Perk Labs Inc, which is helping restaurants transition to the digital economy through its Perk Hero platform, revealed that it signed an agreement with restaurant chain Deer Garden Signatures to provide them with Perk's new online ordering services and a letter of intent with bubble tea chain, Chun Fun How, to develop a custom branded app.
"We're beyond pleased that Deer Garden Signatures has chosen Perk as its online ordering partner," Perk interim vice president of sales Justin Strange said in a statement. "Perk's new online ordering feature is an easy-to-launch ordering solution that provides everything restaurants need to quickly start accepting pickup and delivery orders through their existing website."
Strange noted that consumer “demand for order ahead and curbside pickup is here to stay,” and brands that maximize efficiency will gain “a significant competitive edge.”

“As consumer behaviors continue to evolve towards the adoption of digital technology at a record pace, a consumer-friendly, direct digital ordering platform combined with a mobile payment and loyalty solution will be critical for restaurant brands to meet the ever-evolving needs of guests,” added Strange. “We are excited to enhance efficiencies for restaurants and provide consumers with an overall better experience."
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company said that with its online ordering feature, restaurants can simply add an order button to their existing website and immediately begin offering their customers pick-up and self-managed delivery ordering and mobile payment options.
Orders can be accepted through Perk's merchant application, and restaurant operators can utilize Perk's merchant web portal to manage their digital menu and access sophisticated reporting, data analytics and promotions capabilities. Perk's new online ordering feature works seamlessly with all major web platforms including Shopify (TSX:SH., NYSE:SHOP), Wix, Wordpress, and others, said the company.
Separately, Perk also said that it signed an agreement with Chun Fun How to build them an app. Perk's custom branded apps are built on the Perk Hero platform and leverage its downloadable merchant app, merchant web portal, and powerful features such as mobile ordering, contactless payment, digital wallets, and loyalty.
"We're thrilled to have great new chain partners like Deer Garden Signature and Chun Fun How," said Perk CEO Jonathan Hoyles. "With the new POS integrations we are working on, our scope of services and value proposition is better than ever. We now offer restaurants a suite of customized services, including Digital Dine-in, custom branded apps, online ordering, and digital loyalty.”
Hoyles said the company has been fine-tuning its offering in its local market and adding more enterprise-level features as it pursue larger chains.
“In pursuing this strategy, we believe this could lead to significant growth for Perk in the future. We believe the flexibility and quality of the Perk platform will enable both our restaurant and franchisee partners to thrive and place Perk on the path to growth and profitability," Hoyles concluded.
