Olo, the open SaaS platform for restaurants, has announced that it is downsizing its team by 11% by laying off 81 employees.
The company’s founder and CEO Noah Glass noted that the move will help shape the future of Olo and will put the company on a stronger path to growth.
Employees departing from the company will receive three months of paid severance, plus one additional week per year of tenure, as well as three months of paid COBRA health insurance for employees and their dependents.
Additionally, the employees will receive accelerated equity vesting through the end of the calendar year 2023 and LinkedIn Premium services for three months.
Glass said: “Olo’s success is thanks to the passion and talent of our people and having to say goodbye to dedicated members of the Olo team is challenging. These people are our colleagues and friends and I feel deeply for those impacted.
“We are committed to providing each of you with relevant information promptly and extending our full support throughout this challenging period.
