The availability observatory

Page published on 19 September 2026. The totals date from that publication; the watching itself does not wait for a deployment to run.

Over 28 observed days, we recorded 49 slot openings — that many times a slot that had been full became bookable again, or 1.75 a day on average across the slots we were following.

Median: 2h 10 between the moment we see the seat appear and the moment the slot is full again. 28.6 % of the seats observed disappeared in under an hour.

Measured on 49 openings we saw close again.

Index not published: observation is too short.

The index measures the share of time during which the slots followed are full. The calculation is simple and verifiable, since it needs only two numbers, but it means something only over a long period: a week of school holidays would give 100, a quiet week far less. Where the collection stands:

What we look at

The public availability published by the restaurant, exactly what any visitor to its site sees. GetTable has no privileged access, no booking data, and is neither a partner of the restaurant nor known to it.

How often

From two to three minutes for the nearest slots, up to about an hour for the most distant, between two checks of the same slot. A seat that appears and disappears between two checks cannot be seen: our durations are therefore measured to that precision, never to the second.

Period covered

From 20 August 2026 to 18 September 2026, that is 28 summarised days.

The limit you need to know

We observe only the slots customers have asked us to watch, not the restaurant’s whole calendar. That sample therefore leans towards the dates people want, often the most contested. It describes what someone looking for a table experiences, not the restaurant’s occupancy rate.

Privacy

Only totals are published, never an individual slot: a precise date together with a party size would let a customer recognise themselves. The readings contain no number, no email, no order reference.

Reuse

These readings are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0). You may quote, reuse and republish them, including commercially, provided you credit GetTable and state the date of publication.

It does not show the slots free right now, and that is deliberate. A seat that reappears can be taken within minutes: publishing a list frozen at the last deployment would send everyone towards tables already gone. The only serious use of an availability is being told about it while it exists.

Nor does it promise anything. We describe what we observed over a given period; neither the restaurant nor we can guarantee a table will free up for your date.
