Firebirds Wood Fired Grill has launched Flybuy Pickup to power its takeout and delivery business in each of its 55 locations in 20 states. Flybuy Pickup is a product within the Radius Networks Flybuy Platform that is leveraged by Fortune 500 businesses worldwide for in-store, curbside, and drive-thru pickup optimization. Firebirds continues to have a booming off-premise business, with an abundance of takeout and delivery traffic in its lobby during peak hours. The restaurant chose Flybuy to create a curbside solution that improves guests’ off-premise experience and streamlines delivery operations.

Flybuy and Future Ordering teamed up to create a frictionless pickup experience for Max Burgers, driving repeat visits and increased order volume.

The 180+ burger chain across Europe that originated in Sweden, rolled out Flybuy, an enterprise location technology platform, and Future Ordering’s digital ordering platform for food and beverage.
