Deliverect, a global scale-up that integrates and accelerates online orders for restaurants, recently announced today that it has acquired ChatFood, a leader in social media ordering, order and pay at table, and loyalty solutions.
This acquisition provides the restaurant industry with a unified solution to enable profitable growth and exceptional experiences, including social, dine-in QR, and direct channel ordering, as well as online food delivery, according to a press communique.
Together Deliverect and ChatFood serve over 43,000 restaurants and food service businesses around the world and power over 300 million orders in 42 markets. ChatFood’s strength is in the Gulf region with more than 3,000 food service locations relying on their technology.
“With ChatFood, we now provide a 360-degree solution inspired by the challenges our customers face, supporting them both with in-restaurant dining and online food delivery,” remarked Zhong Xu, CEO and co-founder, Deliverect.
