at check time" and scored transparency unknown. That was a dead path, not an absent page — resy.com is a soft-200 catch-all that returns the same 237-character Angular shell for every path including invented ones, and the merchant site lives at resy.com/join/ with its own robots.txt and sitemap. No per-terminal pricing is published because Resy sells no terminal: operators buy iPads and Star Micronics chit printers at retail.
Card processing
2.9% + $0.30 per transaction through Stripe on prepayments, deposits and cancellation/no-show fees ("Resy does not add any additional fees for payment processing"), plus a per-plan prepayment fee of 3% on Essential and 2% on Premium. Resy Pay carries the same 2.9% + 30 cents.
Hardware
None sold or leased. The hardware article names the required kit — iPad Pro 12.9" or iPad 9.7"+ on iOS 15+, cases, keyboards, security stands, hardwiring adapters, a wifi extender and Star Micronics TSP143IIIBi / MCP31LB / TSP650II BTi / TSP654IIBi2 / TSP100 chit printers — and directs operators to buy it "directly from the Apple Store, or obtain one from another retailer like Walmart or Target". No card reader or terminal appears anywhere in it.

Menu, modifiers & pricing engine

No

Supports modifier groups nested at least three levels deep, each level with independent min/max selection counts and a forced-selection (required) flag.

menu-pricing-nested-modifiers

Resy has one level of selection group and it hangs off an event ticket, not a menu item. The documented builder is: create an event ticket, open its "Items" tab, "Start From Scratch", then set "Pricing" ("Items are individually priced and added to the final cost") and "Booking Rules" ("Require selection(s) for booking", "1 selection per guest"). That yields a forced-selection flag and a per-guest selection count — one level — and the members are flat entries drawn from the Item Library, which carries no child group of its own: an item's documented fields are name, cost, Item Type (a tax code), Total Stock, Daily Limit, category and the shifts it is applied to (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-can-i-manage-add-on-items-S1vobw7UO). Nothing nests below that, and no second or third level, no independent min/max pair per level, and no sub-group object appears anywhere. The strings 'modifier group' and 'modifier' occur in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/using-add-ons-to-offer-different-priced-event-tickets-ryEZ6SEc · retrieved 2026-09-08

B
No

A single modifier can carry different prices depending on the parent item and the selected size, configured as a matrix rather than by duplicating the modifier.

menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size

Resy's own documented answer to variant pricing is duplication — precisely what the claim excludes. To sell two prices for one thing the help centre instructs: "You'll first need to create the add-on item for each ticket in the Item Library. (For example, if you want to sell Adult and Children's tickets for an event, you'll need to create an 'Adult Ticket' and 'Children's Ticket' item, which can be priced appropriately.)" Each Item Library entry carries a single cost (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-can-i-manage-add-on-items-S1vobw7UO); there is no price matrix, no parent-item dimension and no size dimension, and an item's price does not vary with what it is attached to. Resy holds no menu item and no size attribute at all, so the parent-by-size matrix the claim describes has no operands here. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/using-add-ons-to-offer-different-priced-event-tickets-ryEZ6SEc · retrieved 2026-09-08

No

Supports modifier quantity tiers (light / regular / extra / double) with a configurable price multiplier per tier, distinct from adding the modifier twice.

menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiers

The Item Library is Resy's only priced-object surface, and its documented fields are name and cost, Item Type (a tax code drawn from a fixed list — Alcoholic Beverage, Book, Candy, Chocolate, Clothing, Donation, Food, Grocery/Pantry, Gum, Merchandise, Non-Alcoholic Beverage, On-Premise Event, Online Event, Single-Use Items), Applied To (shifts), Total Stock, Daily Limit and Date Created. No quantity tier, price multiplier or per-tier pricing appears. The only quantity controls documented anywhere are stock depletion ("Total Stock Quantity = 50. Daily Sales Limit = 10.") and the booking-rule selection count ("1 selection per guest", https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/using-add-ons-to-offer-different-priced-event-tickets-ryEZ6SEc), neither of which prices a tier. No light/regular/extra/double tier vocabulary occurs in any of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-can-i-manage-add-on-items-S1vobw7UO · retrieved 2026-09-08

All first-party payment terminals accept EMV chip and NFC contactless including Apple Pay and Google Pay.

payments-emv-nfc

Resy ships no first-party payment terminal, so there is nothing to accept EMV or terminal NFC. The hardware article enumerates the entire required kit — iPad Pro 12.9" or iPad 9.7"+ on iOS 15 or higher, cases, keyboards, security stands, a Lightning-to-USB3 and USB-to-Ethernet adapter pair for hardwiring, a wifi extender, and Star Micronics TSP143IIIBi / MCP31LB / TSP650II BTi / TSP654IIBi2 / TSP100 chit printers — and no card reader, PIN pad or terminal appears in it. Card acceptance is online or keyed through Stripe, or guest-phone: Resy Pay puts a QR code on the check so diners "can pay their checks on their phone via QR code, and even choose to pay with Google Pay™, Apple Pay®, and eligible American Express Membership Rewards® points towards their meal" (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resy-pay-BJUK2y65) — wallet acceptance in the guest's own handset, not contactless at a Resy terminal. Resy's own text places card hardware outside the product: the Resy Credit excludes transactions "Processed using a third-party system (e.g., mobile card readers or payment platforms)" (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resy-credit-faq-HJSEckqixl). 'EMV' and 'card present' occur in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resyos-recommended-hardware-and-accessories-SyvVbP78_ · retrieved 2026-09-08

The Transactions FAQ enumerates every money-movement function Resy performs — event ticket sales, prepaid reservations, cancellation/no-show fees and third-party prepay — and states 'Resy does not add any additional fees for payment processing. You will see a transaction fee from our third-party payment processor of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction', with refunds issued 'via your Stripe Dashboard'. No stored-value or gift-card instrument appears. The plans-pricing comparison table across all four plans (Platform, Platform 360, Essential, Premium) lists no gift-card row, and re-tested 2026-09-08 over the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance) — the earlier bound of "57 articles" was the curated llms.txt slice, not the manifest — 'gift' occurs in just two, neither of them an instrument: a marketing suggestion to "target VIPs to encourage them to purchase gift cards", and the Resy Credit exclusion list, which names "Resy-branded American Express® Gift Cards; and gift cards purchased at restaurants" among the transactions Resy does NOT process. The larger corpus strengthens this verdict rather than disturbing it. The 'Resy branded American Express Gift Card' that does exist is an Amex consumer prepaid card usable at any Amex-accepting merchant — not a merchant-issued gift-card program with balance tracking across a restaurant group. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/transactions-faq-ByVZQWk8Y · retrieved 2026-08-04

