As the new European market leader, Zenchef eliminates all reservation commissions
The strategic partnership with Tablebooker adds 3,000 restaurants to Zenchef’s European portfolio, establishing a solid market leadership position with a total of 6,000 restaurants in Belgium, including renowned establishments such as Divin by Sepi, Neon and Hofke Van Bazel. Zenchef supports a large and diverse community of restaurants, from bistro to starred establishments and from Belgian shrimp croquettes to Japanese Izakaya concepts. This acquisition reinforces Zenchef’s mission to strengthen the relationship between restaurants and guests while promoting a more sustainable restaurant industry by eliminating reservation commissions.
Largest Commission-Free Guest Reservations Platform in Europe
With the addition of Tablebooker, Zenchef becomes the largest commission-free guest reservation platform in Europe, serving an impressive network of 19,000 restaurants across Europe, with more than 6.2 million reservations per month.
Xavier Zeitoun, CEO says; “We are excited that Tablebooker is joining us to strengthen our mission to bring restaurants and guests closer together. Tablebooker, as a major player in Belgium, will help us continue our European expansion while maintaining a strong local presence. We are very pleased to welcome the Tablebooker team to the Group!”
Reservation Platform | Guest Experience
Tablebooker’s rich history as a market leader in Belgium, founded in 2012 and acquired by RestoGroup in 2015, integrates seamlessly with Zenchef’s values. With valuable local industry knowledge and deep expertise in reservation platforms, Zenchef will better enable restaurants to provide unforgettable dining experiences for their guests. Zenchef welcomes Tablebooker’s team, with Paul Slootmans, CEO of Tablebooker, joining as Vice President of Revenue for Belgium and Luxembourg. This addition of talent and expertise positions Zenchef for continued growth and unparalleled support for its growing client base.
Paul Slootmans, future Vice President of Revenue for Belgium adds; “Tablebooker’s history of leadership in Belgium allows us to accelerate Zenchef’s European expansion while sharing the same values and mission. We are very excited to be part of this exciting adventure.”
In 2023, Zenchef, Formitable and Resengo already have successfully merged to create a European leader in restaurant technology. The combination of the French, Dutch and Belgian restaurant platform leaders led to a revamped Zenchef. The group now serves more than 19,000 customers across Europe and is dedicated to build a more resilient restaurant industry. The commission-free platform promotes a thriving culture of dining out by bringing restaurants and guests closer together through cutting-edge technology.
