This strategic alliance brings together two complementary leaders:
- Zenchef, established across Northern Europe, with deep expertise in digital visibility, reservations, and guest relationship management.
- CoverManager, a dominant player in Southern Europe and LATAM, specializes in guest experience, loyalty, and demand optimization.
Together, we form the only truly independent, European alternative to global US-based platforms backed by local expertise and trusted by some of the most iconic restaurants in the world.
A shared mission: giving restaurants back control
Zenchef and CoverManager have always shared the same DNA:
Empowering restaurants to grow independently, with no commissions, no intermediaries, and full control over brand, guest data and the digital journey.
We believe technology should serve hospitality not replace it. That’s why we’ve both built platforms that put restaurants back in charge of:
- Their bookings
- Their customer relationships
- Their revenue management
- Their long-term success
And now, we’re combining our strengths to go even further.
Moving beyond reservations: The future of restaurant revenue management
This alliance marks a clear shift: from reservation tools to a full-fledged, AI-powered revenue management platform.
Our joint investments will allow us to:
- Accelerate product innovation across all markets
- Build smarter, data-driven features that increase profitability
- Support restaurants across the entire guest journey from discovery to loyalty
- Offer commission-free tools, rooted in operational efficiency
The result? A restaurant-centric ecosystem designed to grow with you, not take a cut from you.
Starred restaurants trust us. So do thousands of others.
Our combined group is already used by +36.000 ****restaurants across more than 20 countries, including:
- Over 800 Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants
- Iconic venues across Paris, Madrid, Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Vienna, and Latin America
This makes us the largest inventory of high-end restaurants across Europe and the go-to platform for restaurants that value independence, excellence, and service.
What’s Next?
Zenchef and CoverManager will continue to operate under their respective brands.
We’re maintaining our local presence in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin and Seville to ensure seamless continuity for partners and clients.
Governance moving forward:
- Thomas Jeanjean, CEO of Zenchef, becomes CEO of the combined group
- José-Antonio Pérez, Founder & CEO of CoverManager, joins the Board of Directors of the new group.
Our teams will keep doing what they do best — building tech that puts restaurants first but with greater reach, speed, and ambition.
As Thomas puts it:
“This is a major milestone in our mission to serve restaurateurs with independent, best-in-class tools. Together, we’re creating the most robust ecosystem in the market.”
And in José-Antonio’s words:
“By joining forces with Zenchef, we’re building the gold standard for hospitality tech in the 21st century — one that gives restaurants control, flexibility and growth.”
Let’s build the future of hospitality, together.
