Powering Digital Innovation With Delivery And Order-Ahead

Digital Innovation With Delivery And Order-Ahead

Fast-casual restaurant groups are teaming with eCommerce firms to offer on-demand delivery via digital technology. Dine Brands, in one case, is partnering with Postmates to offer delivery from thousands of locations. And in mobile order-ahead news, the rush to digital and mobile ordering is benefiting many restaurants. Dunkin’, for instance, just announced the addition of a guest ordering offering amid a rise in on-the-go mobile orders. All this, Today in Data.
