How to Replace Group Chat Chaos with Clear Communication

45 minutes

Running a restaurant through text messages and group chats may feel convenient, but it often leads to chaos. In this episode of Digital Hospitality, Zenzap co-founder and CEO Guy Weiss explains why hospitality needed a better solution — one that feels as simple as chat, but is secure, structured, and built for work. From onboarding and shift swaps to sales updates and task delegation, Zenzap gives restaurants a calmer, more efficient way to communicate. Discover how this mobile-first tool is already helping leading operators reduce burnout, prevent costly mistakes, and strengthen culture through clear, reliable communication.

Interview Takeaways:

Group Chats Are Costly: Running a restaurant on iMessage or WhatsApp may feel easy, but it creates hidden costs. Messages get lost, personal numbers are exposed, and operators face risks from poor onboarding to liability issues. What feels convenient can quickly turn chaotic.

Simplicity Wins Adoption: Tools like Slack and Teams were never built for hospitality. Zenzap succeeds because it works like everyday chat — simple, intuitive, mobile-first — while adding structure, security, and integrations with restaurant systems that teams actually need.

Culture Starts With Communication: A calm, organized platform doesn’t just save time. It also makes it easier for leaders to connect with staff, share appreciation, and reduce burnout. When communication improves, team culture and performance follow.
