Companies Using Zenchef
Zenchef is a Paris-based restaurant booking system, and our October 2026 crawl finds its booking widget on 4,295 live domains. Most belong to restaurants in the Netherlands, France and Belgium: of the 3,282 we matched to a company, 1,365 are Dutch, 769 French and 625 Belgian. The Dutch lead comes from a merger. Zenchef merged with the Dutch booking tool Formitable in early 2023, and 379 of the 4,342 domains we rechecked still load Formitable's widget code. Below is the list of companies that use Zenchef, with size, country, industry and stack. It includes Maisons Bocuse in Lyon, the Oostwegel Collection hotels in Maastricht and Bunk in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
Zenchef ranks 6th of the 100 tools in our Booking & Reservations category with a 5.83% share, 146 domains ahead of OpenTable. Two of the four rivals in its table aren't independent: Formitable is now part of Zenchef, and CoverManager joined it under one holding company in July 2025. The customers are small. 65.54% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees, and none has more than 500.

Zenchef Usage Statistics
Zenchef reads 3,295 domains in June 2026, 3,699 in July, 3,861 in August, 4,209 in September and 4,295 in October. Most of that climb comes from our side. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and newly found ones added, and the signals we detect Zenchef with widened over the summer.

Which Countries Use Zenchef the Most?
Which countries use Zenchef the most? The Netherlands, with 1,365 matched companies, then France (769), Belgium (625), Germany (217) and Switzerland (76). The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg together hold 2,010 of the 3,282 companies we matched, 61.24%. That is the merger map. Zenchef started in France, Formitable was Dutch, and the Belgian booking tools Resengo and Tablebooker joined later. 263 of the 1,544 .nl domains in our recheck still load Formitable code. Further afield the counts are tiny: 13 companies in the United States and 8 in the United Kingdom.
Share of the 3,282 Zenchef domains we matched to a company record — 76.4% of the 4,295 we detect. Top 15 countries shown, so these do not sum to 100%. Domains with no matching company record are not represented here and skew small and independent.
Zenchef Market Share Among Booking & Reservations
What is Zenchef's market share? 5.83% of Booking & Reservations, 6th of the 100 tools we track there, based on our live crawl at TechnologyChecker.io. The five above it are Uber, the online-ordering widgets FoodBooking and GloriaFood, the holiday-rental platform Lodgify and DISH; the hotel system Cloudbeds is just below, at 4,258. Among table-booking widgets the nearest is OpenTable, 146 domains behind at 4,149. The table counts brands, not owners, so Zenchef's group shows up several times: Formitable has 909 domains, CoverManager 751, TableBooker 201 and Resengo 47.
Top Competitors by Market Share
Zenchef Customers by Company Size & Age
What size companies use Zenchef? Small ones. 65.54% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 29.35% have 11 to 50, so 94.89% have 50 staff or fewer, based on our enriched company data. Only 14 have 201 to 500 employees and none is larger. The biggest names are restaurant and hotel groups, such as Maisons Bocuse, the Oostwegel Collection and IMLAUER, each in the 201 to 500 band.
Company Size Distribution
Company Age (Founded Decade)
The largest group of matched companies was founded in the 2010s (42.34%), and 31.8% date from the 2020s, so 74.14% opened in 2010 or later. ResDiary's customers are older by comparison: 14.22% of them were founded in the 2020s. A few old houses run Zenchef too, such as Parc Broekhuizen (1792) and Chalet des Îles in Paris (1852).
What Industries Use Zenchef the Most?
Restaurants make up 69.81% of matched companies and Hospitality, LinkedIn's label for most hotels, 19.12%, based on our enriched company data. Food and beverage services add 2.4% and events services 1.06%. Nothing else reaches 1%. A Zenchef list is a list of places that take table bookings, and little else.
Restaurant groups using Zenchef include Maisons Bocuse, with restaurants in Lyon, Annecy and Vichy, and GEORGE, a group of Amsterdam restaurants. Hotels using Zenchef book their restaurants through it, such as Van der Valk Hotel Lelystad, Pullman Cannes Mandelieu and the Oostwegel Collection's hotels in South Limburg. Some venues on Zenchef aren't restaurants first: the Louis Hartlooper Complex is a cinema in Utrecht, and Vertical Art in Toulon is a climbing gym with a restaurant.
Zenchef Alternatives & Competitors
Two of the four tools in Zenchef's competitor table belong to its own group. Formitable (909 domains) merged with Zenchef in early 2023, and its site now says "Formitable is now Zenchef"; 395 domains run both today. CoverManager (751) joined Zenchef under a new holding company in July 2025 and keeps its own brand in Spain, Italy and Latin America; only one domain runs both. The independent rivals are OpenTable (4,149), whose customers lean American, and ResDiary (1,034), whose customers lean British. Outside the table, 28 domains run Zenchef beside Mews, the hotel system, which fits hotels that book rooms and tables separately.

