About Resy
Resy built a restaurant reservation platform that challenged OpenTable's dominance by focusing on design, user experience, and cultivating relationships with trendy, high-end restaurants. The platform provided both consumer-facing reservation booking and restaurant management tools including table management, guest management, and waitlist features. Resy differentiated itself by partnering with exclusive restaurants and offering features like reservation notifications for hard-to-book establishments.
Resy was acquired by American Express in 2019 for approximately $70 million and has since been integrated into Amex's broader dining and lifestyle ecosystem. The acquisition allowed American Express to offer enhanced dining benefits to cardholders while providing Resy with resources to expand its restaurant network and develop new features. Under Amex ownership, Resy has maintained its focus on premium dining experiences while expanding its integration with American Express services and rewards programs.
IPO Status
Resy was acquired by American Express in May 2019 for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was part of American Express's strategy to enhance its dining and lifestyle benefits for cardholders, particularly in the premium segment where Resy had strong market presence. Prior to the acquisition, Resy had raised venture capital funding but never went public as an independent company. Since joining American Express, Resy has been integrated into the company's card member benefits and continues to operate its reservation platform. The company is now part of American Express's broader ecosystem of travel and lifestyle services, and there are no indications it will spin off or go public separately.
