Digital Main Street launches pilot with Deliverect to support Toronto restaurants
Toronto-based Digital Main Street and ventureLAB are launching a new pilot with Belgian-founded startup Deliverect to offer a delivery optimization solution to Toronto restaurants this winter.
“We are confident that Deliverect can make restaurants thrive this winter by managing their online sales in a way that increases sales.”
Through the pilot, Deliverect’s solution will connect UberEats, Doordash, SkipTheDishes, and other delivery companies directly to restaurants’ POS system in order to automate the online order process. Deliverect’s platform aims to alleviate the requirement to have staff maintain multiple tablets for delivery orders, reducing mistakes and wait times for customers.
