Comparison

Ragently or Zenchef: which fits your place?

Both let guests reserve online. The difference is who answers the phone, how you pay and who your guests belong to.

The difference in one sentence

We answer the phone too

A reservation system catches the guests who book online. The phone keeps ringing. That is where Ragently starts.

The phone is the biggest leak

During service the phone rings and nobody can answer. That guest books elsewhere. Our receptionist answers and books.

One price, no surprises

No commission per guest, no cost per reservation. You know at the start of the month what you pay.

Your guests, your data

We are not a marketplace. Guests book with you, on your site or through your number, and remain yours.

Frequently asked questions when switching from Zenchef

Can I use Ragently alongside Zenchef?

Yes. Many places start with the AI receptionist only and keep their current system for the widget. The receptionist then books in Ragently's calendar; your team sees it in the app. Switching fully can always come later.

How do I bring my existing reservations?

Future reservations you enter in Ragently via the overview or the app; for larger volumes we help with an import from an export of your current system. Ask in the demo.

What does switching cost?

Nothing extra. There are no setup fees and no annual contract; you pay the monthly price from the day you go live and can cancel monthly.
