Overview

Olo provides the leading cloud-based e-commerce platform for multi-location restaurant brands.

Our platform powers restaurant brands’ e-commerce operations, enabling restaurants’ digital ordering and delivery, while preserving their direct consumer relationships. Consumers today expect more on-demand convenience and personalization from restaurants, particularly through digital channels, but many restaurants lack the in-house infrastructure and expertise to satisfy this explosive demand in a cost-effective manner. We provide restaurants with a business-to-business-to-consumer, enterprise-grade SaaS platform to manage their complex digital businesses and enable fast and more personalized experiences. Our platform and application programming interfaces, or APIs, seamlessly integrate with a wide range of solutions, unifying disparate technologies across the restaurant ecosystem. Restaurant brands rely on Olo to increase their digital and in-store sales, maximize profitability, establish and maintain direct consumer relationships, and collect, protect, and leverage valuable consumer data. As a result, we nearly doubled the gross merchandise value, or GMV, running through our platform in each of the last five years and reached nearly $4.6 billion in GMV during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The $1.6 trillion food industry is one of the largest consumer markets in the United States. According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurants accounted for $863 billion of that spend in 2019, recently surpassing grocery in aggregate consumer spending. Restaurant spend is expected to grow rapidly to $1.2 trillion by 2030. Growing consumer demand for convenience has made off-premise consumption, which includes take-out, drive-thru, and delivery orders, the single largest contributor to restaurant industry growth. Off-premise consumption accounted for 63% of restaurant orders in 2019, and is expected to contribute 70% to 80% of total restaurant industry growth in the next five years, according to the National Restaurant Association. Meanwhile, delivery is still nascent and accounted for only approximately 3% of total restaurant orders in 2019. As consumers have become accustomed to the immediate convenience of e-commerce, they are demanding the same digital experience from restaurants, placing significant pressure on restaurants to deploy solutions to remain competitive.

Restaurants are an incredibly complex segment of the retail industry, making their shift to e-commerce especially challenging. The four walls of the restaurant uniquely serve as both the factory and showroom floor: restaurant operators must manage the intricacies of food production and customer service simultaneously while providing the high-quality, consistency, and hospitality that engenders consumer loyalty and trust. Furthermore, restaurants serve food that is perishable, has near infinite configurations, and must be made to order for just-in-time consumption. Most restaurant brands do not have the expertise or the resources to develop homegrown solutions to manage e-commerce

and are more acutely challenged because their in-store technology is comprised of a fragmented set of legacy solutions, many of which were developed before the internet. At the same time, restaurant delivery marketplaces, or marketplaces, have catalyzed digital demand, but can pose new challenges for restaurant brands through increased complexity, lower long-term profitability, and a disintermediation of the restaurant’s direct relationship with the consumer. Additionally, restaurants face increasing economic pressure with an intensely competitive landscape and rising labor and occupancy costs. Due to its unique complexities and challenges, the restaurant industry has historically been one of the lowest penetrated e-commerce segments of the retail industry, with digital sales accounting for less than 10% of sales, according to a report published by Cowen Equity Research in 2019.

Our platform is purpose built to meet these complex needs and align with the interests of the restaurant industry. For over 10 years, we have developed our platform in collaboration with many of the leading restaurant brands in the United States. We believe our platform is the only independent SaaS platform for restaurants to provide seamless digital ordering and efficient delivery enablement, offering centralized management of a restaurant’s entire digital business. Our platform includes the following core modules:

 

   

Ordering. A fully-integrated, white-label e-commerce solution, enabling consumers to order directly from and pay restaurants via mobile, web, kiosk, voice, and other digital channels.

 

   

Dispatch. A fulfillment solution, enabling restaurants to offer, manage and expand direct delivery while optimizing price, timing, and service quality.

 

   

Rails. A marketplace and channel management, allowing restaurants to control and syndicate menu, pricing, location data, and availability, while directly integrating and optimizing orders from third-parties into the restaurants’ point-of-sale, or POS, systems.

Leading restaurant brands trust Olo’s enterprise-grade platform for its reliability, security, scalability, and interoperability. Our platform currently handles over 600,000 orders per day and we have invested in our infrastructure in order to ensure it can handle many times that figure. Additionally, both internal and external security experts frequently test our system for vulnerabilities. We have never experienced a material breach of customer or consumer data. Our platform integrates with over 100 restaurant technology solutions including POS systems, marketplaces, delivery service providers, or DSPs, payment processors, user experience, or UX, and user interface, or UI, providers, and loyalty programs.

