Benu is booked solid. Cancellations drop daily.

Corey Lee's three-star SoMa tasting menu left Tock in June 2026 — its Tock page still exists but shows nothing bookable; the SevenRooms daily-drop cadence is unusually alert-friendly for the three-star tier.

Three-star scarcity since 2014.

platform verified Jul 2026 · SevenRooms

Verified from its own page — released at 10:00 AM PT each day, up to 30 days in advance, on SevenRooms.

How tables move here: chronic sold-out plus a steady cancellation flow — the classic drip an instant email alert is built for.

Facts checked July 2026. Windows move and guide sites contradict each other — where sources conflict we say so instead of guessing.

Not checkable yet — one-time notify

Leave your email and we'll email you ONCE when we can watch Benu — no other emails, ever.

Benu books through SevenRooms, which we can't check automatically today. Joining creates no agent and starts no emails — the list just tells us which coverage to build next, and you hear about it exactly once, when it's real.

Where this stands

Why no live numbers here

Benu books through SevenRooms, which we can't check automatically yet. The waitlist above is how we rank which platform to build next.

The rule this whole site runs on: a page either shows a real, timestamped check or it shows nothing. No fabricated availability, no stale counts.

Straight answers

Questions

How fast are alerts?

Calafia checks every few minutes, around the clock, and emails you the moment a table opens for your night — prime-time openings are usually re-booked within minutes, so speed is the whole product.

Does it book for me?

No — we alert; the booking stays yours. You get the link instantly and book in your own name on the restaurant's own booking page. That keeps your account safe and keeps us on the right side of platform rules: Calafia never books, holds, brokers, or resells a reservation.

What does it cost?

Watching one thing is free. More Scouts and faster checks are on the paid plan. The table itself costs you nothing extra — ever.
