Orderlion

Orderlion is ordering software for food and beverage wholesalers and distributors. It gives their customers, including restaurants and caterers, a branded ordering app and web shop, and gathers orders from email, WhatsApp and voicemail with an AI inbox, then passes them to the wholesaler's ERP. It is sold to the wholesaler, not to the restaurant.