We are the exclusive direct digital ordering provider for leading brands across all service models of the restaurant industry, including quick service, fast casual, casual, family, and snack food. Our customers include major publicly traded and marquee private restaurant brands such as                 ,                 ,                 , and                 . As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 300 brand customers representing over 42,000 locations using our platform. Our average initial contract length is three years with a one year auto-renewal period, providing visibility into our future financial performance. Our enterprise brands, meaning those brands having 50 or more locations, are also highly loyal. Over the last five years, on average nearly 99% of our enterprise brand customers have continued using our Ordering module each year. Our customers and the success they have had increasing their digital sales volumes are the best reflection of the value of our platform. For example, our customers’ digital same-store sales increased 44% for the month ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the month ended December 31, 2018.

We have a highly efficient go-to-market model driven by our industry thought leadership, partnership approach with our restaurant customers, and experienced enterprise sales and deployment teams. Unlike other enterprise software businesses, where the sales team works to add a single location or division and expand to others, we enter into relationships at the brand’s corporate level and secure exclusivity across all company-owned and franchise locations. This enables us to deploy our modules across all new and existing brand locations without any additional sales costs, and upsell new offerings to the brand itself, rather than each individual location. As of December 31, 2019, 44% of our customers used all three of our modules, providing a substantial opportunity to upsell our existing customer base.

We refer to our business model as a transactional SaaS model as it includes both subscription and transaction-based revenue streams, and we designed it to align with our customers’ success. Our model allows our customers to forego the cost of building, maintaining, and securing their own digital ordering and delivery platforms and to retain direct relationships with their consumers while maximizing profitability. Our hybrid-pricing model provides us with a predictable revenue stream and enables us to further grow our revenue as our customers increase their digital order volume. We generate subscription revenue from our Ordering module and transaction revenue from our Rails and Dispatch modules. We charge our customers a fixed monthly subscription fee per restaurant location for access to our Ordering module. In addition, a growing portion of our customers purchase an allotment of monthly orders for a fixed monthly fee and pay us an additional fee for each excess order, which we also consider to be subscription revenue. Our transaction revenue includes revenue generated from our Rails and Dispatch modules. Customers who subscribe to our Rails and Dispatch modules pay a fee on a per transaction basis. In most cases, we also charge marketplaces, channel partners, and other service providers in our ecosystem on a per transaction basis for access to our Rails and Dispatch modules. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, 93.2% and     % of our platform revenue was subscription revenue and 6.8% and     % was transaction revenue, respectively.

Our business has experienced rapid growth in a highly capital efficient manner. Since inception 15 years ago, we have raised less than $50.0 million of primary investment capital, net of share repurchases. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we generated revenue of $31.8 million and $                 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of     %. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we generated gross profit of $21.0 million and $                 million, respectively, or 66.0% and     % as a percentage of revenue, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we incurred net losses of $11.6 million and $                 million, respectively and our operating loss was $8.8 million and $                 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, our non-GAAP operating loss was $4.6 million and $                 million, respectively. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information on our non-GAAP metrics.

Industry Background

There are a number of important industry trends driving our market opportunity.

 

   

Shifting consumer behavior towards on-demand and e-commerce convenience. In today’s on-demand economy, consumers expect goods and services to be easily ordered through digital means. According to a 2019 Salesforce.com, Inc. publication, 66% of all consumers cite instant and on-demand fulfillment of purchases as important and approximately 50% say that they will switch brands if a company does not proactively anticipate their needs. We believe these trends will continue to accelerate in the restaurant industry in particular as advances in technology allow restaurants to further reduce friction in digital ordering and fulfillment to further satisfy consumers’ new engagement preferences.

Table of Contents
   

The restaurant industry is massive and rapidly expanding. The $863 billion restaurant industry is undergoing a dynamic transformation, having just surpassed grocery in aggregate consumer spending for the first time in history. According to the National Restaurant Association, the restaurant industry’s share of the dollars spent on food increased from 25% in 1955 to 51% in 2019. The National Restaurant Association also projects that the restaurant industry will grow to $1.2 trillion by 2030. As the market expands and consumers utilize restaurants more frequently, we expect consumers will continue to demand more convenience and personalization from restaurants.

 

   

Off-premise dining is the main engine of restaurant growth, with pickup continuing to lead. Off-premise dining has continued to grow rapidly, accounting for 63% of U.S. restaurant transactions in 2019, and it is expected to contribute 70 to 80% of total restaurant industry growth in the next five years according to the National Restaurant Association. While off-premise consumption is growing rapidly, only approximately 3% of total restaurant orders were fulfilled through delivery in 2018, and 39% and 21% being attributed to take-out and drive-thru, respectively. As consumer behavior continues to shift towards on-demand convenience, off-premise is expected to capture an even larger portion of restaurant spend and drive industry growth. As a result of this growth, 78% of restaurant operators identify off-premise solutions as a strategic priority, according to the State of the Industry Report published by the National Restaurant Association in 2019.