Tech Stack of Zenchef-Powered Websites
Across the 4,343 clean live Zenchef domains, WordPress runs on 55.98% and Elementor on 21.69%, with Wix (5.53%) and Squarespace (4.33%) far behind.

Payment tags barely register (PayPal 0.64%). Deposits and prepayments run through Zenchef's own booking page, and its plans list card fees of 2% to 6%.

Expert Analysis: Zenchef Growth Trends & Key Signals for Sales Teams in 2026

I expected Zenchef to look like a French OpenTable. It's more Dutch than French, and that tells you most of what you need about this list. A domain counts here when its pages load a script from zenchef.com, usually the widget SDK at sdk.zenchef.com or the booking page at bookings.zenchef.com. The test holds up. In a random sample of 50 live domains, 46 carried a Zenchef restaurant ID that opened a named venue's booking page, one more ran Formitable's widget, one loaded the SDK without an ID we could read, one was behind a bot wall, and one had the snippet commented out. That gives 4,295 live domains in our October 2026 crawl, 3,282 of them matched to a company, 6th of 100 in Booking & Reservations.
One company, several brands
Zenchef's own pages tell the merger story. It merged with Formitable in early 2023, welcomed Resengo later that year and added Tablebooker in February 2024, and Zenchef, Formitable and Resengo took the Zenchef name in 2024. In July 2025, PSG announced that Zenchef and CoverManager would sit under one holding company. The code on restaurant sites still shows the seams. Of the 4,342 domains in our recheck, 379 load Formitable's widget code, 87 Tablebooker's and 57 Resengo's, 523 in all. On the pages we tested, Formitable's widget now opens Zenchef's booking page, so those sites are Zenchef customers on an older embed.
Sales signal: treat Zenchef, Formitable, Resengo and Tablebooker as one account base. A restaurant still on Formitable's embed has the same vendor as one on Zenchef's.
Growth trajectory
The chart reads 3,295 in June 2026 and 4,295 in October. I wouldn't sell that as 30% growth. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and newly found ones added, and the signals we detect Zenchef with widened over the summer. Churn is real but modest: since 16 March 2026, 555 domains dropped Zenchef from at least one hostname, and in our recheck 96 of them still ran it on another hostname.
"Zenchef's biggest market in our data is the Netherlands, not France. That's what a merger looks like from the outside: the Dutch restaurants came with Formitable, and plenty of them still run its old embed." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io
Sales signal: size this market at about 4,300 domains, with 555 hostname drops in seven months. Don't build a forecast on the June to October line.
Who the customers are
65.54% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 29.35% have 11 to 50. Only 14 reach 201 to 500 staff, and none is bigger. They are young as well: 74.14% were founded in 2010 or later, against a ResDiary base where only 14.22% date from the 2020s. 69.81% are restaurants and 19.12% hospitality. The named accounts at the top are groups and hotels: Maisons Bocuse, the Oostwegel Collection, IMLAUER, GEORGE in Amsterdam, Bunk, Pullman Cannes Mandelieu and Van der Valk Hotel Lelystad. Groups are small in domain terms. The largest clusters we found, a hotel in Genk and a wok restaurant in The Hague, have five domains each.
Sales signal: this is an owner-operator market. The buyer is the chef-owner or general manager, deals are small, and a pitch about saving staff time on the phone will land better than an enterprise platform story.
A Benelux map
The Netherlands has 1,365 matched companies, France 769 and Belgium 625. With Luxembourg's 20, the Benelux holds 61.24% of the 3,282. Germany (217), Switzerland (76) and Austria (32) are a real second ring. The United States has 13 and the United Kingdom 8, so Zenchef barely touches the English-speaking markets where OpenTable and ResDiary live. Domain endings tell the same story: 1,544 .nl, 798 .be and 633 .fr in our recheck.
Sales signal: for anyone selling to restaurants in the Netherlands or Belgium, Zenchef sites are a clean prospect list of venues that already take bookings online and own their guest data. For Zenchef's rivals, Germany and Switzerland are where it is thinnest.
Migration and overlap
No switching row on this page passed our tests, and I'm glad the Formitable one didn't. 692 domains have run Zenchef and Formitable together at some point, and 395 still do. Those sites are one company moving its own customers from one embed to another. The other overlaps are small: 28 domains run Zenchef beside Mews, the hotel system, 14 beside GloriaFood's ordering widget, and one beside CoverManager.
"When two rivals share 395 sites, I'd normally look for a migration. Here the two rivals are the same company." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io
Sales signal: a Formitable embed is a soft spot, not a churn signal. Those restaurants will be asked to move to Zenchef's current widget, and the move is a moment when an owner looks at alternatives.
The stack around it
WordPress runs on 55.98% of the 4,343 clean domains and Elementor on 21.69%. Wix (5.53%) and Squarespace (4.33%) trail. Google Analytics is on 47.94%, well under ResDiary's 64.07%, and payment tags are rare (PayPal 0.64%); guests pay deposits inside Zenchef's booking page rather than on the restaurant's site. Consent banners are common: Complianz 7.16%, CookieYes 4.19%, Cookiebot 3.18% and Axeptio 1.06%.
Sales signal: about half these sites carry no Google Analytics tag. Agencies that build restaurant websites on WordPress, and tracking or review tools, have room here.
What it costs
Zenchef's pricing page (checked 26 October 2026) lists three plans, Reserve, Manage and Grow, with "€0 commission per cover" on all of them. The French page prices them at €129, €169 and €249 a month; the English page asks you to book a demo. Card payment fees step down by plan, from 6% to 4% to 2%. Add-ons include a booking website, a marketing suite, multi-venue management and an AI phone concierge.
Sales signal: Zenchef sells against marketplace commissions. A rival has to match zero commission or show more covers.
Key takeaways
1. 4,295 live domains, 6th of 100 in Booking & Reservations, 146 ahead of OpenTable.
2. Formitable, Resengo, Tablebooker and CoverManager are part of the same group; 523 Zenchef domains still load an older brand's code.
3. A Benelux business: 61.24% of matched companies are Dutch, Belgian or from Luxembourg.
4. Small, young venues: 65.54% have 10 or fewer staff and 74.14% opened in 2010 or later.
5. No large fleets: the biggest groups we found have five domains.

