Integrations/BistroChat

Papaya + BistroChat

Connect Papaya to BistroChat and your covers, tables and guest profiles stay in lockstep across both platforms. Every booking, waitlist entry and walk-in that BistroChat takes lands straight on your Papaya floor plan, so the host stand and the kitchen run one plan instead of a paper book.

How it works

Three steps from disconnected to in sync.

No middleware to host, no CSV exports. Authorize once and Papaya does the matching, then keeps both sides current on its own.

01

Connect your BistroChat account

Open Integrations in Papaya, choose BistroChat, and authorize. The handshake runs over BistroChat's official API — nothing to install, no credentials to copy around.

02

Map tables & outlets

Match each Papaya outlet and floor section to its BistroChat layout and confirm the mapping. Tables, party sizes and time slots line up — review once, then let it run.

03

Bookings sync in real time

Reservations, waitlist entries and cancellations flow into Papaya the moment they happen, seat to the right table, and push status back to BistroChat as the night moves.

What you get

One source of truth for every channel.

Update a table or a time slot once in Papaya and it lands everywhere BistroChat reaches. Close a section and it stops taking covers across every channel in seconds — so the host never seats a table that isn't ready.

  • Reservation sync — bookings, waitlist and party sizes stay matched across both platforms.
  • Table & floor management — map every section once; covers route to the right room automatically.
  • Guest profiles — allergies, tags, spend and visit history travel with every BistroChat booking.
  • Fewer no-shows — automated reminders, deposits and an accurate cover count for the kitchen.

BistroChat questions

Good to know.

Everything teams ask before they wire up BistroChat with Papaya.

BistroChat is a reservations and guest-management platform restaurants use to take bookings, run a waitlist and keep guest profiles. Papaya plugs into it so every cover BistroChat books lands in one place — your Papaya floor plan — alongside walk-ins and dine-in, instead of in a separate book.
Most teams are live in under an hour. Authorizing the connection takes a couple of minutes; the rest is mapping your tables and sections once. After that it runs on its own with no manual re-entry.
The BistroChat connection is available on Papaya's Growth and Scale plans. See pricing for the full breakdown, or talk to sales about multi-outlet rollouts.
Yes. You can manage tables and availability in Papaya and push them out through BistroChat, or pull existing BistroChat bookings in. Covers, party sizes and guest notes stay matched on both sides.
Updates and cancellations made in BistroChat reflect on your Papaya floor plan within seconds, freeing the table for the next party — and any change you make in Papaya pushes back to BistroChat the same way.

Get every cover on one floor plan.

Wire Papaya to BistroChat and stop running the night off a paper book. Start free, then connect your booking channels in minutes.
