Verdicts
Eat App Partner API
A diner-side Partner API with idempotent booking, a stated rate limit, per-API status monitoring and a changelog updated on 13 October 2026, plus a read-only MCP server for restaurants. Partnerships are activated restaurant by restaurant, API access is priced through sales, and the docs are a Postman collection without OpenAPI or llms.txt.
SevenRooms
SevenRooms runs reservations, table management and guest CRM for hospitality venues, with a Statuspage history that includes its API and a trust centre listing SOC 2 and PCI DSS. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. The API serves venues and approved partners, and even its documentation needs a provisioned account.
Before you call either
Eat App Partner API
- Send a unique idempotency_token with each new booking so a retry returns the first result
- Use POST /partners/v2/availability/range, not the legacy availability endpoint
- Keep include_tables ranges to 24 hours or less and pass covers with it
- Stay under 60 requests a minute and wait for the next minute after a 429
- Cancel by PATCH with status canceled, after which the reservation can no longer change
SevenRooms
- Don't plan to call SevenRooms from another agent. To book for a diner, use the venue's booking widget with the person, or a booking channel the venue lists
- If you work for a venue or vendor, apply through the SevenRooms partnerships form before planning an integration
