The story

Founded in 2003 and launched its first website in 2012 to serve small, family-owned Asian restaurants with online ordering at lower commissions than mainstream platforms. The company expanded to a broader restaurant base — 85% of partner restaurants are immigrant-owned — and in 2023 migrated its entire order volume to Stripe Connect, signaling a deliberate move toward a more modern, scalable embedded payments infrastructure. The company has since adopted multiple Stripe products (Payments, Connect, Billing, Radar) to power its platform marketplace model.
