Ziblo is online since October 10: the beta version for the restaurant industry is available
Since October 10, Ziblo is officially online in beta version.
Ziblo was created to help restaurants, pizzerias, bars, agriturismi, venues, and events manage their online presence, digital menus, reservations, public pages, and customer information from a single platform.
The beta version allows you to start immediately with essential tools, without activation costs and without having to subscribe to modules that are not useful for your establishment.
The principle is simple: start for free with what you need to be online, then add only the functions useful for the growth of your business.
A beta built to improve together
Ziblo is online in beta version because we want to develop the platform together with the businesses that will use it every day.
During this phase, you can configure your establishment, create the menu, activate reservations, publish your Ziblo Page, and test the available functionalities. Your suggestions, reports, and operational needs will be important for improving the service and defining the next evolutions of the platform.
If you have doubts, requests, suggestions, need assistance, or want information about the available modules, you can write to:
