Deliverect, a global food tech SaaS [software-as-a-service] company, has announced its acquisition of Tabesto, a French provider of all-in-one restaurant ordering and payment kiosk solutions.
The deal will enhance the in-store service experience for restaurants using Deliverect's platform for managing online orders.
The acquisition brings 60 new employees to Deliverect, including Tabesto CEO and co-founder Guillaume Hourmant, who will now serve as head of Deliverect Kiosk, focusing on product strategy.
Deliverect's addition of Tabesto's kiosk technology supports omnichannel customers looking to digitise their restaurant operations further.
Tabesto kiosks improve operational efficiency and boost sales by as much as 30%.
Implementing Tabesto's order terminals can streamline the ordering process and reduce wait times.
The kiosks offer customisation and integration with existing suppliers and point-of-service systems, providing a solution adaptable to any restaurant setup.
The kiosks feature integrated tap and pay and external payment terminal options, ensuring a flexible payment experience.
Restaurant owners can manage digital menus from one screen, offering a unified solution for their business needs.
Tabesto's existing customer base of 1,500 will continue to receive support while gaining access to Deliverect's global resources.
Deliverect CEO and co-founder Zhong Xu stated: “At Deliverect, our vision has always been to help the food service community thrive in the digital age.
“Today’s consumer wants the best of both worlds –– they’re looking for speed alongside a premium experience. The acquisition of Tabesto enables us to further support both on and off-premise ordering experiences.
“Allowing restaurants to manage their menus and operations centrally across all their digital channels. We remain committed to this goal –– exploring options to further expand the coverage of Deliverect into other regions organically as well through mergers and acquisitions –– and are thrilled to have Tabesto’s technology and brilliant team join Deliverect in this mission.”
This acquisition marks another significant development for Deliverect following the launch of Deliverect Pulse, a marketing intelligence platform, and Deliverect Retail, an order and delivery solution for the grocery sector.
With the integration of Tabesto's technology, Deliverect expects further growth across the European Union and advances in its aim of providing comprehensive digital food ordering solutions.
Tabesto CEO and co-founder Guillaume Hourmant said: "We're delighted to join Deliverect, a major player in food tech innovation. This acquisition enables our two companies to reinforce a shared mission: to transform the restaurant industry through digital.
“With Deliverect's international presence, this partnership opens up unique opportunities for us to reach a wider customer base and penetrate new markets. We look forward to helping even more restaurants embrace digital, improving their efficiency and customer experience."
