CHICAGO, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, the
nation's leading takeout marketplace, today announced its
integration with industry-leading point of sale (POS) systems,
Breadcrumb POS by Upserve and Toast. Restaurants using these
systems can now manage all of their orders, both in-house and
takeout, from one device. The new integration will also allow
restaurants to more efficiently staff, save time on menu updates,
consolidate financials and free up space on the crowded delivery
tablet counter.
Grubhub's POS integration raises the bar for in-house restaurant
technology efficiency and eliminates the need to use multiple
tablets, offering restaurant employees a streamlined restaurant
operations experience. This means more time for staff to focus on
what matters most: serving up delicious food.
"We're completely focused on creating technology that enhances
the experience of our restaurant partners," said Stan Chia, Chief Operating Officer of Grubhub.
"With restaurant feedback in mind, we've built integrations
designed to create efficiencies for restaurateurs. These
improvements will positively impact the bottom line of
restaurateurs, by helping restaurant owners spend less time on
management logistics and more time creating great food."
Some key benefits include:
- Improved staffing efficiencies - Streamlining
restaurant management functions means restaurateurs can deliver
more orders for negligible incremental labor. This leads to
significant cost savings, particularly for high-volume
restaurants
- Smoother restaurant operations - Managing orders
and inventory directly from the POS system allows staff to focus on
serving up delicious food, rather than spending time tracking
orders on multiple tablets
- Save time on menu updates - Menus updated via the
POS system will automatically update on Grubhub's website, and on
the mobile web and apps. This offers significant time savings to
restaurant employees
- Better business insights - Consolidated financial
information makes balancing the books and managing tips easier and
more efficient
- Fewer devices in-house - Integrating into one
in-house system allows restaurant owners to reduce the amount of
hardware at each restaurant, clearing the crowded counter of
delivery tablets to create a more functional space
"We're thrilled to welcome Grubhub to the Upserve Marketplace as
our newest ordering partner, enabling instant online ordering to
Breadcrumb POS to improve productivity, speed delivery time and
eliminate errors," said Angus Davis,
CEO and founder of Upserve. "Building on the early success we saw
with shared customers during the pre-release shipped last quarter,
we are excited to now bring this new program to many more of the 32
million active diners who enjoy over 23 million meals per month on
the Upserve platform."
"Toast Restaurant POS is an all-in-one mobile, cloud-based
platform built specifically for restaurants. Incorporating key
facets of the guest experience into one tool, Toast integrates
online ordering, gift card capabilities, loyalty programs, labor
reporting, and sales data," said Chris
Comparato, CEO of Toast. "We are excited to bring our
best-in-class customer support and service to Grubhub users
nationwide."
Grubhub's point of sale integration -- a top request from its
restaurant partners -- is already creating efficiencies for
much-loved restaurant chains including Protein Bar, along with
local favorites like NYC's Mile End Delicatessen and Chicago's Bombay Wraps.
"Protein Bar and Kitchen's focus on serving delicious, healthy
food to guests has been greatly accelerated due to the power of
Grubhub's marketplace," said Jeff
Drake, CEO Protein Bar and Kitchen. "In addition, Grubhub
continues to demonstrate its leadership and restaurant partner
focus by innovating on products such as POS integration, that will
allow for unparalleled execution of 3rd party online orders."
"We work hard to create Montreal-style specialty foods for our
diners to enjoy, and appreciate the additional reach and awareness
brought about by online ordering," said Joel Tietolman, co-owner of Mile End
Delicatessen in New York. "Grubhub
and Breadcrumb's POS integration allows us to update our
in-restaurant and takeout menus at the same time, on one platform.
This saves us time each day, and ensures that our diners can choose
from the most updated menu items, whether they're eating in our
restaurant or dining in the comfort of their own home."
"Our restaurant has one simple mission: to bring the delicious
street foods that we ate growing up in Bombay," said Ali
Dewjee, owner of Bombay Wraps in Chicago. "Since the integration of our
Breadcrumb POS with Grubhub, it's been easier than ever to manage
our back-of-house functions, giving us more time to bring the
amazing tastes of Bombay to the
people of Chicago!"
