Zenchef has passed €2 million in ARR and will use the new capital to pursue further international expansion, targeting 25,000 restaurants in Europe by 2018. 1001 Menus provides a platform enabling small businesses to manage their information across the Internet from a single interface. The service includes a website, a mobile site, and a Facebook app for adding menus to a Facebook fan page.

The company was founded in 2010 by Xavier Zeitoun, Thomas Zeitoun and Julien Balmont and is based in Paris, France.
