“Having developed and brought to market the best digital ordering platform for both independent and enterprise chains, Paytronix is positioned for exceptional growth and I’m excited to focus my skills on quickly accelerating that growth,” said Gray. “It’s a platform I believe will become the go-to solution for all restaurants. Brands today need the best technology to connect with guests no matter how they engage in the dining experience. The amazing set of products and people here will continue to help clients drive even more revenue through high-impact engagement and ordering solutions.”
