An integration partnership between orderswift, the UK-based web and mobile ordering platform, and casual dining point of sale (POS) specialists Comtrex has reached £1m in sales.
The collaboration allows participating restaurants to receive and process orders placed online seamlessly at site level.
The two hospitality companies first linked up in late 2014, with orderswift replacing US suppliers OrderTalk as Comtrex’s preferred online ordering partner in early 2015.
Since then, the integration has been implemented successfully by several restaurant groups, including Rosa’s Thai Cafe, Bodeans and Kua ‘Aina.
Matt Gilbert, co-founder of orderswift, said: “orderswift was less than a year old when we first partnered with Comtrex, so we were privileged and thrilled that one of the UK’s most respected POS companies had the belief in our product to offer it to their clients. We’ve enjoyed playing our part in reaching this milestone and repaying that faith. We’re now firmly focussed on helping generate the next million, as we prepare to launch with one of the UK’s most popular restaurant groups later this month.”
Steven Roberts, managing director of Comtrex, said: “We’d been offering online ordering through another supplier for a couple of years, but orderswift came to us with a slick product and an innovative approach that we felt would be a better fit for our clients and their customers. We’ve seen the demand for online ordering grow significantly since then and orderswift has helped us meet our clients’ needs and exceed their expectations.”
Saiphin Moore, co-founder of Rosa’s Thai Cafe, said: “orderswift and Comtrex has been a fantastic combination for our business. The feedback from our customers is that they love the ease of placing an order through our branded ordering portal, while integration with our POS means we have a similarly fuss-free experience on site – it’s a win-win.”