 

   

Digital restaurant ordering is experiencing rapid growth in a shifting landscape. Both direct and indirect digital ordering channels are powering this expansion. Marketplaces created consumer applications to meet the growing demand for convenient restaurant food, helping expand off-premise dining. In addition, major consumer facing platforms are embedding food ordering into products such as maps and search results, making it even more convenient for consumers to place orders from their favorite restaurant brands. These channels are expected to drive the expansion of the restaurant digital ordering market from $             billion in 2019 to $             billion by 2025, according to industry research.

 

   

Restaurants are facing complex challenges and are under significant economic pressure. The restaurant landscape is becoming increasingly dynamic with competition coming from existing restaurant brands and new restaurant brands that frequently have sophisticated digital, marketing, ordering, and distribution strategies. As a result, it is difficult for some restaurants to attract and retain loyal consumers. Restaurant brands are simultaneously facing rising costs, including labor and occupancy costs, while at the same time increasingly sharing their revenue with marketplaces. This dynamic creates urgency for restaurants to adopt cost-effective digital solutions in order to drive margin expansion and incremental sales.

 

   

Restaurant brands must evolve to own digital relationships with their consumers. Like any other retailer, understanding and owning the consumer relationship is vital to restaurants as it allows them to better analyze interactions, customize offerings, and maximize the long-term value of their consumers. However, restaurants risk losing direct consumer relationships if they are heavily reliant on marketplaces, which generally do not provide visibility into who is ordering or enable a restaurant to articulate its unique brand value. Consumers also value this direct and personal connectivity with restaurant brands, and we believe consumers would rather interact directly with a brand than through an intermediary.

E-commerce has substantial opportunity to expand penetration in the restaurant industry. The $863 billion restaurant market in the United States continues to be one of the most underpenetrated in terms of e-commerce at less than 10% of industry sales, according to research published by Cowen Equity Research, as well as U.S. government data. In comparison, sectors such as books and electronics have digital penetration well over 50%. Restaurants are uniquely positioned to benefit from consumers’ demand for digital convenience, but are limited by significant complexities in the restaurant ecosystem, which have slowed penetration to-date.

Complexities of the Current Ecosystem

  The key complexities that hinder restaurants’ digital transformation progress include:

POS and Technology Integration

 

   

Multiple platforms within a restaurant. Restaurant brands historically have not standardized the type of technology platforms that must be deployed across their locations. This has led to significant differences in the types of technology that restaurants use across a brand and even within a given restaurant location. Many brands have multiple POS systems, payment processors, and now tablets to manage incoming orders across various marketplaces. In addition, many of these technologies have become deeply entrenched into their operations, making them difficult to replace with more modern solutions.

 

   

Disparate integrations across the ecosystem. Many restaurants have adopted the narrow point solutions that restaurants have adopted do not integrate seamlessly with other systems, such as POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UI and UX providers, and loyalty programs. Restaurant location operators often lack the technical expertise and resources necessary to integrate both legacy and modern technologies.

 

   

Static, legacy software infrastructure. Legacy restaurant systems were not built for modern, cloud-based environments. As a result, many lack the reliability, scalability, and security capabilities that today’s SaaS solutions offer, leaving restaurants and their consumer data vulnerable. Furthermore, brands are unable to access their consumer data, as it resides in different systems and databases that cannot communicate with each other.

Food & Menu Management

 

   

Numerous, highly modifiable menu items. Restaurant menus are inherently complex, highly configurable, and frequently updated for changing consumer preferences, out-of-stock ingredients, or product recalls. In addition, restaurants must ensure menus and pricing are always accurately reflected across their various channels to ensure consumers have the latest information and receive the exact food they order, particularly as food allergies, dietary preferences, and other health issues become more prevalent. This has made it challenging for restaurant brands, who are increasingly expected to offer intuitive digital menus where consumers can add, subtract, or modify a wide variety of ingredients or menu items, creating a nearly infinite number of order permutations.

Order Channels

 

   

Multiple ordering channels. Today’s restaurants need to seamlessly manage on-premise and off-premise operations to ensure they provide the optimal experience to all of their

Table of Contents
 

consumers. In-store orders are only one part of the overall operation, as restaurants receive off-premise orders from several different direct and indirect channels, which often require multiple POS systems and tablets at a single location. Food orders can be placed directly through restaurants’ mobile applications or over the phone and indirectly from marketplaces at the same time. Many restaurants are not equipped to balance this on-premise and off-premise dynamic, let alone the direct and indirect channels of ordering.

