Iconic quick-serve restaurant chain Subway recently joined forces with Olo to launch a digital ordering system. The strategic new partnership will now allow Subway’s network of over 20,000 U.S. restaurants to seamlessly handle digital orders from third-party marketplaces such as Uber Eats, Skip The Dishes, and Ritual -- to name a few.
As noted by Marty Hahnfeld, the Chief Customer Officer of Olo, “We’re thrilled to partner with Subway in a time when establishing a common digital ordering layer has become crucial for restaurant excellence. Our experience in complex enterprise environments and menu synchronization has helped to make this digital integration a success.”
