Illinois lawmakers consider banning third-party companies from selling restaurant reservations – NBC5 (Chicago)

“This doesn’t impact Resy, Open Table, Tock, actually those organizations have been in favor of legislations like this across the country,” state Rep. Margaret Croke said. “This really impacts only those third-party vendors who are using bots and sometimes they are using individuals, but they’re actually taking something that is free and reselling them.” She’s been working with the Illinois Restaurant Association, which drafted the ordinance.
