Dine Brands further extends Flybuy partnership to include delivery optimization for virtual brands.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dine Brands Global, Inc., one of the world's largest full-service dining companies, is currently utilizing the Radius Networks Flybuy Platform at all 2,800 Applebee's and IHOP locations for a faster curbside and in-store pickup handoff. Today, they announce that they have extended their partnership to include the Flybuy pickup and delivery optimization platform for their virtual brands Cosmic Wings from Applebee's and Super Mega Dilla and Thrilled Cheese from IHOP.
Both Applebee's and IHOP will leverage Flybuy Pickup's delivery integrations directly with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and others. This will consolidate their off-premise guest orders with virtual brands orders, making order fulfillment efficient for restaurant team members, the team member-to-driver hand-off faster and a better experience for delivery drivers and guests.
All orders are placed through the virtual brand's website or through a delivery service provider's marketplace for delivery. Flybuy will then communicate to the fulfilling restaurant with a delivery driver's ETA and an approaching and arriving state, creating labor efficiency, fresh food, and a fast hand off. All off-premise orders will be visible from the Flybuy Dashboard, which enables team members to fulfill all of their off-premise orders in an efficient manner while creating a "perfect handoff" to delivery drivers and a faster, fresher guest experience.
"Applebee's and IHOP are already leveraging Flybuy Pickup to help create a seamless customer and staff experience for their curbside and in-store pickup orders," said Jeff Baskin, Chief Business Officer at Radius Networks. "Order accuracy, speed, and convenience are key to high customer satisfaction. The extension to support virtual brands provides complete visibility to all off-premises orders, all in one place. Team members can now manage and fulfill pickup and delivery orders with the same accuracy and speed, which is a win-win for everyone involved: the staff, delivery drivers, and especially the guest."
"The ability for our team members to fulfill all orders -- whether it is Applebee's, IHOP, or one of our virtual brands -- all from one platform provides a seamless and efficient process for how each order is fulfilled and delivered for our guests," says Jessica Jackson, Director of Strategy and Innovation at Dine Brands Global, Inc. "This integration provides a frictionless delivery solution that increases optional efficiencies for team members, reduces wait times for delivery drivers, and provides a better experience and that's what we are really focused on – evolving and improving how our guests enjoy our brands."
