Restaurant reservation systems are broken. They charge €100+/month, take commissions on every booking, skim percentages from gift card sales, and raise prices every year. Restaurants are bleeding money on software that should help them thrive. Our solution HappyChef — a complete reservation system for €30/month. That's it. ✅ No commissions per reservation ✅ No hidden fees ✅ 3-year price guarantee ✅ 100% of gift card revenue stays yours (+ €2 cashback per sale) ✅ Table plan, waitlists, no-show protection, reminders, mobile app ✅ WhatsApp confirmations available ## What is HappyChef used for?
