COVID-19 Update On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, impacting communities in the United States and across the world. Responses to the outbreak continue to develop, as consequences have affected communities and economies across the world. State mandated lockdowns adversely impacted many restaurants, as public health regulations transformed or even halted daily operations. In order to stay in business, restaurants were forced to more aggressively adopt digital solutions to provide on-demand services, off-premise dining, and delivery solutions for consumers, if they were not already. Although we are optimistic that the emphasis on on-demand digital commerce in the food services industry will be an enduring trend, we do not have certainty on the long-term impact these developments will have on the industry. The degree of the pandemic’s effect on our restaurant partners across the food services industry will depend on many factors, particularly on government regulations and their impact on the financial viability of restaurant operations as well as the duration of the pandemic. We will continue to monitor these developments and their implications on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In the absence of updated industry sources giving effect to the market shifts precipitated by COVID-19, we have included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K select market research that was published prior to the COVID-19 outbreak and without considerations for its potential effects. Refer to “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our business. • Impact on Our Operations In March 2020, in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations, we closed our offices in New York, and transitioned our employees to work-from-home and efficiently adapted our operations to a remote working environment. In addition, we were able to operate without terminating or furloughing our employees. As the pandemic continued, we grew our employee base to scale the business in order to meet the increased customer demands we were facing, and we have since adopted a policy permitting all of our employees to elect whether to work remotely or from the office. We believe that we are well equipped to support full remote work without disruption to our business. We continue to monitor updates and consider regulatory guidance for reopening office locations. • Impact on Our Customers As many restaurants faced on-premise dining restrictions, our customers needed to transition and adapt their businesses quickly. We focused on optimizing the deployment process for our new customers and offered adaptive solutions to help them navigate through this challenging business environment. We engaged with our customers to collaborate on implementing the most relevant short- and long-term solutions and we re- prioritized our strategic roadmap to address the most important solutions for our customers, including enhancements to our curbside pick-up functionality and on-premise solutions and enabling virtual brand adoption at customer locations to allow restaurants to increase operational efficiency. We further enhanced our platform capabilities for curb-side pickup by adding kiosk ordering solutions and additional ecosystem partners so restaurants could more efficiently manage orders, and we enhanced on-premise solutions by enabling quick response codes, or QR codes. • Impact on Our Financials Our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 , 2020 , and 2019 increased by 51.8% , 94.2% , and 59.4%, respectively . While many restaurants have been struggling during this period, we have been uniquely positioned to expand our footprint and help support the restaurant industry when it was most in need. See “Components of Results of Operations - Revenue” included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our business.
