Prague’s hospitality scene continues to evolve. Tourists are returning in record numbers, new cuisines are emerging, and recognition from the Michelin Guide and Gault Millau continues to rise.

Yet beneath this momentum, locals are dining out less and delivery apps are gaining popularity. For business owners and managers, the challenge is no longer just attracting guests – it’s also in running a tighter operation to protect slipping margins.

What once relied on phone, paper, and a till has become a juggling act. Reservations come from multiple platforms, kitchen workflows are complex, and payments involve a variety of cards and providers, creating a patchwork of software that rarely integrates well.

Each additional system adds cost, training and administrative overhead, and operators are craving more simplicity. One solution gaining traction with independent venues is Tebi, a platform that consolidates features such as reservations, taking orders, and payments (including invoicing) into a single, intuitive system.

Early adopters feel a positive impact with Tebi

Since opening the doors of S74 wine&café in late 2025, Michal and David have experienced this costly patchwork of software. Welcoming over 100 guests on busy evenings, the duo found managing multiple subscriptions was draining their focus.

By switching to Tebi, they replaced three separate platforms with a single system, relying on a digital floorplan that provides a real-time overview of occupied tables, upcoming reservations, and pending orders. The switch reduced subscription costs by around 70% and saved time on staff training and administrative tasks. These savings allow them to focus on menu refinement and staffing – investments that directly enhance the guest experience.

For Café Wattle, an Australian-inspired cafe and bistro in the Vinohrady district, the challenge was maintaining calm in a small space. In a compact setting known for smooth flat whites, Tim Tams, and nostalgic Australian snacks, bulky display screens disrupted the flow between staff and guests.

Since adopting Tebi, the team manages the floor via iPhones and handheld terminals, preserving the café’s intimate atmosphere. Checkout has become a seamless part of the guest experience. Whereas other providers charge extra for tipping features, Tebi’s built-in checkout flow comes with no extra cost, allowing Tomas to double his daily tips and support staff earnings.

Looking ahead: support for more of Prague’s cafes and restaurants

In a market where full tables are no longer guaranteed, the tools that run in the background make a meaningful difference. Tebi’s rapid adoption in Prague reflects a broader trend: as standards rise and operational pressures grow, connected solutions are essential. For owners and managers, the focus is shifting back to what matters most: delivering hospitality to their guests.
