CoverManager and Zenchef Join Forces to Create the Leader in Reservations Management for Europe and LATAM

We are excited to share a strategic step that strengthens our ability to help you grow. Zenchef and CoverManager have formed an alliance with a clear objective: to build the leading technology ecosystem for restaurants in Europe and Latin America, while at this stage maintaining our identities and products separately.

An alliance that brings two complementary leaders together:

• CoverManager, the leader in Southern Europe and Latin America, specialising in customer experience, loyalty and demand optimisation.
• Zenchef, the benchmark in Northern Europe, with extensive expertise in online visibility, reservations and customer relationship management.

Together, we want to create the most advanced and independent alternative to the major global platforms, focusing on empowering restaurants and preserving their direct relationships with customers.

A shared mission: giving control back to restaurants

CoverManager and Zenchef share the same DNA:

Enabling restaurants to grow independently, without commissions, without intermediaries and with full control over their brand, customer data and online journey.
We believe technology should serve the hospitality industry, not replace it. That is why we have built platforms that give restaurants back control over:

• Their reservations
• Their customer relationships
• The management of their revenue
• Their long-term success

And now, we are joining forces to go even further.

Beyond reservations: the future of restaurant revenue management

This alliance marks a clear change of direction: we are moving from being reservations tools to becoming a comprehensive revenue management platform, powered by artificial intelligence.

Thanks to this union, we will be able to:

• Accelerate product innovation across all markets.
• Develop intelligent, data-driven features to improve profitability.
• Support the restaurant throughout the entire customer journey, from the first booking to long-term loyalty.
• Offer commission-free solutions focused on operational efficiency.

The result? A restaurant-centric ecosystem designed to grow with you, not to take a cut of your revenue.

The most discerning restaurants already trust us.

Our group is already used by more than 36,000 restaurants across more than 20 countries, including:

• More than 800 starred and fine-dining restaurants.
• Iconic venues in Paris, Madrid, Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Vienna and throughout Latin America.

We are the largest fine-dining restaurant network in Europe and the platform of choice for those who value independence, excellence and service.

What happens next?

Zenchef and CoverManager will continue to operate under their own brands.

We maintain our local offices in Paris, Seville, Amsterdam, Brussels and Berlin to ensure a smooth transition for our partners and clients.

Our teams will continue doing what they do best: building technology that puts the restaurant at the centre — now with greater reach, speed and ambition.

As Thomas puts it:

"This is a key milestone in our mission to offer restaurateurs independent, best-in-class tools. Together, we are creating the most robust ecosystem on the market."

And in José Antonio's words:

"Joining forces with Zenchef allows us to continue building the standard in technology for hospitality, to elevate our impact and to accelerate our shared vision. This alliance will enable us to offer even greater value to restaurants, giving them more control over their business in an increasingly competitive market — helping them deliver memorable experiences to their customers and keep them coming back."

Let's build the future of hospitality together 💛
