Picnic

Picnic is a US office-lunch marketplace. Employees at client companies order from 50+ partner restaurants, and Picnic batches the orders into one delivery to the office. For restaurants it works as a sales channel: a restaurant applies as a partner, gets set up on the platform with a tablet, and receives orders from corporate clients, including catering orders.