Partial

Voids, refunds, discounts, and no-sales require role-based authorization (manager PIN or approval) and write to an immutable audit log identifying the approver.

payments-refund-void-controls

Resolved from `unknown`. Attribution and a record do exist for the one money action Resy performs in-app: cancelling a prepaid reservation past the cancellation window offers a "Refund payment" toggle, after which the operator must "Select your name from the accountability screen and tap 'Confirm Cancellation'", and "A record of the refund will be listed in the guest's reservation history"; charging a cancellation or no-show fee runs through the same accountability screen (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-do-i-charge-a-cancellation-or-no-show-fee-HJQXfP7Lu). NAMED SHORTFALLS: the accountability screen is an unauthenticated name picker, not an authorization — "Tap the name or initials for the person completing the reservation. If not listed, tap 'Add Name'" — so any user may attribute an action to any name, and no PIN or manager approval is required. The permission model's nine password-protected actions are all reservation and floor-plan actions and include no refund, void, comp or discount (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/user-permissions-r1zCWDmU_). The trail is the guest's reservation history rather than an immutable append-only log: 'activity log' occurs in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance), and the single 'audit' hit is "PrePay audit prior to service", a manual weekly review of a report. Voids, discounts and no-sales have no controls because they do not exist — Resy runs no register. And refunds outside the in-app path leave Resy entirely: "To approve and issue a refund for a guest" the operator is sent to the Stripe Dashboard, where Resy's controls do not reach. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-to-cancel-and-refund-a-prepaid-reservation-SJRfzDXIu · retrieved 2026-09-08

Digital ordering & guest-facing channels

No

Vendor ships a first-party, commission-free web ordering site on the restaurant's own branding/domain that writes orders directly into the POS with no per-order marketplace commission.

digital-first-party-web

What Resy embeds on the restaurant's own domain is a BOOKING widget, not an ordering site: the article is "Resy Widget Installation", the code comes from Venue > Basic Info > Widget in the Resy Dashboard, and the install targets are BentoBox, Squarespace, WordPress, Wix and GoDaddy — the thing installed takes reservations. No commission-free web ordering menu exists to write orders into a POS, and Resy has no POS to write them into.

Resy At Home, a 2020 prepaid-pickup programme for "large format meals, grocery boxes, or meal kits" built on the Events ticketing tool, appears only in blog posts dated 2020 and in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). Resy's own positioning corroborates the absence: for takeout and delivery revenue it refers operators to a partner, announcing that "Resy has teamed up with ChowNow, a platform for commission-free online ordering, marketing automation, and delivery tools for restaurants" (https://blog.resy.com/for-restaurants/four-tips-to-help-boost-takeout-revenue-through-the-end-of-winter/, 2024-03-06) — a vendor that shipped this capability would not source it. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/booking-button-installation-Skx_7ueNo · retrieved 2026-09-08

The web/app ordering menu is generated from the same POS menu record as in-store — one item edit propagates to all first-party digital channels without a separate digital menu build.

digital-menu-single-source

There is no single menu record to propagate from, because Resy holds no menu. Its only item store is the Item Library of prepaid add-on items, and its scope object is the SHIFT, not the channel: "Applied To: Shows which shifts you have applied these items", and "When you make an edit to an existing add-on item, this will affect all shifts that the item is being used and all transactions going forward." That propagation runs across shifts within one venue's booking flow — Resy.com, the Resy app and the booking widget render the same booking record — and there is no in-store channel to keep in step, Resy running no register. The restaurant's actual food menu lives outside Resy entirely; Resy's own guidance to operators is to "upload a sample menu" to their Google profile (https://resy.com/join/resources/digital-marketing-for-restaurants/). https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-can-i-manage-add-on-items-S1vobw7UO · retrieved 2026-09-08

Partial

Guests can create an account with saved addresses, saved (tokenized) payment methods, and one-tap reorder of a previous order across first-party channels.

digital-account-saved-payment

Resolved from `unknown`. Saved, tokenized payment against a guest account is real and documented: with Resy Pay a diner pays the check from their phone by QR code and can "use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card saved on their Resy account", split the check with friends, and — for eligible Amex Card Members — apply Membership Rewards points; guests also store a card against prepaid reservations and cancellation-fee policies. NAMED SHORTFALLS: the other two elements of the claim do not exist and cannot, because Resy has no ordering channel — there is no previous order to re-place, so one-tap reorder is absent, and no delivery or fulfilment address is stored because nothing is fulfilled. The account is also the consumer Resy network account rather than a restaurant-branded first-party channel, and Resy Pay itself rides the operator's existing POS (its compatible list is Micros RES 3700, Micros Simphony FE, Micros Simphony, NCR Aloha, Toast and Upserve/Breadcrumb), so the stored instrument pays a check the POS owns. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resy-pay-BJUK2y65 · retrieved 2026-09-08

Guest data, loyalty & marketing

Partial

Maintains a single guest profile that automatically merges transactions from in-store POS, first-party web/app ordering, and kiosk under one identity (phone or email match), with documented dedup/merge behavior.

guest-loyalty-unified-profile

A single guest profile per venue account is real and its dedup/merge behavior is documented — but the merge is manual, not automatic. The help centre: 'You will need to merge guest profiles if a guest has multiple profiles within Resy. Merging the profiles will keep all guest visit information in one place.' Duplicate detection surfaces as a blue exclamation point next to the phone/email that opens a 'Duplicate Phone Number' pop-up, after which staff confirm 'Merge Guests', pick the surviving name/number/email and tap 'Merge Guest' — a staff-initiated flow, with a second manual path via the profile's three-dot menu. Hard limit in the same article: 'App User profiles cannot be merged. When a guest creates their profile through Resy.com or the Resy App, their information is protected and can only be edited by the guest or Resy Support.' Channel coverage also falls short of the claim: what lands on the profile is reservation/visit data plus POS check data via the check-matching integration (POS Integrations article) — Resy has no first-party ordering or kiosk channel to merge. The enterprise marketing page asserts 'Unlock a unified guest profile — a single view of each guest across every concept' (https://resy.com/join/hospitality-groups/), but no automatic phone/email-match merge is documented anywhere. https://helpdesk.resy.com/how-to-merge-guest-profiles-H1Qq89cbt · retrieved 2026-08-04

