Mutual customers of Yext and Olo will now be able to deliver accurate, up-to-date menu information online, so that hungry customers get the right information before they place an order. Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. is among the brands currently leveraging the integration.
“Consumers are increasingly asking search engines complex questions about restaurants and their menu items, and this is especially true during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Lee Zucker, Head of Industry for Food Services and Hospitality at Yext. “Our new integration with Olo puts restaurants in an even better position to serve consumers when they need them most.”
