By GlobalDataWaitr chairman and CEO Carl Grimstad said: “Prior to my tenure at Waitr, we had no integrations with third-party aggregators, point of sale systems or any individual restaurants. We have since added integrations with Google Food Ordering (GFO), Itsacheckmate, Chowly, Olo Dispatch (Olo), Ordermark and Otter.
“Additionally, we have completed our first direct integration with Panera Bread and are currently in various stages of integrating with three other major national quick-service restaurant (QSR) brands that we anticipate to be completed in the second and third quarters of 2022.
“We believe that these new partnerships should bring increased visibility, increased diner access and increased order volume to the Company.”
