"We're putting an end to the predatory black market for restaurant reservations, protecting consumers and businesses, and giving everyone a chance to get a seat at the dinner table," Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
State Senator Nathalia Fernandez said, "This law targets unauthorized resellers who cause chaos for restaurants with last-minute cancellations and no-shows, leaving tables empty and hardworking staff without tips."
As one of the biggest foodie cities in the world, NYC takes pride in its culinary offerings, but getting a table at a buzzy locale isn't always possible.
Unauthorized reservation systems complicate the dining experience, leaving businesses without payment upon cancellations and unfairly charging customers, disrupting the organization system of restaurants.
