Revasi vs Chope
Your brand shouldn't live on a discount marketplace.
Chope drives footfall through discounts and rewards — but every booking goes through their platform, not yours. For high-end venues where brand identity matters, Revasi gives you a fully branded booking experience on your own terms.
The discount marketplace problem for premium venues
Chope is the dominant restaurant booking marketplace in Singapore and has strong reach across Southeast Asia — Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and beyond. It's effective at what it does: driving diners to restaurants through a consumer app powered by discounts, deals, and reward points.
For casual and mid-range restaurants looking for volume, Chope delivers. But for a high-end restaurant or bar, the model creates a fundamental tension. The Chope platform conditions diners to expect discounts. Rewards points, flash deals, and promotional pricing are core to how the marketplace works — and that positioning sits uncomfortably next to a venue charging $150+ per person for a tasting menu.
Every booking on Chope goes through Chope's branded interface. Your venue appears as a listing in their marketplace, alongside competitors, with Chope's branding, Chope's layout, and Chope's promotional mechanics. For a venue that has invested in a distinct brand identity — in photography, design, and tone — this is a significant compromise.
There's also the commission model. Chope charges restaurants for the bookings it generates, and for a high-end venue running strong organic demand, you're paying commission on guests who would have booked with you directly. The guest data belongs to Chope, not you — limiting your ability to build lasting relationships with your diners.

Common questions
How does Revasi compare to Chope?
Chope is a consumer-facing marketplace platform with a strong footprint in Singapore and Southeast Asia. It drives footfall through discounts and rewards, but every booking is on Chope's branded platform — not yours. For high-end restaurants and bars where guest experience and brand identity matter, Revasi gives you a fully owned, branded booking journey with no marketplace exposure.
Does Chope charge commission on bookings?
Yes. Chope operates on a commission model where restaurants pay for bookings generated through the marketplace. For high-volume premium venues, these fees add up significantly. Revasi charges a flat subscription with zero per-cover commission.
Will listing on Chope damage my brand positioning?
Chope's marketplace actively incentivises diners with discounts, deals, and rewards points. For a high-end venue where brand positioning is built around quality and exclusivity, appearing alongside discount-driven listings creates a tension that's difficult to manage. Revasi keeps your brand separate from any marketplace.
Does Chope have good coverage in Southeast Asia?
Chope has genuine consumer reach in Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and other Asian cities — it drives real footfall. But that footfall comes through a discount-first marketplace where your brand takes a back seat. Revasi is built for venues that want direct bookings on their own terms.