The nearest constructs are read-only labels rather than earn rules: "New regulars are guests who have completed their third all-time visit to your restaurant" is an analytics definition whose documented follow-up is manual — "Make sure to note their status on their profile so you can acknowledge them and/or their loyalty the next time they dine!" — and auto-tagging that "Automatically identify VIPs, regulars, and special-occasion guests" (https://resy.com/join/guest-data/) produces a tag, not a balance, with no reward attached and nothing to redeem. The points that do appear in the corpus are American Express Membership Rewards, spent by Card Members through Resy Pay (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resy-pay-BJUK2y65), and the Resy Credit is an Amex cardholder benefit whose own FAQ excludes merchant instruments from it (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resy-credit-faq-HJSEckqixl) — both are Amex issuer programmes that the restaurant neither configures nor funds. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/advanced-analytics-faq-S1zUFF61C · retrieved 2026-09-08

The Marketing and Promotion category enumerates the whole marketing surface — the Mailchimp article, Promote on Social Media, Facebook/Google/Instagram listing integrations, and manual 2-Way Texting — and contains no triggered campaign feature. The only automated guest emails Resy itself sends are transactional: 'Guests booking or making reservation changes online will receive an automated email from Resy with the reservation details every time they book, change, or cancel a reservation' (booked/change/cancel/waitlist, body-customizable on Platform 360 only). Birthday, first-visit and lapsed win-back automations appear nowhere; the vendor's documented answer to lifecycle marketing is the Mailchimp hand-off. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-to-send-an-email-blast-BJGSDmUd · retrieved 2026-08-04

Manager overrides and approvals are attributed to the individual approver and written to an immutable audit trail queryable after the fact.

Shortfall: the gate is a single venue-level secret — 'When performing an action that is password protected, users will be prompted to enter the password. If entered incorrectly, the action will fail' — and the per-user control is only a binary 'Enforce password protection' bypass flag, so an approval cannot be attributed to the individual approver; this is exactly the shared-PIN pattern the claim is written against. No override log, activity trail or after-the-fact query surface is described in this article or anywhere in the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance) — re-tested 2026-09-08, the earlier bound of "57 articles" having been the curated llms.txt slice rather than the manifest: 'activity log' occurs zero times, and the single 'audit' hit is "PrePay audit prior to service", a manual weekly review of the PrePay report rather than a log. https://helpdesk.resy.com/user-permissions-r1zCWDmU_ · retrieved 2026-08-04

reporting-realtime-dashboard

The browser dashboard has a live-ish operational view: the Analytics Home page 'is where you can see today's cover stats at a glance and compare them to yesterday's performance', and with a POS integration the reservation profile carries a 'Check' tab with 'Real-time check level data' plus automatic 'Check Dropped' and course-status updates. Shortfall: the live surface is covers and per-reservation checks, not an aggregated live sales dashboard — the check tab is documented as refreshing only when 'the check tab is closed and reopened', and every sales roll-up is a scheduled email rather than a screen: Daily Forecast 'sent daily and only for dinner shifts', POS Trends Dashboard 'sent weekly', POS Overview 'sent weekly', Service Snapshot 'sent to your inbox at 6:00 am local time'. Sales data at all requires the POS integration, which is 'available for Platform and Platform 360 restaurant partners'. Off-premise mobile access is asserted on the marketing site ('Mobile access — Check in on performance anytime, anywhere', https://resy.com/join/analytics/) but the help centre documents the ResyOS iPad app only for table management, so the mobile half of the claim is unevidenced in documentation. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resy-analytics-BJdQMvX8_ · retrieved 2026-08-04

Generates a daily close-out/EOD report reconciling gross sales, net sales, tax, tips, discounts, refunds, tender types, and expected cash deposit in one document.

reporting-eod-closeout

Resy produces no daily close-out. Its POS reporting article enumerates the whole scheduled set — "Daily Forecast - sent daily and only for dinner shifts", "POS Trends Dashboard - sent weekly", "POS Overview - sent weekly" — and the daily one is a forward projection ("a projection of your expected sales and covers based on the previous five weeks of data along with anticipated no-shows, VIPs expected to dine, your spread of covers and confirmation status"), not a reconciliation of the day that closed. None of the components the claim names is reported against a business day: 'net sales', 'gross sales', 'close-out', 'end of day' and 'close of business' occur in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). Structurally there is nothing to reconcile — Resy runs no register, so there are no tender types, no drawer and no expected cash deposit; the money it does move (prepayments, deposits, cancellation and no-show fees) settles through Stripe on a payout schedule set in the Stripe Dashboard, outside any Resy document. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resyos-and-pos-reporting-SJRv9oy2O · retrieved 2026-09-08

Provides a product mix (PMIX) report at individual menu item AND modifier level with quantity, gross and net sales, filterable by daypart and revenue center.

reporting-pmix-modifier-level

Corrected from an uncited `no`: an item-level product-mix report does exist. "POS: Product Mix" is a named Advanced Analytics report that "shows your most frequently ordered food items for First Time Diners, your Top Food Spenders, and Item Category Sales by Reservation Source", with a date-range filter and a filter "for unique POS Item categories"; the POS Trends Dashboard likewise "shows sales category trends and top selling items", and the help centre tells operators to "Check out the product mix and spend by sales category to inform menu planning, ordering, pricing and upselling" (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resyos-and-pos-reporting-SJRv9oy2O). NAMED SHORTFALLS, each of them required by the claim: there is no modifier dimension — Resy holds no modifier object at all, so modifier-level PMIX is not merely undocumented but unrepresentable; the item view is a "First Time Diners Top 10" segment ranking plus a category-by-source breakdown rather than a full item list carrying quantity, gross and net sales columns; and the only documented filters are date range and POS Item category, with no daypart and no revenue centre. The report is also gated to Platform 360 and depends on the POS integration, so the item and check data it reads are the connected POS's, not Resy's. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/pos-product-mix-BkRm18xn6 · retrieved 2026-09-08

Multi-location, franchise & enterprise governance

No

Supports a named organizational hierarchy of at least three levels (e.g. enterprise > region/group > location) as a first-class object that reporting and permissions can be scoped to, not just a flat list of locations.

multi-location-org-hierarchy

Resy's documented multi-venue model is exactly the flat list the claim excludes. The Dashboard Booking article (Platform 360 only) describes the entire cross-venue surface as a switcher: 'The venue selector is in the top right corner to quickly toggle between different restaurants', 'toggle between different venues more efficiently'. No group, region or brand tier exists anywhere in the public help centre: the Reporting and Analytics article and the Resy OS FAQ contain zero occurrences of 'group', 'location' or 'multi', every documented report is per-venue, and the user-permissions article assigns per-action toggles to individual users with no venue- or group-scoping mechanism. Even the enterprise sales page (https://resy.com/join/hospitality-groups/) claims only two levels — 'manage reservations, guest data, reporting, and performance across all locations within a single system' and 'enterprise reporting' — and never names a middle tier or an org-hierarchy object. A named three-level hierarchy that reporting and permissions scope to is absent from both the documentation and the vendor's own enterprise pitch. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/desktop-reservation-flow-SJEDlJNn2 · retrieved 2026-08-04

