Introducing Drop Reminder: Never Miss a Monthly Reservation Release

Key takeaways

  1. 1.Drop Reminder watches monthly release calendars and texts you when reservations open — no more alarms, no more missed drops.

  3. 3.First-of-the-month drops are coming up. Set up your reminder now by texting Quenelle or emailing [email protected].

The hardest part of booking a place like The French Laundry or Atomix isn't finding the link — it's knowing exactly when reservations open and being ready at that moment. Miss the window and you're waiting another month.

Drop Reminder solves that. It watches release calendars and texts you before the drop so you're not relying on a phone alarm you set six weeks ago.

How Drop Reminder Works

Tell Quenelle which restaurant you want a reminder for. Before the next release window opens, you get a text. That's it.

No more calendar entries. No more waking up to find the month already sold out. Just a reminder at the right time, based on reliable data about when each restaurant actually releases.

Supported Restaurants

Drop Reminder currently covers restaurants that release on monthly schedules:

  • The French Laundry (Yountville, CA)
  • Atomix (New York, NY)
  • Blue Hill at Stone Barns (Tarrytown, NY)
  • Eleven Madison Park (New York, NY)
  • Alinea (Chicago, IL)
  • Noma (Copenhagen)

First-of-the-month drops are coming up. If any of these are on your list, now is the time to set up a reminder.

How to Set It Up

Text Quenelle the restaurant you want. Something like: "Set up a drop reminder for Atomix." You'll be confirmed and reminded before the next release window.

If a restaurant you want isn't supported yet, text us or email [email protected]. This is early access — we're adding restaurants based on what subscribers are actually trying to book.
