OpenRest (founded 2011) is a software company that provides restaurant owners with online ordering websites, mobile websites and native mobile apps branded on the restaurant.[citation needed] In total, as of July 2014, more than 1,000 restaurants power their online ordering systems with OpenRest worldwide.[citation needed] based in Delaware, with research and development offices in Tel Aviv.[citation needed]

Background

OpenRest was founded in 2011 by Danny Leshem and Yoav Amit.[1]

In June 2013, OpenRest and RestCloud announced a collaboration to integrate with the cloud based POS messaging solution for restaurants.[2]

In late 2013, OpenRest partnered with Bits of Gold to be the first restaurant online ordering system to provide bitcoin payments to all its clients.[3][4] In July 2014, OpenRest integrated with BitPay to expand its bitcoin payment offering.

OpenRest was acquired by Wix.com in October 2014.[1]
