This month at Zenchef, we're expanding our POS ecosystem with two new integrations, making reservation tagging fully automatic, and giving restaurants precise control over gift card redemption at shift level. Here's what’s new.

Need help with your ZenchefOS platform?

Zenchef x PI Electronique: One View Across the Front of House

PI Electronique is a point-of-sale solution built specifically for restaurants, and it's now integrated with Zenchef. Reservations and guest profiles live in one place, so your team can focus on what they do best: making every guest feel welcome.

With Zenchef and PI Electronique connected, you can:

  • See reservations and guest profiles in one system.
  • Reduce duplicate data entry between platforms.
  • Keep your team's eyes on the room, not on a second screen.

One connected operation. A warmer welcome for everyone who walks in.

Zenchef x Apro: Meet the DACH Region's Most-Used Hospitality POS

Apro runs the floor for over 6,000 restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés and groups across the DACH region and South Tyrol. It is now fully connected to Zenchef.

With the Apro integration, you can:

  • Sync guest info and booking data between both platforms, automatically.
  • Give your team the full picture of every reservation, without system-hopping.
  • Run multi-site operations on data that stays consistent across every venue.

Less time on admin. More time on the kind of hospitality that brings guests back for seconds.

Tag Assistant: Reads Between The Lines, Automatically

A nut allergy buried in a booking comment. An anniversary mentioned in passing. A birthday your guest really hopes you won't forget. We take it one step further by adding those tags automatically.

Tag Assistant reads every incoming booking comment and applies the right Allergy and Event Type tags the moment a reservation lands.

Here's how it works:

  • Auto-assigned tags have a distinct appearance, so your team always knows what was added automatically and what was added manually.
  • Every automatic tag is logged in the reservation history tab with full traceability.
  • Enabled by default on web and mobile, and fully adjustable in Settings whenever you like.

The right detail arrives at the right station, before service starts.

Gift Cards: Your Schedule, Your Rules

A full house on a Saturday is the best kind of problem. Gift card redemptions stacking up with no way to steer the flow? That's a problem worth solving.

Now you can turn gift card acceptance on or off by shift, or set a cap on how many you'll take per service.

  • Turn gift card acceptance on or off for specific shifts.
  • Set a limit on the number of gift cards redeemable per service.
  • Let the booking widget do the talking: guests are told upfront when gift cards aren't available for a shift, and can still book without one.

Your existing gift card program, payouts, and setup stay exactly as they are. It's free for every restaurant. Set it up in ZenchefOS > Service Settings > Gift Cards.

Smart Details Make All The Difference

Great service doesn't start when a guest walks in. It starts long before, in the details no one notices because everything feels effortless. The right POS connection means your team already knows who's coming. Tag Assistant means the kitchen already knows what guests need. And shift-level gift card control means the floor runs exactly the way you planned it. These updates connect your data, your team, and your guests.

Meanwhile, our next course is already in the kitchen.