A corporate-level menu can be authored once and published to a chosen set of locations in a single action, with a publish/version history showing what was pushed, when, and by whom.

multi-location-central-menu-publish

There is no menu to author centrally and no publish action of any kind. Add-on items are created per venue in that venue's Item Library and scoped to that venue's shifts ("Applied To: Shows which shifts you have applied these items", https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-can-i-manage-add-on-items-S1vobw7UO); no corporate tier owns them, and no roll-out or push-to-locations action occurs in any of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). Resy's own enterprise pitch marks the ceiling: hospitality groups get to "manage reservations, guest data, reporting, and performance across all locations within a single system", with "Multi-location reporting: Compare and manage performance across venues" and "Multi-location visibility: Easily access guest profiles across multiple venues" — visibility and reporting across venues, never authoring a record and pushing it down to a chosen set of them, and never a version history of what was pushed, when and by whom. The multi-venue affordance that is documented is the Platform 360 dashboard's venue selector, a flat toggle between restaurants. https://resy.com/join/hospitality-groups/ · retrieved 2026-09-08

Supports price tiers/zones so one menu item carries different prices per location group, per order channel, and per daypart without duplicating the item record.

multi-location-price-zones

An Item Library entry carries exactly one price — the Item column "Shows the name of each item and their cost" — and no tier, zone, channel or daypart dimension hangs off it. 'price zone' and 'price tier' occur in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance) and none of the 71 merchant pages; 'daypart' appears once on the merchant site, in /resources/ editorial. The documented way to charge two prices is to create two items ("you'll need to create an 'Adult Ticket' and 'Children's Ticket' item, which can be priced appropriately", https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/using-add-ons-to-offer-different-priced-event-tickets-ryEZ6SEc) — duplicating the record, which is what the claim excludes. Items are per-venue objects in the first place, so there is no location-group tier for a price to vary across, and Resy sells through one channel, its own booking flow, with no in-store or third-party channel to price differently. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/how-can-i-manage-add-on-items-S1vobw7UO · retrieved 2026-09-08

Integrations, API & extensibility

No

Public, self-serve API reference documentation is readable without a signed partner agreement, NDA, or sales call.

extensibility-public-api-docs

Resy confirms an API exists but publishes no reference for it, and the only offered path to integration is a sales conversation. The integrations page shows partner logos with 'Book a demo' / 'Schedule a demo today' CTAs and links no documentation; the hospitality-groups page asserts 'With an open API, webhooks, and integrations, Resy serves up your data' with nothing to read behind it; the plans-pricing table's 'Booking API' row (Platform 360 and Premium) likewise links no reference. Checked 2026-08-04: resy.com/developers and api.resy.com both serve or redirect to the consumer Angular shell at resy.com; developers.resy.com and dev.resy.com fail DNS resolution, consistent with the 2026-08-04 pass recorded on the OAuth cell (developers/developer/docs/partners subdomains all NXDOMAIN, api.resy.com/docs 302s to the consumer site); re-tested 2026-09-08 over the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance) — the earlier bound of "57 articles" was the curated llms.txt slice — 'API' occurs in three, none of them a reference: a static "Venue ID & API Key" that an operator pastes into BentoBox, and two passing mentions. No endpoint, parameter, schema or authentication contract is published anywhere.

Third-party apps authenticate via OAuth 2.0 with scoped, operator-granted, individually revocable permissions (not shared static API keys or credential sharing).

extensibility-oauth-partner-apps

OVERTURNED FROM `unknown`, on evidence the 2026-08-04 pass could not see: it searched 57 articles — the curated llms.txt slice — and concluded "zero contain 'OAuth', 'API key' or 'API'". Across the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance) both strings do appear, and what they show settles the claim against it. The one documented case of a third party authenticating TO Resy uses a shared static credential: BentoBox "is integrated with Resy and does not require the full widget code. You only need the Venue ID & API Key", which the operator copies out of the Resy Dashboard's widget page and pastes into BentoBox. That is a bearer key scoped to a venue, not an operator-granted OAuth grant, and nothing describes scopes, per-app consent, expiry or individual revocation. The corpus's only OAuth flow runs the other way and is Square's, not Resy's — enabling the Square integration sends the operator to an americanexpress.com partner-gateway /oauth link and then into Square's App Marketplace to "Follow the prompts to authorize" (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/pos-integrations-square-Bk6NliyHJg), which is Resy authenticating as a client to Square. No OAuth authorization server, scope list or app-management surface is published on any Resy property, and developers.resy.com, developer.resy.com, docs.resy.com and partners.resy.com remain NXDOMAIN. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/booking-button-installation-Skx_7ueNo · retrieved 2026-09-08

NEW SURFACE (2026-09-17, crt.sh on resy.com, 217 names): an anonymous OpenAPI 3.1 spec "Demand API" ("API for external partners", version 0.1.0) is served at https://partner-api.sandbox.resy.com/openapi.json with /docs and /redoc (49,254 bytes, 11 paths). It is a SANDBOX, pre-release copy: production partner-api.resy.com returns 404 on /openapi.json, /docs and /redoc, and the demo/staging hosts 403. Its paths are auth (B2B authenticate, account-link), availability search/calendar, venues/all, and three TEST endpoints that show Resy runs an outbound reservations webhook: POST /v1/test/webhook/receiver "Test Reservations Webhook ... :param payload: The reservation webhook payload (JSON)", POST /v1/test/webhook/validate "Validate stored webhook credentials and return an access token + headers" (body: webhook_id), and POST /v1/test/webhook/oauth/token "Local OAuth token endpoint for testing webhook credentials. Accepts JSON body matching Toast's authentication API format". No OpenAPI `webhooks` object, no event names and no payload schema are published. Why this stays unknown: (1) merge policy - a sandbox/pre-release spec may not carry the value, notes only; (2) the events are RESERVATION events, whereas the claim enumerates order lifecycle events (created, modified, paid, voided, refunded) that Resy, running no register, does not own - an adjacent feature, not part of the claim.

