Chekt

Redefining retail order pickup

The majority of restaurants in the US and abroad experience high volumes of pickup orders, usually 50% or more, and of those a large share from order aggregators like Grubhub, Doordash, Postmate to name a few. The ideal pickup experience must be ultra fast with zero error, and in an age of heightened risk of spreading germs, non-contact.
