Our take
In order to help restaurants digitise, Zenchef, recently merged with Formitable, supplies a platform for online reservations that creates better customer experiences, delivers smart table management, presents data including detailed guest histories, and more.
Zenchef was introduced in 2017, and founded by the people who developed Pocketmenu, the world's first mobile website builder. Its easy-to-use software combats pain-points of restaurant booking - such as expensive no-shows - with a set-up specifically designed for the space, making it a keen choice for restaurateurs.
The merger of Zenchef and Amsterdam-based competitor Formitable will expand business reach to 11,000 restaurants across 30 countries in Europe, with the combination cited to help both companies expand to further drive the digital transformation within the restaurant industry.
