Our take
In recent years, there have been dramatic changes to the way the catering industry operates. The benefits of pandemic-imposed structures, such as digital ordering interfaces and delivery infrastructure, have outlived the reason they were brought on, as many restaurants have found these digital solutions provide both operational efficiency and additional revenue.
Olo provides all-in-one digital ordering and delivery platforms for restaurants, providing software interfaces for digital payments, menus and ordering, in addition to on-demand delivery. The platforms are provided in both mobile and web formats and facilitate both traditional and alternative ordering systems such as at kiosks, drive-thrus, and voice automated ordering. Whilst the company certainly faces competition from the variety of alternative digital ordering platforms for the catering industry, it stands out by providing an all-in-one solution, instead of focussing on just one area.
The company has partnered with catering giants such as Denny's and The Cheesecake Factory, whilst also providing affordable systems for small independent businesses. The latest addition to its offerings is the commercially available "Borderless" functionality, which has the potential to speed up and streamline payment at venues across Olo's network.
