Two complementary roles

Zenchef organizes the booking. Repply handles the conversation that comes before it.

Zenchef

Bookings and guest knowledge.

Zenchef structures the restaurant’s schedule, booking operations and guest memory.

  • Schedule and bookings
  • No-show management
  • Guest history and data

Repply

Service without forms.

Repply turns Zenchef data and features into natural conversations across every channel.

  • Book or modify through conversation
  • Answers enriched by the guest profile
  • Support and reviews after the visit

How the handoff works.

  1. 01 A guest calls or writes to book, make a change or ask a question.
  2. 02 Repply recognizes the guest using available data—visits, preferences, birthday and spending—then answers or acts without a form.
  3. 03 After the visit, Repply handles receipt or lost-property requests and naturally asks for a Google review.
