Deliverect acquires ordering kiosk brand Tabesto

Hospitality tech company Deliverect has acquired Tabesto, which produces an all-in-one restaurant and fast-food ordering and payment kiosk.

 

Restaurant operators who use Deliverect to manage their online orders will now be able to deploy Tabesto’s smart ordering and payment software technology in-store as part of an integrated system.

 

As part of the acquisition, Deliverect will gain 60 new employees, with Guillaume Hourmant, Tabesto CEO and co-founder, acting as head of Deliverect Kiosk, where he will be responsible for ongoing product strategy.

 

Tabesto will become Deliverect’s product and Deliverect Kiosk will be available in the UK, France, Switzerland Benelux, and Spain, with plans to expand further into Europe and other regions in the following months and globally over the course of the next year.

 

The order terminals are designed to streamline the order-taking process and reduce queues, as well as offering restaurants secure and efficient payment options.

 

Tabesto kiosks are customisable, can integrate with existing suppliers and are adaptable to any restaurant and point of sale system. Users can publish kiosk menus alongside all other digital menus from a single screen.

 

Zhong Xu, Deliverect CEO and co-founder, said: “The acquisition of Tabesto enables us to further support both on- and off-premise ordering experience, allowing restaurants to manage their menus and operations centrally across all their digital channels. We remain committed to this goal, exploring options to further expand the coverage of Deliverect into other regions organically as well through mergers and acquisitions, and are thrilled to have Tabesto’s technology and brilliant team join Deliverect in this mission.”

 

Tabesto’s Hourmant added: “This acquisition allows both of our companies to amplify our shared mission to transform the restaurant industry through digital solutions. By integrating our all-in-one ordering and payment kiosks with Deliverect’s extensive software as a service ecosystem, we can help more restaurants worldwide embrace the power of digitisation, driving efficiency and elevating the dining experience.”

 

Last year, Deliverect also acquired ChatFood, an e-commerce platform for the F&B sector, which enabled ordering via social media.