Its assets are served from tock-public.imgix.net and the header banner reads "Tock is now part of the Resy network"; the footer now carries TWO products and TWO help desks -- "Help desk: Resy: Resources for Platform & Platform 360 plans" (helpdesk.resy.com) and "Help desk: Resy powered by Tock: Resources for Essential & Premium plans" (dashboard.exploretock.com) -- plus separate "Resy Merchant Terms of Service" and "Tock Merchant Terms of Service". Nothing in the atlas record covers the Tock-side platform. (2) /join/integrations/ is the first published statement of what Resy's POS integration actually does, and it is INBOUND, not an outbound order-event push: "POS & Event Systems: Sync reservation and check data in real time to understand guest spend, optimize table turns, and improve accuracy across service. Send down payment information, including prepayment and deposits ... Turn tables more efficiently with real-time course statuses." The page's own FAQ JSON-LD: "Does Resy integrate with POS systems? Yes, Resy's guest management platform integrates with POS systems, CRM, reporting, and analytics tools". Partner logos include aloha, heartland, commerce-7, fishbowl. This is a marketing page (grade C) and, per merge policy, a partner registry bounds partners, not features. (3) THE PRODUCTION PARTNER API WAS RE-PROBED WITH CURL (not node fetch) today: partner-api.resy.com/openapi.json, /docs and /redoc all return 404 (22-byte body), so the prior note's finding stands and is not a node-fetch artefact; partner-api.sandbox.resy.com/openapi.json still serves the same byte-identical 49,254-byte Demand API 0.1.0 spec. pos.resy.com, transaction.resy.com, item.resy.com and inventory.resy.com (production CT names) all 302 to resy.com/ and serve no spec; rgs.resy.com no longer resolves. WHY IT STAYS UNKNOWN: unchanged from the prior pass -- Resy runs no register, so the order-lifecycle events the claim enumerates (created, modified, paid, voided, refunded) are events it consumes from the operator's POS rather than emits, and the only webhook surface it publishes is reservation-shaped and sandbox-only.

Reliability, offline & operations

No

Order entry, ticket routing, and check printing continue on-terminal when the internet connection is lost.

reliability-offline-order-entry

Resy OS's documented answer to lost connectivity is to restore connectivity, not to keep working without it. The troubleshooting article's remedies are "Try connecting to a different WiFi network or Mobile HotSpot", "Check your internet speed. Perform an internet speed test", "Clear your cache in the app by tapping Venue Name > Settings > About > Clear Cache", and force-restarting the iPad; the browser-side article says "Make sure you are connected to the internet. Try a different network and/or hotspot" (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/troubleshooting-common-issues-S10dQb2rbg).

The only printing it documents is a reservation chit from the host stand: "You can print a chit from the guests reservation profile in ResyOS", carrying "Guest name", "Reservation details such as date and time, party size and table type and number", "Guest and Visit Tags", "Guest and Visit Notes" and "Add On Item Name and Quantity (not price)" — a seating slip, with the money explicitly stripped out of it. There is no kitchen routing to continue: 'KDS' and 'kitchen display' occur in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance) (the merchant site's four hits are /resources/ editorial about POS systems generally), no station, prep-area or route object exists, and Resy holds no order to route. The printer itself is a Bluetooth Star Micronics paired to one iPad, and its documented failure handling is manual reconnection rather than offline queueing (https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resyos-recommended-hardware-and-accessories-SyvVbP78_). https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/troubleshooting-for-bluetooth-chit-printers-rycyGwXId · retrieved 2026-09-08

No

The system automatically fails over to a backup printer or KDS station when a configured kitchen printer is unreachable, and alerts staff.

reliability-printer-fallback

The vendor's own article on an unreachable printer is the decisive evidence, and it prescribes people rather than failover. "Chit Printing in the ResyOS App" enumerates why the printer drops — "Bluetooth printers may lose connection for any of the following reasons: 1. Paper is low or out. 2. The iPad is too far from the printer. (Maximum of 15 feet away) 3. Bluetooth has been disabled on the iPad. 4. The printer is not set to automatically reconnect to the iPad." — and answers with a manual checklist ("Check the printer for any error lights. Make sure the paper isn't low and the paper port is comp[letely closed]"). No backup printer is nominated, nothing reroutes, and no alert is raised to staff: 'backup printer', 'failover', 'fails over' and 'reprint' occur in none of the 204 public help-centre articles (the helpdesk sitemap’s 199 en_us articles plus 5 more referenced only from article bodies, all fetched 2026-09-08 as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance). There is also no second destination to fail over TO — Resy documents one chit printer paired per iPad, and no KDS station exists in the product. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/troubleshooting-for-bluetooth-chit-printers-rycyGwXId · retrieved 2026-09-08

The Resy Merchant Terms of Service are public and linked from the pricing page footer. Section 6.1: 'After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional successive Renewal Terms as specified on the Order Form ... unless either party notifies the other party of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Term as specified on the Order Form.' Shortfall: the cancellation notice window is published (30 days) but the renewal term length is not — both the Initial Term and each Renewal Term are deferred to the signed Order Form, as are any termination fees ('any termination fees charged pursuant to the Order Form'). The help centre reinforces this, routing 'Upgrade contract terms (i.e., monthly to yearly)' and 'Contract Changes' to a Restaurant Success Manager rather than to published terms. https://cloud.send.resy.com/terms · retrieved 2026-08-04

OVERTURNED FROM `unknown`. The prior pass recorded "resy.com/for-restaurants returned no readable content at check time", but resy.com is a soft-200 catch-all — every path on that host, including invented ones, returns the same 237-character Angular shell — so that was a dead path, not an absent page. The merchant site lives at resy.com/join/, with its own robots.txt and sitemap, and its pricing page publishes four named plans at specific dollar figures: Platform "$289 /month", Essential "$289 /month" (Powered by Tock), Platform 360 "$459 /month" and Premium "$459 /month", with prepayment fees stated per plan ("3% fee on prepayments", "2% fee on prepayments") under the footnote "Standard payment processing fees will apply". Each plan carries a self-serve "Get Platform" / "Get Essential" / "Get Platform 360" / "Get Premium" button rather than contact-sales only, and the page's FAQ states "Resy pricing is transparent with no per-cover fees. We do not charge any fees on a per reservation basis" and "Each month, you pay one monthly fee". Per-additional-terminal pricing is not published because Resy sells no terminal — operators buy iPads and chit printers at retail.

