24% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Getting a seat at the most popular restaurants is not easy. Resy started as an app that enabled diners to pay reserve in-demand tables on tight timelines.
It became the largest privately held reservation service in the U.S. It’s used by more than 5,000 restaurants in over 600 cities. Its revenue has grown 200% year-over-year.
The company was acquired by American Express in 2019, which co-founder Ben Leventhal said would enable them to scale. This acquisition introduces Resy to AmEx's over 100 million cardholders and restaurant partners.
Whilst OpenTable continues to be the market leader in the dining reservations market, Resy recovered in May 2021 with nearly four times more traffic compared to the company. Consequently, Resy has demonstrated that people are open to using alternative sites to OpenTable.