 

   

Shifting from serial to parallel processing. Restaurants are accustomed to serial order processing, which means that they receive an order from an on-premise consumer and fulfill it accordingly. With the rise of off-premise dining and multiple direct and indirect channels for ordering, restaurants increasingly receive multiple orders simultaneously. Legacy restaurant technology is not properly equipped to centralize and track these orders or help restaurants prioritize orders to ensure high quality fulfillment or to provide accurate estimates of when the food will be ready. Restaurants require modernization to better accommodate parallel processing and streamline their operations.

Operations and Logistics

 

   

Complex, on-demand logistics management. A report published by Cowen Equity Research in 2019 projects that the majority of restaurant growth will come from expanded off-premises dining, which we expect will continue to place significant operational burdens on restaurants. Restaurant staff must prepare food at exactly the right time to ensure optimal quality. Restaurants must adapt locations to better accommodate take-out orders and manage multiple DSPs to ensure consumers get their food reliably at a cost-effective price.

Building a Digital Brand and Owning the Consumer Relationship

 

   

Navigating the shift to digital branding. Many restaurants have spent decades building brand equity with their consumers and securing their loyalty. Meanwhile, consumers themselves are seeking direct engagement with brands through digital channels. However, restaurants lack the tools they need to interact and engage with their consumers across digital channels and to foster those direct relationships.

 

   

Inability to access and leverage consumer data. Establishing direct digital relationships enables restaurants to collect data and learn from consumer interactions, evolve their offerings, and drive increased consumer loyalty. However, restaurants’ legacy technologies generally do not have the capabilities to collect, organize, and analyze these consumer data sets. There are also no major customer relationship management solutions built exclusively for the restaurant industry at scale. As a result, restaurants are forced to collect and integrate data from disparate systems, making it almost impossible to draw impactful, data-driven insights.

 

   

Competition for the direct consumer relationship. As marketplaces have scaled rapidly, they have often disintermediated restaurants’ direct consumer relationships. These marketplaces are digitally savvy and specialists at leveraging data to acquire consumers and extract the long-term value of that relationship. Many restaurants do not have the digital aptitude to stay competitive, and are at risk of losing direct contact with their consumers.

partners and believe that this positions us to be the only party able to unify and enhance the utility of disparate technologies across the industry, including POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UI and UX providers, and loyalty programs.

We believe that our approach to building this two-sided network, comprised of restaurants and technology partners, has given us a valuable position that is deeply embedded within the restaurant industry. We intend to expand our influence and position as we onboard new customer brands, integrate with additional modern or legacy software systems and technology providers, improve our platform’s functionality, develop new modules, and as our restaurant customers increasingly process orders through digital channels.

Key Benefits of Our Platform

Restaurants use our intuitive ordering, delivery, and marketplace enablement platform to streamline restaurant operations and provide a superior consumer experience. Our platform enables restaurants to overcome the complexities of building and growing a digital business, own the overall consumer relationship, and scale, secure, and centralize their e-commerce operations with our enterprise-grade technology. The key benefits of our platform include:

Overcome the Complexities of Restaurant E-Commerce Operations

 

   

Utilize Olo as a centralized source of data. Our restaurant brand customers, many of whom leverage multiple technology providers across locations, can manage menus, including menu-item availability, and day-to-day operations with permission-based administration tools and reporting, utilizing Olo as a centralized source of data. Our platform integrates with over 100 restaurant technology solutions across the restaurant ecosystem. These integrations allow us to streamline order processing and fulfillment, and keep information in sync with a variety of POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UX and UI providers, and loyalty programs.

 

   

Source demand across platforms to optimize yield. Our Rails module aggregates demand across marketplaces, allowing our customers to generate more orders through an intuitive, coordinated system. Our customers are able to monitor and parallel process orders across the various channels and more easily and accurately prioritize and fulfill orders. We also help our restaurant brand customers optimize yield during peak periods by turning off different ordering channels as needed to ensure the highest priority items are fulfilled while maximizing profitability.

 

   

Enable and manage a restaurant’s delivery functions across providers. Our Dispatch module enables restaurants to automatically select the optimal delivery provider for an individual order based on dozens of attributes, such as delivery time, order size or value, cost of delivery, or service level, for each individual order at each individual location. Restaurant brands are able to fulfill orders just-in-time to allow for a better consumer experience at a competitive cost.

