What it is
Olo Dispatch automatically pairs orders from a restaurant’s website or app with third-party couriers, reducing the need to operate a courier fleet. It offers same-hour delivery through more than 27 delivery service providers, and Olo says 96% of its customers’ restaurants have at least two providers available. Restaurants can choose provider delivery or self-delivery, set fee limits and maximum transit times, and use automated delivery rescues and refunds. Provider selection can consider price, timing, availability, and other criteria, including the restaurant’s own couriers. Guests receive a branded delivery experience through direct ordering, with Uber Direct integrated for requests from restaurant websites and apps. Direct delivery can build a guest database for personalization, marketing campaigns, and business decisions. Olo lists integrations with more than 450 technology partners. Dispatch supports Android, iOS, and web, and Olo provides Help Center and Support resources. A Dispatch agreement is required before use.
