Waitr Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: WTRH) (“Waitr” or the “Company”), a
leader in on-demand food ordering and delivery, announced today a
new partnership with PDQ restaurants. Effectively immediately,
Waitr and Bite Squad will offer delivery from PDQ in select Florida
markets.
The new agreement with PDQ is the latest addition to a growing
list of national restaurants that are now available on the Waitr
delivery platform. The Company has also recently completed
integrations with several of the country’s top delivery management
and optimization platforms – providing its restaurant partners with
the opportunity to increase order accuracy, efficiency, reach and
revenue.
PDQ is known for its award-winning fresh chicken tenders,
hand-crafted chicken sandwiches, signature sauces and hand-spun
shakes. And just last month, PDQ introduced a new Spicy Chicken
Sandwich and Spicy Nuggets for a limited time.
In addition to providing great food, Waitr and PDQ both share
the same the sense of community, being heavily involved in
assisting the areas they serve. Waitr and PDQ have each been
involved with the Second Harvest Food Bank. PDQ donated $20,000 to
Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida last October, while
Waitr worked with the Louisiana Second Harvest Food Bank in
Lafayette and New Orleans on a Holiday Food Drive that resulted in
the delivery of 1,200 meals to those in need and a $10,000 check
from Waitr to the food bank.
“PDQ shares our values at Waitr; they understand how important
it is to give back to the communities that support them,” said Carl
Grimstad, CEO and Chairman of Waitr. “It’s this philosophy, not to
mention PDQ being one of the top restaurant chains in Florida, that
makes this such an exciting, symbiotic business relationship.”