Enhance and Own the Consumer Experience

 

   

Own the consumer relationship. Our platform enables restaurants to provide individually branded and direct experiences for their consumers across devices through our web and mobile front-end or via customized consumer experiences using our APIs and third-party

UI and UX providers. This unique consumer experience extends beyond aesthetic and operative functionality to expanded order offerings like upsell, group ordering, and loyalty programs. With Olo, restaurants know their consumers better and can more effectively meet their needs while maximizing e-commerce results.

 

   

Leverage powerful data and analytics to guarantee the highest quality consumer experience. We enable our customers to collect a significant amount of data that they can use to generate valuable insights into their consumers’ ordering behaviors. Restaurant brands and their individual locations can leverage this data to better manage operations, provide consumers with a more personalized experience, and drive incremental sales.

Scale and Secure Operations with Enterprise Grade Technology

 

   

Cloud-native technology ensuring scalability and reliability. Our software infrastructure is cloud-native and highly flexible with the ability to handle large spikes in traffic. Our high-availability, continuously deployed, multi-tenant architecture ensures that all of our restaurants are able to operate with the latest features and the newest innovations without any need to patch or upgrade their software. While our platform currently handles over 600,000 orders per day, we have invested in our infrastructure in order to ensure it can handle significant multiples of that figure.

 

   

Enterprise-grade security. Our customers trust our platform with their most sensitive consumer data and many have run penetration tests on our platform to verify that is has robust security capable of protecting their consumer data. We also employ an in-house security team that constantly monitors the platform, testing for and addressing vulnerabilities.

Our Market Opportunity

We believe our total addressable market opportunity is $11 billion globally based on our current product offerings and focus on enterprise restaurants. To arrive at this figure, we determined the number of enterprise restaurant locations and number of orders that we could generate revenue from on a per location basis. According to a 2019 publication by the NPD Group, there are approximately 300,000 enterprise restaurant locations across the United States. We determined the number of orders per enterprise location, based on industry research, by dividing their total sales by the average order value in the United States. To determine our opportunity per location, we then multiplied the implied number of orders by the percentage of digital orders, and by our actual average fee per order, and then added our actual annual average subscription fee per location as of December 31, 2019 to get the estimated total annual average revenue per restaurant location. This figure was then multiplied by the number of enterprise locations to arrive at the U.S. estimate. We believe our opportunity outside of the United States is at least as large as our domestic opportunity, implying a total global addressable market of $11 billion.

For the $28 billion total addressable market estimate, we assumed that the per order fees increases as we introduce new products and assume an expansion to small and medium business, or SMB, restaurants representing an estimated additional 400,000 restaurant locations.

Our Growth Strategies

We aim to be the leading e-commerce platform for the restaurant industry. The principal components of our growth strategy are:

 

   

Add new large multi-location and high-growth restaurant brands and scale with them. We believe there is a substantial opportunity to continue to grow our customer base within the U.S. restaurant industry, adding to our approximately 300 existing brands across more than 42,000 active locations. We intend to continue to drive new customer growth by leveraging our brand and experience within the industry, and expanding our sales and marketing efforts. We have also historically pursued and will continue to target the most well-capitalized, fastest growing restaurant brands in the industry. As our restaurant brand customers open new locations, we are well-positioned to organically grow our revenue with little to no incremental sales and marketing costs to target additional locations.

 

   

Upsell existing customers additional modules. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 44% of our customers that have deployed our platform used all three of our available modules. We believe that we are well-positioned to upsell our remaining customers, as our modules provide significant value, are simple to add, operate seamlessly together, and improve restaurant brands’ e-commerce capabilities and consumer experience.

 

   

Enable higher transaction volume. We will continue to work with our existing restaurant customers to enable higher transaction volumes at their locations. As e-commerce grows to represent a larger share of total off-premise food consumption, we expect to significantly benefit from this secular trend through increased revenue. As we continue to expand our product offerings and improve our current software, we also believe there is an opportunity to increase our share of the transaction volume that flows through our platform.

 

   

Develop and launch new product offerings. We intend to invest in expanding the functionality of our current platform and broadening capabilities that address new market opportunities, particularly around payments, catering, and data analytics. We believe this strategy will provide new avenues for growth and allow us to continue to deliver differentiated high-value outcomes to both our customers and stockholders.

 

   

Expand our ecosystem. We plan to expand our current ecosystem of developers, user experience designers, and other partners to better support our customers, attract new customers, and strengthen our competitive position. We believe that we can leverage our partnerships with POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UX and UI providers, and loyalty programs to deliver additional value to our customers.

