Resy Network, Inc.

Though many restaurants still record table reservations with pencil and notebook, a growing number have instituted online reservation systems that provide greater flexibility, better capacity control, and a trove of useful business statistics. Resy, co-founded in 2014 by Ben Leventhal, co-founder of Eater and restaurant industry entrepreneur, Gary Vaynerchuk, entrepreneur, investor and author; and Michael Montero, founder of CrowdTwist and Fotolog, became a leading hospitality technology company by creating a table management, CRM and booking technology suite for restaurants that it paired with a consumer-facing restaurant reservation app and Website. Resy’s own statistics are impressive: 4,000 participating restaurants in 154 U.S. cities and 10 countries, over 2.6 million diners seated every week, and an industry-low, global no-show rate of two percent. To house Resy’s New York employees in a one-floor, 5,000-square-foot technology office, housed in a 1900 Beaux Arts building in the SoHo neighborhood, BR Design produced an airy, open-plan environment as inviting as a contemporary café. While the space includes a number of private offices enclosed in glass and steel storefronts, the heart of the design features bench-style workstations, custom-designed millwork bleachers and meeting spaces of different sizes and furnishings that all seemed to say: Your table is waiting.
