About Deliverect:

Deliverect was founded in 2018 by Jan Hollez, Jelte Vrijhoef and Zhong Xu. It is a single interface that brings together all 3rd party food delivery platforms like Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Doordash etc and helps restaurants manage working with multiple such delivery companies.

Online delivery has definitely increased the sales and reach of restaurants. But multiple 3rd party delivery platforms makes managing workflows and operations a headache. Each time an order has to be manually copied from multiple such platforms onto the restaurant’s own point of sales. This leads to higher admin expenses, unnecessary errors and stress.

Deliverect was founded to solve this problem. It integrates a restaurant’s POS with multiple delivery platforms, gives a bird’s eye view of all the different orders at one location, automatically forwards the order information to the kitchen and keeps all the parties (customers, delivery platforms, restaurants) updated with the order and delivery status.

Deliverect’s business model has witnessed remarkable growth over the previous year with around 30 million orders from its customers and a stunning 750% user growth.

What the CEO has to say:

“The restaurant industry is in a historical moment of change and digitalisation, and delivery has become crucial for the survival of this industry. Our mission is simple: to be the backbone of on-demand food helping to support restaurants around the world to thrive in the online space.”—Zhong Xu, co-founder and CEO of Deliverect.