 

   

Grow our longer-term market opportunity. While we have not made any significant investments in this area to date, we believe there is an opportunity to partner with SMB brands to enable their e-commerce presence. Additionally, as many of our customers operate internationally, we believe there is a robust opportunity to expand their usage of our platform outside of the United States. We also believe that our platform can be applied to other verticals beyond the restaurant industry that are undergoing similar digital transformations. For example, we currently partner with a number of grocery chains who use our software to help their consumers order ready-to-eat meals, and may potentially expand these or other partnerships in the future.

Risk Factors Summary

Investing in our common stock involves substantial risks. The risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary may cause us to not realize the full potential of our key benefits or to be unable to successfully execute all or part of our strategy. Some of the more significant risks include the following:

 

   

Our rapid growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract new customers, retain revenue from existing customers, and increase sales to both new and existing customers.

 

   

Our limited operating history with our new modules in a new and developing market makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

 

   

Our business could be harmed if we fail to manage our growth effectively.

 

   

We have a history of losses and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

 

   

Our sales cycles can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable investment of time and expense. If our sales cycle lengthens or we invest substantial resources pursuing unsuccessful sales opportunities, our operating results and growth would be harmed.

 

   

We expect fluctuations in our financial results, making it difficult to project future results, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors with respect to our results of operations, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline.

 

   

Our business depends on customers increasing their use of our platform, and any loss of customers or decline in their use of our platform could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

   

If we fail to continue to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security, and scalability of our platform in a manner that responds to our customers’ evolving needs, our business may be adversely affected.

 

   

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties and our ability to integrate with third-party applications and software.

 

   

Our Dispatch module currently relies on a limited number of DSPs.

 

   

Our Rails module currently relies on a limited number of marketplaces.

 

   

Security breaches, denial of service attacks, or other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems or the systems with which our platform integrates could harm our reputation or subject us to significant liability and adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

   

Our business is highly competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.



 

11


Table of Contents
   

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business may be harmed.

 

   

Our future success depends in part on our ability to drive the adoption of our platform by international and SMB customers, and to expand into new, on-demand e-commerce verticals.

 

   

We may be subject to claims by third parties of intellectual property infringement.

 

   

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over our financial reporting process. If we are unable to remediate this material weakness, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations.

Our Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Delaware in June 2005. In January 2020, we changed our name from Mobo Systems, Inc. to Olo Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 285 Fulton Street, One World Trade Center, 82nd Floor, New York, New York 10007, and our telephone number is (212) 260-0895. Our website address is www.olo.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and you should not consider information on our website to be part of this prospectus or in deciding to purchase our common stock.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. We may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or until we are no longer an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering; (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of June 30 of such fiscal year.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider and read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as other information included in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. The occurrence of any of the following risks or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your original investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our rapid growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract new customers, retain revenue from existing customers, and increase sales to both new and existing customers.

We principally generate revenues through subscription revenue from our Ordering module, transaction fees associated with the use of our Rails and Dispatch modules, and professional service fees from the deployment and integration of our platform. While the number of customers using our platform, the number of modules that each customer uses, and the volume of transactions on our platform have grown rapidly in recent years, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these customers or acquire new customers, deploy additional modules to these customers, or that the volume of transactions on our platform will continue to increase. Our costs associated with subscription renewals and additional module deployments are substantially lower than costs associated with generating revenue from new customers. Therefore, if we are unable to retain or increase revenue from existing customers, even if such losses are offset by an increase in new customers or an increase in other revenues, our operating results could be adversely impacted.

We may also fail to attract new customers, increase the volume of transactions on our platform, retain or increase revenue from existing customers or increase sales of our modules to both new and existing customers as a result of a number of factors, including:

 

   

reductions in our current or potential customers’ spending levels;

 

   

reduction in the number of transactions using our Ordering, Rails, and Dispatch modules;

 

   

competitive factors affecting the software as a service, or SaaS, or restaurant brand software applications markets, including the introduction of competing platforms, discount pricing, and other strategies that may be implemented by our competitors;

 

   

our ability to execute on our growth strategy and operating plans;

 

   

a decline in our customers’ level of satisfaction with our platform and customers’ usage of our platform;

 

   

the difficulty and cost to switch to a competitor may not be significant for many of our customers;

 

   

changes in our relationships with third parties, including our delivery service provider, or DSP, restaurant delivery marketplace, or marketplace, customer loyalty, and payment processor partners;

 

18


Table of Contents
   

the timeliness and success of new modules we may develop;

 

   

concerns relating to actual or perceived security breaches;

 

   

the frequency and severity of any system outages; and

 

   

technological changes or problems.

