Restaurant opsthat earn onlywhen you do.
Coperto runs the boring parts of an independent restaurant — reservations, deposits, the late-night WhatsApp questions, the Google reviews — and takes 1% of card volume. No monthly fee. No setup. No lock-in.
Four moves, then you go quiet.
The setup is white-glove. The handoff is total. After day one we touch your phone twice a week, mostly for confirmations.
We set you up
30-minute call to understand your menu, hours, and rules. We build your hosted site and seed your WhatsApp concierge with your voice.
You connect Stripe
One Stripe Connect Express form. We never custody your money — Stripe pays you out, we deduct 1% on each charge. No payouts batching, no hold periods.
You claim a number
Either keep your existing number on Meta WhatsApp Cloud, or we provision a fresh dedicated line. Concierge starts answering on day one.
You go quiet
Reservations land confirmed, deposits land cleared, reviews get drafted replies. We escalate complaints, large parties, and refund requests to your phone.
Front of house, aligned.
One platform for the operations you already run by hand or by phone. Paid as a slice of card volume — never as a subscription.
WhatsApp concierge, your voice
Claude-powered concierge handles menu questions, hours, allergens, and reservations. Trained per restaurant on your brand voice. Escalates complaints, refunds, and big-party events to your phone with one-tap confirm.
Reservations + deposits
Auto-confirm rules per party size, lead time, and day. Deposits captured via Stripe when you choose. Calendar that fits on a phone.
Hosted site, your domain
Mobile-first single page with menu, hours, story, gallery, and reservation CTA. DE + EN. We design and ship it for you.
Google Business, on autopilot
Reviews ingested, replies drafted in your voice, weekly Posts scheduled. You approve in the inbox.
Multi-tenant by default
Postgres row-level security from day one. Your data is scoped, encrypted, EU-hosted.
White-glove onboarding
We don't have a self-serve form because we don't want one. The first 20 restaurants get hands-on setup.
Operations,
aligned.
Anti-SaaS isn't a marketing line. It's a structural choice that shapes every product decision below. If we ever start optimizing for retention over your revenue, we've broken the contract.
We don't sell software.
We sell a slice of the work, paid only when work happens. Our incentive is your card volume — not your willingness to forget you're paying us.
We don't custody your money.
Stripe is the merchant of record. Coperto deducts 1% at the moment of charge. There is no payouts schedule, no holds, no platform balance.
We don't chase scale at your expense.
We cap onboarding at twenty restaurants until the design language stabilizes. Self-serve is a future quarter, not a launch tactic.
We don't pretend to be human.
The concierge announces it's a concierge. It escalates anything sensitive. There is always a human path back to the owner.
Zur Krone runs on Coperto.
105 seats. Calabrian chef. A vaulted cellar. We rebuilt their front of house in two weeks — DE/EN site, WhatsApp concierge, deposit rules, review autopilot.
ZurKrone
Zur Krone, Geisa.
105-seat Italian restaurant in Thuringia run by Mario Avena, a Calabrian chef who cooks as well as he answers his own phone.
“I don't want a subscription. I want my evenings back. Coperto answers the phone, takes the booking, and gets out of the way.”

Before Coperto, Mario fielded reservation calls between courses, lost tourist bookings to Booking.com competitors with English-only sites, and let half his Google reviews go un-answered. We rebuilt his front of house in two weeks: hosted DE/EN site, WhatsApp concierge with allergen knowledge, deposit rules for the Gewölbekeller, and Google review autopilot. Zero monthly fee.
One percent. That's the whole conversation.
No tiers, no minimums, no setup fee. Pay only on card volume that actually flows through Coperto. Stripe processing fees pass through at cost.
Of card volume processed through Coperto. That's it. Stripe's payment processing fees still apply (typically 1.4% + €0.25 in EU). We don't take a cut of cash, of phone reservations, or of anything you process outside the platform.
- No monthly fee
- No setup fee
- No long-term contract
- No charge for free reservations
- No charge for messages
- No upsell tier
Stripe processing fees are passed through at cost. The “typical SaaS” number assumes a small POS + reservation subscription bundle plus a 1.5% surcharge — the kind of stack you'd assemble from current incumbents.
The honest FAQ.
No carve-outs in fine print. If we'd rather not answer it, we wouldn't have shipped this section.
Twenty restaurants.
No more in 2026.
We cap onboarding at twenty restaurants until the design language stabilizes. After that, we open self-serve. Until then, every partner gets a 30-minute call and our hands on their setup.
