YEATapp

What YEATapp does

YEATapp (operated as Yeatapp bv, registered in Belgium with VAT BE0788.681.165 and headquartered in Bruges) is a two-sided marketplace platform that connects diners with last-minute table availability at high-end restaurants. The platform was founded in 2020 by Patrick De Langhe and Lore Aerts — De Langhe is also the owner of Boo Raan in Knokke-Heist — explicitly to solve the problem of empty tables caused by last-minute cancellations and no-shows at fine-dining establishments. On the supply side, the company lists more than 600 restaurants holding Michelin, Gault&Millau, Les Grandes Tables Du Monde, and 50 Best accolades across Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom; on the demand side, the platform is used by more than 100,000 foodies who download the consumer app for free on iOS and Android.

The technical core is a consumer mobile app (iOS and Android) paired with a restaurant backoffice dashboard that allows operators to publish available tables with two clicks and receive real-time push notifications when a table is booked — the company reports a record booking time of seven seconds and several restaurants with 1,500+ foodie favorites. The platform integrates natively with three reservation systems — Zenchef, Resengo, and Formitable — to two-way sync bookings into the restaurant's system of record and eliminate double-booking risk. Additional features include 24/7 restaurant support, guided onboarding, and monthly performance reporting.

The business model is a transaction-fee plus subscription model targeting restaurants. Pricing is offered under a 'No Cure No Pay' structure: restaurants can try the platform free for one month, after which they subscribe to an Upfront Package (including a €60 discount and lower per-booking fees) and only pay for months in which the platform generates bookings. Consumers (foodies) pay nothing to use the app, only settling their restaurant bill directly. The company employs a product-led growth motion toward foodies (free app downloads via the App Store and Google Play) and a sales-led motion toward restaurants (Calendly-scheduled 'virtual coffee' calls, guided onboarding, and referral introductions to existing partner restaurants). Distribution is supported by app store presence, content/testimonial marketing featuring Michelin-starred chefs, and a minor GTM partnership with Mateza for restaurant discounts.

Revenue model

1. Restaurant Subscription & Commission: YEATapp charges restaurants a subscription fee with a 'No Cure No Pay' model. If no tables are booked through the platform in a month, the restaurant pays nothing. The upfront package includes a 1-month trial period, €60 discount, and lower fees per booked place. Revenue is generated through transaction fees per booking and/or monthly subscription charges.
2. Consumer App (Free for Foodies): The foodie app is free to download, browse, and book tables. Revenue is not generated directly from consumers; they only pay their restaurant bill directly.

Others

• Resengo: Belgian-headquartered reservation platform with strong Benelux presence that is integrated with YEATapp. Comparable as restaurant-side reservation infrastructure serving the same geographies YEATapp targets.
• Formitable: European reservation and restaurant management platform integrated with YEATapp. Comparable as restaurant-side reservation infrastructure for the European fine-dining market YEATapp serves.
• Zenchef: European reservation and restaurant management platform that is a direct technology integration partner of YEATapp. Comparable as restaurant-side booking infrastructure; not a direct consumer-facing competitor but adjacent in the value chain.

Broad incumbents

• SevenRooms: Restaurant CRM, marketing, and reservations platform serving premium hospitality operators globally. Comparable to YEATapp on the restaurant-side tech stack but broader in scope (CRM, marketing, guest profiles); relevant as both a competitor and a partner/alternative integration.

Direct peers

• TheFork: European restaurant booking platform owned by Tripadvisor, operating across multiple EU markets including Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK. Directly competes with YEATapp in the same geographies and customer segments, with much larger restaurant inventory.
• Resy: Restaurant reservation platform owned by American Express focused on premium and chef-driven restaurants. Directly comparable to YEATapp's high-end positioning and curated restaurant network, though Resy is stronger in the US.
• Tock: Reservation and ticketing platform for premium restaurants, chefs, and pop-ups. Comparable in its high-end restaurant focus and curated inventory, offering a direct alternative for fine-dining venues.
• OpenTable: Global restaurant reservation platform serving diners and restaurants with real-time availability and booking. Directly comparable to YEATapp as a two-sided booking marketplace; YEATapp differentiates on the last-minute fine-dining niche while OpenTable operates as a broad incumbent.
• Quandoo: European restaurant booking marketplace operating across multiple EU countries. Directly comparable to YEATapp as a diner-facing reservation platform targeting restaurants, though with broader (not luxury-curated) positioning.

Regional players

• CoverManager: Restaurant reservation and management software popular in Spain and Latin America, expanding in Europe. Comparable as restaurant reservation infrastructure for premium venues, though primarily serving different geographies than YEATapp.
