The Challenge
Erbert & Gerbert's relied on self-delivery since its founding, but decided to explore third-party delivery options to make sure they weren’t missing out on any opportunities to attract customers.
With their previous POS integration, they faced challenges in meeting particular requirements around controlling third-party platform pricing and markups. Seeking an alternative solution, they switched to Checkmate at the recommendation of their POS provider, Revel.
The Results
- Gained complete control of pricing and menu optimizations across all locations
- 25% of total sales are now digital
- Streamlined the delivery process by removing tablets and eliminating the need to manually enter orders