All required terminals, KDS screens, and printers can be purchased outright at a published price, with no mandatory multi-year hardware lease or rental.

commercial-hardware-purchase-outright

Resy sells no hardware and leases none. The hardware article specifies commodity kit the operator buys at retail: iPad Pro 12.9" or iPad 9.7"-or-larger on iOS 15+, named cases/keyboards/stands, a Lightning-to-USB3 plus USB-to-Ethernet adapter for hardwiring, and Star Micronics chit printers (TSP143IIIBi, MCP31LB, TSP650II BTi, TSP654IIBi2, TSP100 series). It explicitly directs purchase to third-party retail — 'We encourage you to buy a Certified Refurbished iPad for cost savings directly from the Apple Store, or obtain one from another retailer like Walmart or Target' — so all required devices are outright purchases at publicly listed retail prices with no Resy hardware lease or rental. No KDS or terminal is required because Resy is a reservations and table-management product, not a register. https://helpdesk.resy.com/en_us/resyos-recommended-hardware-and-accessories-SyvVbP78_ · retrieved 2026-08-04

Pricing and identity

FieldVerdictWhat the verifier found
analysisdowngrade-to-partialTHE BOUND WAS THE CURATED INDEX, NOT THE PUBLISHER'S MANIFEST. helpdesk.resy.com serves an llms.txt listing 55 articles and a sitemap index listing 269 locs, of which sitemap-articles-1..3 hold 199 en_us articles; an href fixpoint over those bodies surfaced 5 more that are referenced but unlisted (event-cancellation-faq, how-to-use-exclusive-online-booking-channels, how-to-edit-table-availability-and-pacing-in-a-shift, resy-os-pos-reporting, how-to-create-a-general-admission-event), for 204. The llms.txt is a strict subset — zero llms-only entries against 214 sitemap-only entries — so "57 articles" measured about a quarter of the corpus. Every zero-hit assertion in the record was re-measured over the full 204, fetched as Markdown via the published `<url>.md` affordance; all survived, but two prior statements had been false ("zero contain 'OAuth', 'API key' or 'API'"; "none of the 57 public help-centre articles contains 'API'"), and one of those was concealing a verdict. THE SCOPE SENTENCE WAS RE-DERIVED RATHER THAN INHERITED and it holds: the merchant sitemap's 71 pages are 20 product/company pages and 51 /resources/ editorial posts, with no POS, ordering, delivery, inventory, kitchen or labour page, no such row in the four-plan table, and Resy's own explainer placing it as the reservation platform a POS integrates with. All 20 uncited `no`s were audited: 19 upheld and cited at grade B, one overturned. Two homonym traps were disarmed — "offline" is Resy's word for availability that is not bookable online (all 6 hits), never a network state, and "inventory" means bookable seats, never ingredients — and the three reliability cells were checked as live rather than vacuous, Resy really does print to Star Micronics Bluetooth chit printers. Narrative rewritten against the frozen corpus of 204 help articles, 71 merchant pages and 81 restaurant blog posts. source
pricing.transparencyresolve-to-yesTHE PREMISE WAS A HOST TRAP, NOT AN ABSENT PAGE. resy.com is a soft-200 catch-all: /robots.txt, /llms.txt, /sitemap.xml and an invented path all return the identical 237-character stripped-text Angular shell, so "did not render usable content" was the host answering that way for every path. Resy's merchant site is a separate application at resy.com/join/ with its own robots.txt (User-agent: * / Allow: /) and sitemap, 404ing honestly under a distinguishable "Page not found | Join Resy" template. Its pricing page publishes four named plans at specific dollar figures — Platform $289/month, Platform 360 $459/month, Essential $289/month and Premium $459/month (the last two Powered by Tock) — with per-plan prepayment fees of 3% and 2%, the footnote "Standard payment processing fees will apply", a self-serve Get button per plan rather than contact-sales only, and an FAQ stating "Resy pricing is transparent with no per-cover fees. We do not charge any fees on a per reservation basis". transparency unknown -> published; pricing.processing_rate, pricing.hardware and pricing.processor_lock_in populated from the same pass. This is the same shape of error as the owner-com finding of the previous session: a guessed path's non-answer read as a fact about the vendor. source

