About the company

Olo

Computer Software / SaaS

Olo was born out of a simple idea: What if you could order and pay for a coffee from your phone and have it ready upon arrival at the cafe? We got to work in 2005, sending text message orders to printers—two years before the iPhone would change the world. While the hospitality industry is still in the early innings of its digital transformation, we remain committed over two decades later to helping restaurants, convenience stores, and supermarkets scale online ordering and delivery, make data-driven business decisions, and personalize the guest experience on- and off-premise. As a leading open SaaS platform, we reach 85 million connected guests across approximately 80,000 locations, processing more than two million orders per day on average. With integrations to over 300 technology partners, our customers can build digital experiences with the largest and most flexible restaurant commerce ecosystem on the market. Over 700 restaurant brands trust Olo to grow their sales, do more with less, and make every guest feel like a regular.