How many customers does Zenchef have?
Zenchef's about page claims 36,000+ restaurants across 20+ countries, a figure for the whole group, CoverManager included. Our October 2026 crawl finds a Zenchef booking widget on 4,295 live domains, 3,282 of them matched to a company. Expect a gap: a restaurant can take Zenchef bookings through Reserve with Google or the Zenchef app without a widget on its own site.
What is Zenchef's market share?
5.83% of Booking & Reservations, 6th of the 100 tools we track there, on 4,295 live domains in October 2026. OpenTable is the next table-booking widget, with 4,149 domains, 146 fewer. Zenchef's group appears more than once in that table, because Formitable (909 domains), CoverManager (751), TableBooker (201) and Resengo (47) are counted as separate brands.
What are the best alternatives to Zenchef?
OpenTable is the closest in size, with 4,149 domains, and its customers lean American. ResDiary (1,034 domains) leans British and, like Zenchef, charges no booking commission. Guestplan, with 2,123 domains in our category table, publishes its own Guestplan vs Zenchef comparison. Formitable and CoverManager look like rivals in our table, but both now belong to Zenchef's group.
Which countries use Zenchef the most?
The Netherlands, with 1,365 matched companies, then France (769), Belgium (625), Germany (217) and Switzerland (76). The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg hold 61.24% of the 3,282 companies we matched. That map follows Zenchef's mergers: it began in France, merged with the Dutch Formitable in 2023 and took in the Belgian tools Resengo and Tablebooker. Elsewhere the counts are small.

Young, mostly. Among matched companies with a known founding year, 42.34% were founded in the 2010s and 31.8% in the 2020s, so 74.14% opened in 2010 or later. ResDiary's customers are older, with 14.22% from the 2020s. A few old houses run Zenchef as well, such as Parc Broekhuizen (1792) and Chalet des Îles in Paris (1852).
