Integrations & switching: HappyChef vs Zenchef
Where both platforms plug into the same ecosystem, where Zenchef's network is wider — and what switching actually involves.
Integrations decide how much manual work disappears. Here both platforms overlap more than you might expect: Gault&Millau and Yeat are connected on both sides. The difference is breadth: Zenchef lists a large partner network including POS and PMS systems; HappyChef keeps a smaller, Belgium-focused set.

What switching involves
Honest on both sides: switching reservation systems is mostly about data and habits, not technology. HappyChef publishes its switching promise: migration is done for you, most restaurants are operational within an hour, you can cancel monthly, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee — so the risk of trying is small. Whichever direction you switch, check three things first: that your guest database exports cleanly, that your no-show protection (deposits, card guarantees) carries over, and that your website widget is swapped on the same day.
