In Zenchef:

1. Go to your integrations settings and connect Workfeed

How does the integration work?

Once you integrate Zenchef and Workfeed, all your table bookings in Zenchef are automatically gathered in Workfeed, allowing you to create staff schedules that match the expected amount of guests in your restaurant. You can see the daily number of bookings and guests directly in the schedule view underneath each day.

When you click on the total number of guests for a day you'll see all bookings for that day by the hours as well as an overview of peak moments. Moreover, walk-ins are also shown in Workfeed - allowing you to see both the current number of guests in your restaurant as well as the amount of staff you have on the floor.
