We have built web landing pages for table reservations, online ordering, and gift cards as well as our internal ops portal which is used to manage our marketing automation platform and third party integrations like Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat. We expect to rapidly iterate on what we have built, and try to use data about performance, conversion and consumer reaction to inform the product roadmap.
