The New Era of Restaurant Technology

In today's fast-paced restaurant industry, technology and loyalty programs are no longer optional—they're essential. As former Robinhood and Deloitte leaders, we've seen firsthand how technology can reshape entire industries. For franchises, leveraging the right technology can mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

At OPA!, we understand that the modern restaurant needs more than just a point-of-sale system. It demands an integrated tech stack that maximizes efficiency and enhances customer loyalty. Our commission-free marketplace is designed to complement your existing technology, giving franchise operators a competitive edge without the burdensome fees associated with third-party marketplaces.

The OPA! Advantage: Zero Commission, Full Ownership

Third-party delivery can be a double-edged sword, adding convenience but often at a steep cost. At OPA!, we offer a different approach—one where you retain full ownership of your sales data and benefit from zero commission. This means more of your revenue stays where it belongs: in your business.

With OPA!, franchise owners can expect to save an average of $375 million in projected fees, a figure that can make a substantial difference in your bottom line. This saving allows operators to reinvest in other critical areas like staff training, menu innovation, and customer experience enhancements.

Enhancing Loyalty Through Integrated Solutions

Loyalty programs are a proven strategy to increase repeat business and customer retention. OPA!'s platform integrates seamlessly with leading POS systems like Toast, Square, and Clover, as well as with five integrated loyalty partners. This integration ensures a smooth flow of data and a cohesive customer experience.

Our case study shows that one re-engagement campaign can generate as much as $140,000 in incremental revenue in just 90 days. By consolidating your loyalty and sales data, OPA! provides actionable insights that help you craft targeted promotions and build lasting customer relationships.

"By eliminating commission fees, OPA! empowers franchises to capture more value with every order."
