April 2020 newsletter

Hi there,

When we sent the March newsletter, we wanted you to prepare for what could happen. However, we had no idea that some of our worst-case projections would turn out to be true.

Since then, we have been in touch with many customers to help streamline their takeout operations and customer communications. Both are critical in these times. Additionally, our Takeout Call Queue feature has attracted a lot of attention from new restaurateurs - independents and franchisees alike.

We have collected all the learning so far into a few necessary steps that a restaurateur should follow to survive through this crisis. To help you implement those steps, we have also included prior articles on the Takeout Call Queue and the 3-minute Marketing features.
Here are your April updates:
