It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.
The Happy Crane runs in the Mission as a modern Chinese dining room with a wood-fire program and a menu that pulls from regional Chinese cooking. The room currently sits at #14 in SF's secondary-market rankings with five 90-day trades.
OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. Weekend prime tables clear first; weeknights and the late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu when a seat opens.

The Happy Crane San Francisco releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.