Additionally, we anticipate that our revenue growth rate will decline over time to the extent that the number of customers using our platform increases and we achieve higher market penetration rates. Furthermore, to the extent our market penetration among larger potential customers increases, we may be required to target smaller customers to maintain our revenue growth rates, which could result in lower gross profits. As our growth rate declines, investors’ perception of our business may be adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline as a result. To the extent our growth rate slows, our business performance will become increasingly dependent on our ability to retain revenue from existing customers and increase sales to existing customers.

Our limited operating history with our new modules in a new and developing market makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

In 2015 and 2017, we launched our Dispatch and Rails modules, respectively, and in 2016 we began to offer a transactional-based pricing model for our Ordering module. While the recent introduction of these new offerings and this new pricing model have contributed significantly to our recent growth in revenue, we have little experience with these new modules and pricing model, which makes it difficult to accurately assess our future prospects. You should consider our future prospects in light of the challenges and uncertainties that we face, including:

 

   

the fact that our business has grown rapidly and it may not be possible to fully discern the trends that we are subject to;

 

   

that we operate in a new and developing market with a rapidly changing competitive landscape;

 

   

that we may be unable to accurately predict our revenue and operating expenses for new modules that we release;

 

   

our ability to enhance or retain our brand among customers and potential customers;

 

   

that we may in the future enter into additional new and developing markets that may not develop as we expect or that our platform or modules may not adequately address; and

 

   

that elements of our business strategy are new and subject to ongoing development.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing and unforeseen expenses as we continue to grow our business. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not manage these risks successfully, our reputation, business, results of operations, and prospects will be harmed.

Table of Contents

Our business could be harmed if we fail to manage our growth effectively.

The rapid growth we have experienced in our business places significant demands on our operational infrastructure. The scalability and flexibility of our platform depends on the functionality of our technology and cloud infrastructure and its ability to handle increased traffic and demand. The growth in the number of third-party ecosystem partners, customers using our platform, and the number of orders processed, coordinated, and delivered through our Ordering, Rails, and Dispatch modules has increased the amount of data and requests that we process. Additionally, new modules, solutions, services, and restaurant ecosystem partners that we integrate may significantly increase the load on our technology infrastructure. Any problems with the transmission or storage of increased data and requests could result in harm to our brand or reputation. Moreover, as our business grows, we will need to devote additional resources to improving our operational infrastructure and continuing to enhance its scalability in order to maintain the performance of our platform, including by improving or expanding cloud infrastructure.

This rapid growth has also placed, and will likely continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, financial, and other resources. As a result, we intend to increase headcount significantly in the near future to further expand our overall business, with no assurance that our revenues will continue to grow. As we grow, we will be required to continue to improve our operational and financial controls and reporting procedures and we may not be able to do so effectively. In addition, our management team has little experience leading a large, potentially global business operation, so our management may not be able to lead any such growth effectively.

We have a history of losses and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred significant losses since inception. We generated net losses of $11.6 million and $             for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $64.1 million. These losses and accumulated deficit are a result of the substantial investments we made to grow our business and we expect to make significant expenditures to expand our business in the future. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in the near-term as we increase our operating expenses, including, without limitation, as a result of expected increases in:

 

   

sales and marketing expenses, as we continue to spend on marketing activities and expand our sales efforts;

 

   

research and development expenses, as we continue to introduce new modules to extend the functionality of our platform;

 

   

expenses related to customer service and support, which is critical to our continued success and ability to maintain a strong reputation for our brand;

 

   

expenses related to further investments in our network infrastructure in order to support the continued growth of our business and to meet the demands of continuously changing security and operational requirements; and

 

   

general costs and administrative expenses as a result of our continued growth and the increased costs associated with being a public company.

These increased expenditures will make it harder for us to achieve or sustain profitability and we cannot predict if we will achieve or sustain profitability in the near term or at all. Historically, our costs have increased each year due to these investments and we expect to continue to incur

increasing costs to support our anticipated future growth. In addition, the costs associated with acquiring new customers may materially rise in the future, including if we expand international sales efforts outside of the United States and Canada, increase our efforts to pursue small and medium, or SMB, restaurant brands, or increase sales efforts to other verticals. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage our expenses, we may continue to incur significant losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability.

We may also make decisions that would reduce our short-term operating results if we believe those decisions will improve the experiences of our customers and consumers and if we believe such decisions will improve our operating results over the long-term. These decisions may not be consistent with the expectations of investors and may not produce the long-term benefits that we expect, in which case our business may be materially harmed.

