Put on your stretchy pants and feel free to start relaxing because Amazon is about to make it absolutely impossible to stick to your diet!
The huge online retailer has just announced that it plans on partnering with Olo, a popular food ordering service used by tons of restaurants.
How is this different than the Amazon Restaurants service included with Prime, you say? Olo’s clients include several chain restaurants that have yet to offer delivery options.
Guilty pleasures like Chipotle, Applebees, Red Robin, and Jamba Juice will soon be just a click away if all goes well.
“We’re thrilled to work with Amazon to provide Olo’s base of restaurant customers with a new delivery sales channel that drives increased visibility,” Noah Glass, founder & CEO of Olo, said in a press release. “Amazon’s obsession with providing great customer and restaurant experience supports the evolving expectations and behaviors of today’s consumer. We’re excited to connect more of Olo’s restaurant brands with Amazon Restaurants.”
While Amazon Restaurants is already available to Prime members, the ability to choose from a number of chain restaurants is going to be a new feature.
“We are excited to leverage Olo’s digital ordering technology and continue rapidly growing our network of restaurants to give Amazon Prime members more options for fast delivery from their favorite brands,” said Gus Lopez, general manager of Amazon Restaurants. “This integration will enable Amazon Restaurants to onboard new restaurants with ease, as well as quickly add more new choices and delivery options for customers.”
“Our customers love getting ultra-fast delivery of their favorite dishes from Buca Di Beppo through Amazon Restaurants,” said Trish Giordano, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Earl Enterprises. “The integration with Olo will allow us to quickly expand our offering with Amazon Restaurants to even more locations enabling more customers to get our delicious, quality dishes delivered right to their doorstep.”
Not only does Olo work by phone, app, and mobile web, it’s also accessible through all Alexa-enabled devices.
This means you don’t even have to lift a finger to order your next burrito from Chipotle—just ask Alexa to place the order for you!
While Amazon hasn’t released any concrete dates yet, now that the partnership has been announced, this service will probably be added to Prime in the very near future.
