Perk Labs Inc CEO Jonathan Hoyles said its digital dine-in solutions were well received at the Restaurant Canada Show.
“We were thrilled to showcase the power and efficiency of our digital dine-in solution and comprehensiveness of our custom branded app offering to restaurant owners and chains from across Canada at the RC Show,” Hoyles said in a statement.
“The high level of interest we received from chains, both large and small, confirms the demand in the marketplace for both QR code-based ordering and custom branded apps.”

The RC Show is Canada’s leading annual food service and hospitality event, showcasing cutting-edge products, pioneering people and transformative ideas, the company said.
Going forward, Perk Labs expects to be busy with demonstrations and meetings, he added.
“As we emerge from the pandemic and consumers begin to dine out more often, we expect more and more restaurants to invest in technology to increase their efficiency and directly connect and engage with their customers,” Hoyles said. “Over the coming weeks, we expect our team to be busy with a full slate of demonstrations and meetings as we follow up on prospective sales generated from our exhibition at the RC Show.”
Inks letter of intent
Additionally, Perk announced that on May 5 the company entered into a letter of intent to trial its digital dine-in solution with a restaurant group that owns several prominent brands with a combined 122 restaurant locations across Canada.
“Signing this letter of intent signifies the demand from enterprise and chain locations for our digital dine-in ordering and payment solution,” interim vice president of sales Justin Strange said. “Our digital product will help solve the crippling labour shortage and the skyrocketing inflation, on top of the standard challenges the restaurant industry is currently facing,”
Over the past several weeks, Perk has worked to polish the look and flow of its digital dine-in product, Strange said.
“We are now better positioned to exceed the expectations of our prospective customers and franchisees as we embark on our results-driven sales campaign, ‘Restaurant Rescue,'" he added. “It is our intention to rapidly pursue restaurants and restaurant chains, large and small, to take advantage of the incredible speed and cost savings provided by our product.”
The company also announced the signing and launch of its Digital Dine-in solution at the House of Dosas, one of Vancouver's most popular South Indian restaurants. House of Dosas was previously a client of the Sunday App, a competitor that also provides QR code ordering and payment services for restaurants, according to a statement.