Capability claims

ClaimAs first scoredVerdictWhat the verifier found
payments-gift-cardsunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-noThe placeholder was a never-examined marker, not a finding. The Transactions FAQ is an enumeration of every money-movement function Resy performs — event ticketing, prepaid reservations, cancellation and no-show fees, third-party prepay — with refunds pushed out to the Stripe Dashboard and a flat 2.9% + $0.30 third-party processor fee. No stored-value instrument appears there, no gift-card row appears in the four-plan comparison table on the pricing page, and the string 'gift' occurs in none of the 57 public help-centre articles. The only Resy gift card that exists is the consumer-facing Amex-branded prepaid card, which is spendable at any Amex merchant and explicitly cannot be used to book on Resy — it is not a merchant gift-card program with group-wide balance tracking. That is an enumerated absence, not a failure to find. source
labor-granular-rbacunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-partialResy does document a permission model, and it is per-action rather than tiered: two Booking Permissions, eight Update Settings Permissions, a separate Reports tab controlling report access and email distribution, and a per-user 'Enforce password protection' flag. Not a yes, because the grantable actions are all reservation and settings actions — no void, comp, discount, refund, drawer-open or price-change permission exists, Resy running no register — permissions attach to individual users with no reusable role object, two toggles are Platform 360 / Full Stack only, and per-location scoping is not documented. source
labor-manager-override-auditunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-partialPassword Protections is a documented override gate over nine named actions (unassigned reservations, in-house inventory assignment, opening/closing days and shifts, table blocks, floor-plan edits in the app, disabling online booking for a shift, single-day availability changes, VIP tag changes, unassigning Global Dining Access slots). It fails the attribution half of the claim on the vendor's own wording: users 'will be prompted to enter the password', a single venue-level secret, with the only per-user control being a binary bypass flag — so an approval cannot be tied to an individual approver. No override log or queryable trail is described anywhere in the public help centre; 'audit' and 'activity log' return no hits across all 57 articles. source
reporting-realtime-dashboardunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-partialDocumentation shows a live operational view but not a live sales dashboard. Analytics Home shows 'today's cover stats at a glance'; with the POS integration the reservation profile carries 'Real-time check level data' and auto-updating course and Check Dropped statuses. Against that: the check tab refreshes only when 'closed and reopened'; every sales aggregate is an emailed report on a schedule (Daily Forecast daily and dinner-only, POS Trends weekly, POS Overview weekly, Service Snapshot at 6:00 am); sales data at all requires the POS integration, which is Platform / Platform 360 only. The marketing site claims 'Live performance dashboard' and 'Mobile access', but that is grade C assertion with no documentation behind it, so the off-premise mobile half of the claim stays unevidenced. source
commercial-autorenew-terms-publishedunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-partialThe Resy Merchant Terms of Service are public — linked from the pricing-page footer at cloud.send.resy.com/terms — and section 6.1 publishes the cancellation notice window: non-renewal requires notice 'at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Term'. The renewal term itself is not published: both the Initial Term and each Renewal Term are 'as specified on the Order Form', as are termination fees. Half the claim is met in public terms and half is deferred to the signed quote, which is exactly partial. source
commercial-hardware-purchase-outrightunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-yesResy neither sells nor leases hardware. Its hardware article names the full required kit — iPad Pro 12.9" or iPad 9.7"+ on iOS 15 or higher, cases, keyboards, security stands, a Lightning-to-USB3 and USB-to-Ethernet adapter pair for hardwiring, and Star Micronics TSP143IIIBi / MCP31LB / TSP650II BTi / TSP654IIBi2 / TSP100 chit printers — and directs operators to buy it at retail, 'directly from the Apple Store, or obtain one from another retailer like Walmart or Target'. Everything required is an outright purchase at public retail pricing with no lease or rental term from the vendor. No terminal or KDS is in scope: Resy is reservations and table management, not a register. source
guest-loyalty-unified-profileunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-partialThe single guest profile exists and merge behavior is documented, but it fails the 'automatically merges' half of the claim on the vendor's own wording: duplicates surface as a blue exclamation point opening a 'Duplicate Phone Number' pop-up that staff must confirm ('Merge Guests', pick surviving name/number, 'Merge Guest'), plus a second manual path from the profile menu. The article also states 'App User profiles cannot be merged' — profiles guests create via Resy.com or the app can only be edited by the guest or Resy Support. Channel-wise the profile unifies reservations/visits and integrated POS check data; Resy has no first-party ordering or kiosk channel. Documented dedup exists, automatic merge does not. source
guest-loyalty-lifecycle-automationunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-noEnumerated absence, not a failure to find. The help centre's documented answer to guest marketing is a manual CSV export of the Guestbook imported into Mailchimp for one-off 'Email Blasts' (with a Constant Contact discount as the alternative), and the Marketing and Promotion category enumerates the entire marketing surface — Mailchimp, social promotion, Facebook/Google/Instagram listings, manual 2-way texting — with no triggered campaign anywhere. The only automated emails Resy sends are transactional reservation booked/change/cancel/waitlist messages. Birthday, first-visit thank-you and lapsed win-back automations do not exist in the product; the vendor's own docs route that job to a third-party ESP. source
multi-location-org-hierarchyunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-noThe claim excludes 'just a flat list of locations', and a flat list is precisely what Resy documents: the Platform 360 dashboard's 'venue selector ... to quickly toggle between different restaurants'. No group/region/brand tier appears anywhere in the public help centre — reporting articles are per-venue with zero occurrences of 'group' or 'location', and permissions are per-user action toggles with no scoping object. Decisively, even Resy's own enterprise sales page claims only 'all locations within a single system' and 'enterprise reporting', never naming a middle tier or hierarchy object — when the enterprise pitch itself tops out at two levels, a documented three-level first-class hierarchy is absent, not undiscovered. source
extensibility-public-api-docsunknown / grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass'resolve-to-noThe claim is about whether a public, self-serve API reference is readable without a partner agreement or sales call, and every path a would-be integrator can take on Resy's own properties was walked: the integrations page is partner logos plus 'Book a demo' with no docs link; the hospitality-groups page asserts 'an open API, webhooks, and integrations' with nothing behind it; the pricing table's 'Booking API' row links no reference; resy.com/developers and api.resy.com serve or redirect to the consumer Angular shell; developers.resy.com and dev.resy.com fail DNS (matching the earlier pass's NXDOMAIN findings for developer/docs/partners subdomains and the api.resy.com/docs 302); no help-centre article contains 'API'. The vendor says the API exists and offers a demo call as the only way in — that is a documented gate, not a missing page. source
commercial-autorenew-terms-publishedpartial, grade A - cited to https://cloud.send.resy.com/termsupheldGrade only, value and evidence untouched. Vendor LEGAL pages (terms, EULA, MSA, product-specific terms) are graded B corpus-wide - measured, not argued: 217 of 259 claims citing a legal-shaped URL are B. This claim was one of 21 stragglers still at A across 8 vendors. Each was inspected and every one is a genuine contract rather than a technical document, so the loose URL predicate produced no false positives here. The ladder does not name contracts explicitly, which is why this keeps recurring. source
