2025 was a landmark year for Curbit as restaurants across the country embraced its kitchen capacity management platform to meet the demands of the booming digital ordering ecosystem.
With guest expectations at an all‑time high and off‑premise orders dominating industry growth, Curbit’s solutions helped brands streamline operations, deliver orders on time, and ensure consistent — and delightful — “happy handoffs.”
A few key momentum drivers for us in 2025:
Across these partnerships, a few themes emerge:
Restaurants today are judged not just by food quality but by how reliably and precisely orders are delivered. Guests expect on‑time pickups and deliveries, or they churn — and that’s where Curbit’s emphasis on real‑time capacity awareness makes all the difference.
With digital channels driving a large share of revenue, static promise times and manual pacing simply don’t scale. Curbit’s dynamic order orchestration and real‑time guest messaging help brands balance load, reduce wait times, and keep kitchens in their Goldilocks Zone — not overwhelmed, not idle, but just right for consistent throughput.
Faster throughput isn’t just a back‑of‑house metric. It directly powers happier guests, better reviews, and stronger brand loyalty — especially as delivery becomes the dominant growth channel for many chains.
