The development is expected to offer guests a straightforward payment process across touchpoints including personal devices, kiosks, mobile wallets, and credit card payments at the table or through the POS for full-service dining.

The Engage integration will enable restaurant brands using TRAY to consolidate digital and in-person interactions into a single guest profile, unlocking insights into customer behaviour and preferences.

Olo founder and CEO Noah Glass said: “The significance of this collaboration in light of current trends. Despite the industry’s gradual shift towards digital, a staggering 84% of restaurant transactions remain offline with card swipes on a POS.

“The partnership between Olo and TRAY aims to bridge this gap by empowering more restaurants with the tools needed to not only increase orders and streamline operations but also to craft hyper-personalised experiences for every guest.”

In addition to the Pay and Engage integrations, TRAY will now be able to synchronise menu data with Olo Ordering by pushing POS data directly from TRAY’s menu management system into Olo’s menu management application programming interface (API)..

TRAY is also set to integrate with Olo’s Order Ready AI API, which will use data from the TRAY system to inform when an order is completed.

The new Olo integrations with TRAY are scheduled to become available in 2024.
