Waitr -- a leader in on-demand food ordering and delivery -- recently joined forces with the franchised full-service restaurant chain, Denny's, to offer more delivery options. Waitr, along with Bite Squad and Delivery Dudes, will deliver from almost 400 Denny’s locations, spanning Florida to Hawaii. The new partnership will also enable guests to order from Denny's new virtual brand, The Burger Den.
"The addition of Denny’s creates yet a new level of convenience for our customers looking for their favorites, especially an early-morning meal," said Carl Grimstad, CEO and Chairman of Waitr. "We have moved up start times for delivery to serve those looking for breakfast and are also staying open longer for the late-night crowd."
