About Olo: Leading hospitality digital experience platform

Olo is a leading hospitality SaaS platform serving over 700 restaurant brands across approximately 80,000 locations. The platform helps restaurants build digital ordering, payment, and engagement experiences through a flexible ecosystem of more than 300 partners. Olo reaches 85 million connected guests and processes over two million orders per day on average.

The Problem: Scaling diverse mobile payment methods

As restaurants expand their digital ordering capabilities, offering seamless payment experiences becomes increasingly complex. Guests expect convenience, including the ability to pay with mobile wallets or third-party checkout options like PayPal and Venmo. For Olo, enabling these capabilities across hundreds of restaurant brands with varied payment processing relationships presented a significant challenge. The team needed a solution that would allow them to deliver rich guest experiences without getting bogged down in complex payment integrations.

The Solution: Enabling flexible wallet integrations via orchestration

Olo selected Spreedly as their platform to enable mobile wallet transactions and third-party payment options for their restaurant customers. Spreedly’s open payments platform allowed Olo to integrate diverse payment methods quickly and securely while remaining flexible across multiple payment processing relationships. This integration lets Olo focus on enhancing their restaurant brands’ digital capabilities rather than managing the underlying payment infrastructure.

The Results: Faster innovation and seamless guest checkouts

By leveraging Spreedly, Olo can provide seamless mobile wallet and third-party checkout experiences for millions of guests daily. Restaurant brands benefit from a simplified integration process, improved guest satisfaction, and access to multiple payment options tailored to their needs. Olo’s payments team can now dedicate their efforts to developing new payment capabilities and innovating the guest experience rather than spending time on complex integrations.

The partnership also reinforces Olo’s position as a leader in restaurant technology, setting a new standard for seamless digital ordering and payment experiences. According to Tor Opedal, SVP & GM of Payments at Olo, the integration allows mutual customers to “benefit from diverse payment methods tailored to their unique needs while enabling my team to focus on building new payment capabilities for our restaurant brands.”
