Most people think restaurant reservations are about demand. They’re
not. Today, Sammi breaks down the quiet power struggle happening
behind your hardest-to-get dinner reservations — and why credit
card companies, not restaurants, increasingly call the shots. From
OpenTable’s early dominance to Resy’s cultural takeover and
American Express acquisition, Sammi explains how reservations
became a tool for loyalty, data, and consumer control. Once you see
how the reservation system really works, you’ll never look at
“fully booked” the same way again. Follow Sammi on Instagram
