Kuchl's release notes. Every major version is named after a Dolomite pass; between one pass and the next come smaller updates, which we call cable cars.

Version 1.0 · October 2026 · our first official release
Floor and bookings
- The table grid: the whole evening at a glance, with bookings as coloured blocks you move with a finger and pinch to zoom.
- Bookings, walk-ins and extras in a few taps, with coloured states: booked, extra, seated, left, to be confirmed.
- Joined tables and groups across several tables; durations by shift and by party size; a red warning when a table is about to overrun.
- Evening summary filtered by room, a waiting list that becomes a booking with one tap, search.
Guests
- Guest profile with notes, allergies, language, VIP, visits and no-shows.
- Blocked guests and a history of changes.
- Automatic no-show (optional) and automatic end-of-day closing.
Lea, the assistant
- On WhatsApp, Lea takes, moves and cancels bookings, answers questions about the menu and allergens, knows your closures and holidays, and hands special cases to your staff.
- If an allergen isn't listed, Lea doesn't make it up: she asks the owner.
- She starts in learning mode, with the owner approving or correcting her replies, and goes automatic when the owner decides. She pauses when a staff member replies.
- Lea for your staff, in a chat inside the app: “How many covers tonight?”, “Is there room for 6 on Saturday?”.
- Digital menu for Lea: upload it from a PDF, a photo or a link, in Italian, German and English, with daily and rotating menus.
Phone, WhatsApp and website
- Phone: if a guest calls and the restaurant can't answer, the restaurant's voicemail answers and the guest receives a WhatsApp message to book with Lea. The caller's number is kept.
- The restaurant's own official WhatsApp Business, connected through Fermich, an official Meta partner; a new restaurant can connect it on its own.
- Block-based automatic workflows: you decide what happens when someone calls or writes.
- Online booking from the restaurant's website, with a confirmation email, changes and cancellations from a personal link, and an alert to the owner for every external booking.
Organisation
- Shifts, closures, holidays and limits per time slot.
- Staff roles, several venues with one login, notifications, light and dark theme.
- Read-only access even without a connection.
Reliability and access
- Three servers in three data centres, in Germany and Finland: if one stops, the others carry on. Updates don't switch the service off.
- A web app: use it from the browser on iPhone, iPad and computer and add it to the Home screen.
- Available in Italian, German and English.
