Just Eat Leverages Flypay to Help Restaurant Chains Optimize Tech
Just Eat, a well-known takeout order giant, has put their faith in the UK based startup Flypay.
Flypay has done the job of building a platform to help restaurant and pub chains better utilize their technology solutions.
The round ended in 3.5 million pounds and is a continuance of the previous Series A that resulted in 7 million pounds led by media brand TimeOut.
“For hospitality operators, our new Flyt platform aims to make it significantly easier to innovate around digital commerce, both in terms of integrating technologies across the customer journey… into their own apps, as well as connecting into the biggest aggregator apps and other platforms, such as messaging, voice commerce and who-knows-what’s-next,” Flypay founder and CEO Tom Weaver commented.
“Our customers are mainstream casual dining and pubs brands. We currently work with clients like Wahaca, GBK, Jamie’s Italian, Fuller’s, Chilango, and many others. We’ve just signed one of the most popular restaurant brands in the U.K., to be announced shortly, to create some uniquely different experiences,” he continued.
The two companies claim to collaborate in terms of digital experience for operators throughout the causal dining industry. As a result, Flypay will introduce delivery to the restaurant’s apps, which are powered by Flyt. That however is only the tip of the iceberg.
Says David Buttress, CEO of Just Eat, added: “Investing in Flypay will enable us to continue to build a seamless experience for consumers who will be able to order, pay, receive customer care and book delivery through the same product. The technology will help us to enhance our offer to casual dining restaurant chains, enabling them to fulfil delivery using Just Eat. The Flyt platform has the potential to transform the digital journey in the casual dining space and we see huge potential in this technology.”
