The acquisition enables Deliverect to extend and support social media, dine-in QR, and direct channel ordering.

May 10, 2023 - Deliverect, a global scale-up that integrates and accelerates online orders for restaurants, announced today that it has acquired ChatFood, a leader in social media ordering, order and pay at table, and loyalty solutions. This acquisition provides the restaurant industry with a unified solution to enable profitable growth and exceptional experiences, including social, dine-in QR, and direct channel ordering, as well as online food delivery.

Together Deliverect and ChatFood serve over 43,000 restaurants and food service businesses around the world and power over 300 million orders in 42 markets. ChatFood’s strength is in the Gulf region, with more than 3,000 food service locations relying on their technology. ChatFood co-founders, Benjamin Mouflard and Vini Rodrigues, will remain with Deliverect, leading further growth and expansion.

“We are thrilled to welcome ChatFood to the Deliverect team. With ChatFood, we now provide a 360-degree solution inspired by the challenges our customers face, supporting them both with in-restaurant dining and online food delivery.

With the addition of ChatFood, Deliverect will offer customers a one-stop, best-in-class digital platform that eliminates complexity and drives value for both in-restaurant dining and online delivery experiences. When restaurants invest in social media ordering technology specifically, they can better understand, connect with, and engage their customers directly to grow repeat business and stand out from the competition. 

“We’ve had an opportunity to observe Deliverect’s values and dedication to their customers through our existing integration and long-standing partnership. We recognised that their approach aligned with our own. We are so excited by this next chapter in our journey and bringing our solutions to restaurants around the world.”
