Long overdue. Simply ID patrons upon checking in.

Would love for this to actually work. Can finally grab a spot at 4 Charles lol.
Some questions: Will appointment trader finally be shut down then? Do we actually think they’ll enforce this or it will be enforceable if signed by the governor?
Fingers crossed this makes our lives easier!

The article doesn’t specify how the state is going to enforce this bill.

Whats the enforcement strategy though? Is it just gonna be like Airbnb where people sell reservations under the cover of another state with fake names that everyone “in the know” can figure out?

*Resy CEO Pablo Rivero called the bill: “a significant step forward to protect restaurants and diners from reservation fraud.”*
translation: “we didn’t care enough to do it ourselves since we got paid either way and it would have just been extra work for us.”

Unfortunately the pandora box has open , they will just figure a workaround , they were making too much money selling reservation

But I guess I can still use my bot for my personal reservations (which is actually all I use it for today, never sold any reservations)

Will anything change? Can we finally get reservations or will bots still manage to scoop em all up?

I know someone very close to me who works for let’s just say, one of these extremely difficult to get into restaurant groups – someone solicited to pay them $300 per reservation they could confirm for for their reservation resell website.
Bots or not, you will never be able to compete with people making reservations for these websites within the restaurants themselves.
