Meitre

What Meitre does

Meitre operates a cloud-based restaurant reservation, guest management, and marketing platform focused on the fine dining segment across Latin America. The product suite centers on a commission-free booking engine that connects restaurants with a network of approximately 2 million registered diners, supplemented by a drag-and-drop table management system, a predictive analytics dashboard for demand forecasting, a credit-card-backed no-show prevention module, and guest preference tracking. Restaurants retain ownership of their guest data while the platform layers on automated WhatsApp and SMS notifications, Google Search booking integration, email marketing campaigns, gift card and event ticketing tools, and concierge credential distribution. The company monetizes through subscription and visibility fees for network access, personalized marketing services, and ancillary transaction-based offerings, operating on a freemium core with paid add-on modules.

Founded in 2016 by Luis Caviglia and Juan Ignacio Caviglia, Meitre is incorporated as Meitre, Inc. in California with origin in Uruguay and operates with a team of 1-10 employees. The company is partnered with The World's 50 Best Restaurants organization and supported by investors including Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz, 500 Global, and Canary. Restaurant partners include prominent Latin American venues such as Osaka, Maido, Don Julio, Astrid y Gastón, Quintonil, Tegui, Aramburu, and Lasai.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• CoverManager: Spain-based restaurant reservation and management platform that has expanded into Latin America. Targets similar fine-dining restaurants with comparable reservation, table management and marketing tooling, making it a regional head-to-head competitor.
• OpenTable: Global leader in online restaurant reservations, owned by Booking Holdings. Directly competes with Meitre in the commission-based reservation space and is actively expanding in Latin America, but charges per-booking fees rather than Meitre's commission-free model.
• SevenRooms: Restaurant CRM, guest management and marketing platform with strong presence in the same fine-dining segment Meitre targets. Overlaps on guest data, VIP tracking, marketing automation and reservation functionality that Meitre offers as core modules.
• Resy: Restaurant reservation platform owned by American Express with a strong fine-dining positioning that mirrors Meitre's upscale focus. Competes on diner network quality and is expanding internationally, making it a direct competitor for premium restaurant partnerships.
• Tablein: European online restaurant reservation system offering booking, table management and marketing features directly comparable to Meitre's core product, typically priced on subscription/commission hybrids.
• Quandoo: Restaurant reservation and marketing platform with operations in Europe and parts of Asia, competing in the same online booking category as Meitre. Comparable SaaS-plus-marketing business model aimed at restaurant acquisition and diner engagement.
• TheFork: European restaurant booking platform owned by Tripadvisor with significant Latin American presence (notably in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico). Directly competes with Meitre on the same commission-based reservation model for the same regional restaurants.

Broad incumbents

• Yelp Reservations: Yelp's reservation product bundles booking functionality into its much larger consumer reviews and discovery platform. Indirectly competes with Meitre for diner attention and restaurant marketing dollars, but reservation management is not its core product.

Emerging players

• Toast: Rapidly growing restaurant POS and operations platform that has added reservation and guest management features. While primarily a POS provider, its expanding suite overlaps with Meitre's table management and analytics modules and could displace Meitre in restaurant tech stacks.

Others

• Google Business Profile / Reserve with Google: Google's restaurant discovery and booking surface is both a key distribution partner and a latent competitor. If Google deepens native reservation functionality, restaurants and diners could bypass third-party platforms like Meitre, making Google simultaneously a partner and existential risk.
