ChefNet is a restaurant technology platform with native reservations, in-app payments, verified reviews, AI guest personalization, and a built-in restaurant CRM. It is operated by ChefNet LLC and is in pre-IPO development with the MVP already live.
ChefNet is not a delivery-only marketplace and not a yet-another booking app that competes with the restaurant's own brand. It is a technology layer the restaurant uses to own its guest relationship — distribution, payments, CRM — without giving up the guest to a third-party aggregator.
Restaurants can apply to join the network through the contact form on chefnet.ai. Onboarding includes menu integration, payment setup, and a staff training pass. There is no listing fee for early partners during the pre-IPO development stage.

No. ChefNet is a restaurant technology platform focused on discovery, reservations, in-app payments, verified reviews, and CRM. Delivery integrations may appear later but are not the core model.
Guest data generated through a restaurant's operations belongs primarily to that restaurant, with the guest in control of personal data under GDPR and applicable laws. ChefNet acts as a technology operator. Full data terms are in the Terms of Service.
