Documented cause
Ordermark raised $120M to aggregate third-party delivery orders (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) into a single restaurant tablet and printer. Co-founder Alex Canter sold the business to Lunchbox in 2021. However Lunchbox's acquisition was underpowered and Ordermark's core product became obsolete as POS systems like Toast natively integrated delivery aggregation. Revenues declined sharply through 2022 and operations wound down by 2023.
Lesson
