Blockchain, POS, online ordering services partner in on-demand restaurant biz solution

March 7, 2019

Blockchain tech-based platform, Serve, has joined with online ordering and POS provider, ItsaCheckmate, to create a service that extends the reach of the growing on-demand restaurant business. The partnership will allow restaurants to bypass a number of processes in order to send orders directly to restaurants' kitchen printers, a news release said. 

"With the benefits provided by our blockchain-based on-demand technology, Serve will not only assist ItsaCheckmate and their POS partners but also help drive transparency and decentralize last-mile logistics for food delivery customers across the globe," Serve CEO Shahan Ohanessian said in the release.

ItsaCheckmate integrates online ordering sources like UberEats, GrubHub, Caviar, DoorDash, Delivery.com, Ritual and many others directly to restaurant POS systems including Brink, Toast and Revel, at a flat monthly price. Serve, also used by numerous delivery providers, makes last-mile delivery logistics viable for all sizes of businesses. It helps its end-users boost efficiency and cut costs by removing unnecessary middlemen  from transactions.

"ItsaCheckmate makes the process of accepting orders from these ever-growing online ordering platforms and delivery services much more efficient, allowing the restaurants to grow their revenue without increasing the associated costs," ItsaCheckmate founder and CEO Vishal Agarwal, said in the release. "We are very honored to have this opportunity to integrate with the Serve platform. As the volume of online orders is only going to grow, we can scale upwards and help restaurants massively streamline their orders from these sources while keeping costs stable."
