Olo was founded in 2005 as a text message ordering service and has since grown its platform to service online and mobile ordering for more than 250 restaurant brands at 50,000 locations. <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/09/tiger-global-just-invested-18-million-in-olo-a-low-flying-ordering-platform-for-more-than-50000-fast-casual-restaurants/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ordering-platform-olo-secures-18-million-in-funding-2708836" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Founder and CEO Noah Glass told TechCrunch</a> more than 100 million orders were processed on the platform in 2018, the same amount that had been processed by the platform across the first 12.5 years of the company&rsquo;s existence.

As consumers increasingly demand restaurant food outside of restaurants, investors are responding by providing substantial capital to delivery providers and other tech companies like Olo in the restaurant space.

&ldquo;We have invested heavily in the restaurant technology industry as part of our focus on e-commerce and are very impressed with the work Olo has done to help restaurant brands benefit from digital ordering adoption by acting as their digital interface and technology backbone,&rdquo; <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190109005208/en/Olo-Announces-18M-Investment-Tiger-Global-Management?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=ordering-platform-olo-secures-18-million-in-funding-2708836" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Tiger Global Management partner Scott Shleifer said in a statement</a>. &ldquo;We believe Olo has a long runway ahead.&rdquo;
