OrderYOYO acquires App4
Today October 18, OrderYOYO has signed and closed the agreement to acquire UK-based online and kiosk ordering company App4.
Founded in 2014 in Derby (UK), App4 is a strong market participant in the UK and Irish online and kiosk ordering space with a leading position within the smaller restaurant chain segment (chains with 3-25 outlets) generating more than DKK 250m in annualized GMV (September 2024). OrderYOYO will acquire App4 in an all cash transaction for DKK 54m in consideration.
With this acquisition, OrderYOYO will enter the smaller chain segment of the QSR industry. OrderYOYO has investigated the entry and tested the chain part of the industry for some time, and with the acquisition of App4, entry into this segment can be accelerated and executed with a clear and strong market position from the outset.
App4 shares the same vision of liberating restaurants as OrderYOYO. It is a strong strategic match that will reinforce OrderYOYO’s market leading position in UK and Ireland and will establish OrderYOYO as a leader in the small chain QSR segment.
In addition, App4’s product portfolio includes a self-serving Kiosk product offering – a product offering OrderYOYO will include in its overall product suite to its Restaurant Partners, adding to already offered products like POS, RDS and Growth Marketing – further broadening the software suite to digitalize the Front of House for our Restaurant Partners.
OrderYOYO’s suite strategy has been successful in driving increased ARR from our Restaurant Partners and increasing stickiness of our customer base. Data shows that customer retention rates are significantly enhanced once a Restaurant Partner deploys more than one of OrderYOYO’s products, underpinning the importance of the Front of House Software Suite strategy. More than 50% of the total customer base currently deploys more than one product and the upselling of other products in the suite is a strategic initiative for OrderYOYO in the coming years.
App4 will join the OrderYOYO organization and App4 founder, Ian Chandler, will take on the role of VP Product focusing on expanding OrderYOYO’s presence with small chains and driving the upsell of kiosk products.
The acquisition is another good example of OrderYOYO’s acquisition strategy contributing to continued growth and shareholder value creation. App4 will drive further economies of scale in our business, leading to increased profitability for the Group in the future.
As European market leader, OrderYOYO keep seeing increased consolidation opportunities in its markets. The consolidation strategy focuses on two types of acquisition targets:
- Local market leaders in European countries where OrderYOYO is currently not present to expand the European market leading position, and
- Local participants in the markets where OrderYOYO is already market leader to drive economies of scale and increased profitability for the Group