reporting-pmix-modifier-levelno / grade F, placeholder rationale "Migrated from the 2026-08-01 research pass; no source URL was recorded."upgrade-to-partialA NAMED PRODUCT MIX REPORT EXISTS AND THE PRIOR PASS NEVER OPENED IT. "Advanced Analytics - POS: Product Mix" reports most-frequently-ordered food items, top food spenders and Item Category Sales by Reservation Source, with date-range and POS-Item-category filters; the POS Trends Dashboard reports sales category trends and top selling items, and the help centre tells operators to "Check out the product mix and spend by sales category to inform menu planning, ordering, pricing and upselling". The claim is still not met — no modifier dimension exists (Resy holds no modifier object at all, so modifier-level PMIX is unrepresentable rather than merely undocumented), the item view is a "First Time Diners Top 10" segment ranking rather than a full item list with quantity, gross and net sales columns, and the only filters are date and item category, with no daypart and no revenue centre — but "a PMIX report is absent" was wrong, so the cell is partial with those shortfalls named. Note the subject: the report reads the connected POS's item and check data under Platform 360, not Resy's own. source
commercial-pricing-publishedunknown / grade F, "resy.com/for-restaurants returned no readable content at check time; cannot confirm whether figures are published."resolve-to-yesThe premise was a soft-200 catch-all path, not an absent page. resy.com/join/plans-pricing/ publishes four named plans at specific dollar figures — Platform $289/month, Platform 360 $459/month, Essential $289/month and Premium $459/month — with per-plan prepayment fees (3% and 2%), the footnote "Standard payment processing fees will apply", a self-serve Get button on each plan rather than contact-sales only, and an FAQ stating "Resy pricing is transparent with no per-cover fees. We do not charge any fees on a per reservation basis". Graded C: the vendor's own marketing and pricing page. Per-additional-terminal pricing is absent because Resy sells no terminal, which the hardware article confirms by directing operators to buy iPads at retail. source
extensibility-oauth-partner-appsunknown / grade F, "Assessed 2026-08-04 and unresolved... All 57 public help-centre articles were text-searched: zero contain 'OAuth', 'API key' or 'API'."resolve-to-noTHE ZERO WAS AN ARTEFACT OF THE 57-ARTICLE BOUND, AND THE FULL CORPUS SETTLES THE CELL AGAINST THE CLAIM. Over 204 articles both strings occur. The only documented case of a third party authenticating TO Resy is a shared static credential: BentoBox "does not require the full widget code. You only need the Venue ID & API Key", copied from the Resy Dashboard's widget page — precisely the mechanism the claim excludes, with no scopes, no per-app consent, no expiry and no individual revocation described anywhere. The corpus's only OAuth flow runs the other way and belongs to Square (an americanexpress.com partner-gateway /oauth link into Square's App Marketplace), i.e. Resy authenticating as a client. Resolved to no rather than left unknown because a positive, contrary mechanism is now documented — this is no longer an absence of evidence. source
payments-refund-void-controlsunknown / grade F, "Prepaid/ticketed events inherited from Tock imply refund handling; controls and audit not verified."resolve-to-partialBoth halves are now measured. Attribution and a record exist: refunding a prepaid reservation requires "Select your name from the accountability screen and tap 'Confirm Cancellation'", and "A record of the refund will be listed in the guest's reservation history". But the accountability screen is an unauthenticated name picker — "Tap the name or initials for the person completing the reservation. If not listed, tap 'Add Name'" — so it attributes without authorizing, no PIN or approval gates a refund, and the nine password-protected actions are all reservation and floor-plan actions with no money action among them. The history is not an immutable log: "activity log" occurs zero times across 204 articles, and the single "audit" hit is "PrePay audit prior to service", a manual weekly review of a report. Voids, discounts and no-sales have no controls because they do not exist, Resy running no register, and out-of-window refunds leave the product entirely for the Stripe Dashboard. source
digital-account-saved-paymentunknown / grade F, "Diner accounts with stored cards exist on the Resy consumer network; not a restaurant-branded ordering channel."resolve-to-partialResy Pay makes the stored-instrument half concrete and citable: diners pay the check from their phone by QR code and may "use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card saved on their Resy account", split the check, and apply Amex Membership Rewards points. The other two elements of the claim are structurally impossible rather than merely undocumented — with no ordering channel there is no prior order to re-place and no fulfilment address to store — and the account is the consumer Resy network account, with Resy Pay riding the operator's existing POS (Micros RES 3700, Micros Simphony FE, Micros Simphony, NCR Aloha, Toast, Upserve/Breadcrumb). Partial, with those shortfalls named. source
guest-loyalty-accrual-modelsunknown / grade F, "Amex-side card benefits are not a restaurant-configurable accrual model."resolve-to-noConfirmed as an enumerated absence over the full corpus rather than a failure to find. "accrual" and "punch card" occur in none of the 204 articles, and no points-per-dollar, visit-count or spend-tier earn rule is configurable anywhere in the product. The nearest constructs are read-only analytics labels with no balance and nothing to redeem — "New regulars are guests who have completed their third all-time visit to your restaurant", whose documented follow-up is manual, and auto-tagging that identifies VIPs and regulars. The points in the corpus are Amex Membership Rewards spent through Resy Pay, and the Resy Credit is an issuer benefit whose own FAQ excludes merchant instruments; neither is configured or funded by the restaurant. source
payments-gift-cardsno / grade B, bounded to "none of the 57 public help-centre articles contains the string 'gift'".upheldValue and grade untouched; the bound was corrected and the verdict re-tested on a corpus 3.5 times larger, which STRENGTHENS it. Across 204 articles "gift" occurs in two, neither an instrument: a marketing suggestion to "target VIPs to encourage them to purchase gift cards", and the Resy Credit exclusion list, which names "Resy-branded American Express® Gift Cards; and gift cards purchased at restaurants" among the transactions Resy does NOT process — the vendor's own text treating restaurant gift cards as external to the product. source
extensibility-webhooks-pushunknown / grade F, bounded to "All 57 public help-centre articles were text-searched and none contains 'webhook'".upheldUpheld AS UNKNOWN, deliberately not resolved. Re-tested over 204 articles: "webhook" still occurs zero times, so the finding survives the corpus growth and only its bound needed correcting. Resy's enterprise page asserts "With an open API, webhooks, and integrations, Resy serves up your data", a marketing claim naming no event, subscription or payload, and no developer documentation exists either way (developers/developer/docs/partners.resy.com all NXDOMAIN). A vendor asserting a capability it does not document leaves the cell unknown, not absent — and the specific events the claim enumerates are order events Resy does not own, running no register. source
reliability-printer-fallbackno / grade F, placeholder rationale "Migrated from the 2026-08-01 research pass; no source URL was recorded."resolve-to-noVerdict unchanged, but it was vacuous as written and is now grounded — this cell is NOT a free pass for a reservations vendor, because Resy really does print. The ResyOS app pairs to Star Micronics Bluetooth chit printers and can "auto print chits when seated". The decisive evidence is therefore the vendor's own article on an unreachable printer, which enumerates why it drops — "Bluetooth printers may lose connection for any of the following reasons: 1. Paper is low or out. 2. The iPad is too far from the printer. (Maximum of 15 feet away) 3. Bluetooth has been disabled on the iPad. 4. The printer is not set to automatically reconnect to the iPad." — and answers with a manual checklist. No backup printer is nominated, nothing reroutes, no alert is raised, and "backup printer", "failover", "fails over" and "reprint" occur in none of the 204 articles. There is also no second destination to fail over to: one chit printer is paired per iPad and no KDS station exists. source
reliability-offline-order-entryno / grade F, placeholder rationale "Migrated from the 2026-08-01 research pass; no source URL was recorded."resolve-to-noVerdict unchanged, now grounded, and a homonym trap disarmed on the way. "offline" occurs six times in the corpus and every instance is Resy's term for availability that is not bookable online — taking a shift, a table or Global Dining Access inventory "offline" — never a network state, so a naive keyword sweep would have read those hits as evidence of an offline mode. The affirmative and exclusive evidence is that Resy's documented answer to lost connectivity is to restore connectivity: "Try connecting to a different WiFi network or Mobile HotSpot", "Check your internet speed. Perform an internet speed test", "Clear your cache in the app", force-restart the iPad; and browser-side, "Make sure you are connected to the internet. Try a different network and/or hotspot". No degraded, cached or store-and-forward mode is described, and "cached", "outage" and "failover" occur in none of the 204 articles. source
