Round Table Pizza Selects Onosys As Brand-Wide Digital Ordering Platform
Round Table Pizza's increasing focus on providing quality online
ordering experiences was further demonstrated today when it announced
the selection of Onosys as its brand-wide digital ordering platform.
Online ordering has been growing in popularity, particularly in the
pizza category, and Round Table Pizza has seen a double-digit growth in
online sales for each of the last five years, as time-starved customers
seek the convenience of digital ordering methods. With 290 of the
chain's restaurants already serving guests via the Onosys platform, the
decision today will result in the conversion of all the remaining 160
locations to Onosys for a consistent, single online solution.
Round Table Pizza reached this decision after conducting a thorough
review of 12 different ordering providers. At one point, the chain had
three different digital ordering platforms in use, each with a different
style of user interface and customer experience. "We evaluated each of
the 12 providers on a variety of technical criteria," said Andrew Kohn,
Director of Business Technology for the company. "But ultimately it
boiled down to which platform was best suited to the technology of pizza
ordering, and which one would provide the best brand experience to our
guests. That was Onosys."
Pizza is arguably the most complex food to order online, given the
number of toppings, crust types, sauces and other customization options,
and Round Table Pizza offers a wide variety of these options. In
addition, the chain's vast franchise system offers a multitude of coupon
offers and promoions that can vary by location, and can be redeemed
online. "Our very first client was a pizza chain, so we built the Onosys
platform from the beginning to handle the complexities of pizza
ordering," said Rob Taylor, Onosys CEO. Since its inception, Onosys has
processed nearly $1 billion in total online food sales for clients that
include Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill and Boston Pizza.
The Onosys consolidation is another demonstration of Round Table Pizza's
commitment to digital initiatives. The company is currently working
closely with Onosys and other resources on enhancing its
RoundTablePizza.com website, and has significantly increased its social
media presence to provide more ways to engage with guests online,
particularly via mobile platforms. "The phrase 'mobile first' is a
mantra around here," says Tom Guilford, Vice President of Information
Services. "That's increasingly where guests are interacting with and
ordering from us, and we want them to be able to do so quickly and
easily."
