FAQ

Is Pipedrive good for restaurants?

It can store contacts. It is built as a B2B sales CRM, not a reservation and floor-plan product. Most restaurants still need a booking system beside it.

Can Komby replace Pipedrive for a sales team?

For service businesses whose “sales” are mostly booked consultations and retainers, often yes. For enterprise deal cycles with complex forecasting, Pipedrive (or a heavier sales CRM) may remain better.

Does Komby have deal stages like Pipedrive?

Komby Up focuses on customer relationships, segmentation, and campaigns tied to operations. It is not marketed as a classic B2B deal-room OS.

Why trial Office before Resto for Pipedrive switchers?

Most Pipedrive users are service and B2B teams. Office Booking + CRM maps to their calendar reality; Resto is for hospitality floor plans. ---
