Demonstration data from a fictional Berlin restaurant.

Rota and clock-in, supplier invoices, card payments and reservations, in one system. ZEST reads them together and tells you what matters before service: who is running into overtime, which ingredient just got more expensive, which evening will be full. Fewer spreadsheets, fewer surprises, more time on the floor.

What ZEST brings together.

Four sources that today sit in four different programs. Open a picture to see what ZEST does with each one.

ZEST pulls sales, covers and dayparts straight from your register, plus online orders and delivery. Every day is compared with your own average, never an industry figure.

  • Sales per hour and day
  • Online orders and delivery
  • Labor as a share of sales
  • Compared with your own weeks

The assistant

Ask ZEST. It looks it up and answers with numbers.

ZEST opens your register, rota and invoices, does the maths and answers in a sentence, with the figures behind it and one suggestion. It never changes anything on its own.

Questions before the demo.

What restaurant owners ask us most. Missing yours? Write to us.

zestberlin@gmail.com
What does ZEST cost?

We are taking on the first restaurants as pilots now. We agree the price for your restaurant in the demo, depending on its size and the modules you use.

How long does it take to set up?

We set ZEST up with you: team and roles, your register, your suppliers. Rotas from the tool you use today can be imported.

Does ZEST work with my register?

Lightspeed, SumUp, orderbird and Flatpay, plus your online orders and Wolt for delivery. Using another system? Tell us in the demo.

Do I need new hardware?

No. ZEST runs in the browser on your computer and phone. Your team clocks in with the team app on their own phone, with nothing to install from a store.

Where is my data stored?

In Frankfurt. Your data stays in the EU, and ZEST is built for German data-protection law.

Does the assistant decide for me?

No. It reads your figures, explains what stands out and suggests what to do. Every figure opens to the rows behind it, and it never changes your rota or your orders on its own.

Is there a DATEV export?

Yes. The closed week exports in DATEV Lohn und Gehalt format, with your own wage types.

What does it mean to be a pilot restaurant?

You work directly with us: we set ZEST up together, you have a direct line to the team, and your feedback decides what ZEST learns next.

Let’s look at your restaurant.

  • Twenty minutes is enough to understand ZEST.

    We show you the product with data like yours, not slides.

  • We set it up with you.

    We connect your team, register and suppliers together. You install nothing.

  • Pilot restaurants in Berlin wanted.

    The first restaurants work directly with us and shape what ZEST learns next.
