Why venues move from Eat App

Deposits included

On Eat App, deposits are an add-on. Benvo Reservations includes deposits with rules by party size, date, room and occasion.

AI on calls, not only chat

Eat App answers messages with AI and reaches phone answering through partners. Benvo's Chloe answers both calls and messages from prepaid Agent time.

WhatsApp without a plan quota

Eat App sets a WhatsApp message quota per plan. Benvo runs two-way WhatsApp from the venue's own number, with usage passed through at cost.

Beyond the restaurant

Benvo adds memberships, events, spa and hotel rooms on the same record when a venue grows past one dining room.
