A first in the online food ordering industry.</li><li>We’re increasing the rollout of the handheld Point of Sale device. We launched this handheld device for order management at the end of March.</li><li>With the introduction of the self-onboarding, we’re expanding to a multi-channel onboarding process.

What else did we do in April?<ul><li>Published an A/B test researching the charge of a service fee for customers.</li><li>We created a Meta Ads campaign targeting new regions to gain info on popular local restaurants. This is to aid our Sales Team in the current expansion within the Netherlands.</li><li>Published in depth content for a selected number of merchants.
