    As hard as it can be to get tables at some places, I’m surprised there isn’t a sort of black market app for selling / trading reservations.

      It’s helpful that most fancy restaurants are locally owned. Even if there was an attempt at a reservation black market the owner is heavily incentivised to shut it down and because he probably works at the business he owns he can be on top of it.

      Doesn’t work for ticket scalpers because stadiums don’t care who buys their tickets.
