How to book Bad Idea
Bad Idea takes reservations on OpenTable, and the most-wanted times go the second they're released — a slow refresh or a full booking page is the usual result. SeatSwiper connects to your own OpenTable account and does the waiting for you: name the night and party size, and it races the release the instant a table opens (or a cancellation appears) and books it in your name.
Every reservation lands on your own account, exactly as if you'd booked it yourself — nothing is bought, transferred, or resold. Your first successful booking is free; after that it's a flat $5, charged only when you're actually seated.
