HappyChef overview

What is HappyChef?

HappyChef is an online restaurant reservation system designed for hospitality businesses that require a digital booking solution. The platform provides restaurant owners with reservation management tools and supports transparent operations. A portion of the platform’s proceeds supports Alzheimer research.

The system features a set of functionalities including customizable table planning, waiting list management, and no-show payment processing. Restaurant owners can configure automated reminder emails to reduce missed reservations and enhance operational efficiency. The gift card management feature enables establishments to retain full control over gift card revenue without transaction fees.

The platform integrates with restaurant websites through a customizable widget enabling direct online bookings. The system is accessible via desktop and mobile applications, allowing staff to manage reservations from multiple devices. The onboarding process includes a fifteen minute demonstration followed by a trial period that does not require credit card information. This approach enables restaurant owners to evaluate the reservation, gift card, and widget functions before committing to the service.
