Zenchef

About the integration

Zenchef helps restaurants manage reservations, tables and guests from one platform. This integration brings those reservations into Shiftbase, right where you plan your team. Your bookings show up in the Events tab of your schedule, per department, so the person making the schedule sees how busy each shift will be. No more switching between systems or printing the reservation list before writing the roster.

Why you should have this integration

• Reservations in your schedule: Your Zenchef reservations appear automatically in the Events tab of your Shiftbase schedule. Planners see the expected number of guests for each day while they schedule.

• Staff for the guests you expect: A fully booked Saturday needs more people than a quiet Tuesday. With reservations next to your shifts, you match staffing to demand instead of guessing.

• Per department, automatically: Reservations are shown with the right department in Shiftbase, based on the cost centres you use in Zenchef. Each team sees the bookings that matter to them.

How does the integration work?

Here's the lowdown:

• Reservation feed: Zenchef sends your reservations to Shiftbase, where they appear in the Events tab of your schedule.

• Department mapping: Cost centres in Zenchef are linked to departments in Shiftbase, so reservations land with the right team.

• Guided setup: Activate Shiftbase in Zenchef under Settings → Integrations → Partners. Then request the connection in Shiftbase under Settings → App Center → Zenchef. Our support team completes the activation for you. Each restaurant gets its own connection.

This setup means the schedule maker always knows how busy it will get, before deciding who works when.