Our sales cycles can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable investment of time and expense. If our sales cycle lengthens or we invest substantial resources pursuing unsuccessful sales opportunities, our operating results and growth would be harmed.

We have historically incurred significant costs and experienced long sales cycles when selling to restaurant brands. In the restaurant brand market segment, the decision to adopt our modules may require the approval of multiple technical and business decision makers, including security, compliance, operations, finance and treasury, marketing, and IT. In addition, while restaurant brand customers may more quickly deploy our modules on a limited basis, before they will commit to deploying our modules at scale, they often require extensive education about our modules and significant customer support time or pilot programs, engage in protracted pricing negotiations and seek to secure development resources. In addition, sales cycles for restaurant brand customers in general and larger restaurant brands in particular are inherently complex and unpredictable. These complex and resource intensive sales efforts could place additional strain on our development and engineering resources. Further, even after restaurant brand customers contract to use our platform, they may require extensive integration or deployment resources from us before they become active customers, which have at times extended to multiple quarterly periods following the execution of the agreement. Because we generally only generate Ordering, Rails, and Dispatch module revenue after our platform is deployed, if we are unable to deploy our platform with our customers in a timely manner, our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed. Finally, restaurant brands may choose to develop their own solutions that do not include any or all of our modules. They also may demand reductions in pricing as their usage of our modules increases, which could have an adverse impact on our gross margin. If we are unable to increase the revenue that we derive from these customers, then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We expect fluctuations in our financial results, making it difficult to project future results, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors with respect to our results of operations, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline.

Our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and are expected to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance. In addition to the other risks described herein, factors that may affect our results of operations include the following:

 

   

fluctuations in demand for or pricing of our platform, or any of our modules;

 

   

fluctuations in usage of our platform, or any of our modules;

 

   

our ability to attract new customers;

 

21


Table of Contents
   

our ability to retain our existing customers;

 

   

the timing of our customer purchases and deployments;

 

   

customer expansion rates and the pricing and quantity of subscriptions renewed and transactions proceeded through our platform;

 

   

timing and amount of our investments to expand the capacity of our third-party cloud infrastructure providers;

 

   

the investment in new modules relative to investments in our existing infrastructure and platform;

 

   

fluctuations or delays in purchasing decisions in anticipation of new modules or enhancements by us or our competitors;

 

   

changes in customers’ budgets and in the timing of their budget cycles and purchasing decisions;

 

   

our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses;

 

   

the amount and timing of payment for operating expenses, particularly research and development and sales and marketing expenses, including sales commissions;

 

   

the amount and timing of non-cash expenses, including stock-based compensation, goodwill impairments and other non-cash charges;

 

   

the amount and timing of costs associated with recruiting, training and integrating new employees and retaining and motivating existing employees;

 

   

the effects of acquisitions and their integration;

 

   

general economic conditions, both domestically and internationally, as well as economic conditions specifically affecting industries in which our customers participate;

 

   

the impact of new accounting pronouncements;

 

   

changes in regulatory or legal environments that may cause us to incur, among other elements, expenses associated with compliance;

 

   

changes in the competitive dynamics of our market, including consolidation among competitors or customers; and

 

   

significant security breaches of, technical difficulties with, or interruptions to, the delivery and use of our modules and platform capabilities or third-party applications or point of sale or management systems that our platform integrates with.

Any of these and other factors, or the cumulative effect of some of these factors, may cause our results of operations to vary significantly. If our quarterly results of operations fall below the expectations of investors and securities analysts who follow our stock, the price of our common stock could decline substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.

Our business depends on customers increasing their use of our platform, and any loss of customers or decline in their use of our platform could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our ability to grow and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with existing customers, to have them increase their deployment and use of our platform and Ordering, Rails, and Dispatch modules, and to increase or maintain transaction volume on our platform. Although our customers generally have multi-year contracts with us, they may generally elect not to renew by providing at least 30 days’ written notice prior to the expiration date of the contract. In addition, if our customers do not increase their use of our platform or adopt and deploy additional modules, or if they reduce the number of locations using our platform, then our revenue may decline and our results of operations may be harmed. Customers may not renew their contracts with us or reduce their use of our platform for any number of reasons, including if they are not satisfied with our platform or modules, the value proposition of our platform or our ability to meet their needs and expectations, or if they decide to build their own solution internally. Additionally, consumers may change their eating habits or reduce their orders from our current restaurant brand customers, which could harm their business and reduce their use of our platform. We cannot accurately predict our customers’ usage levels and the loss of customers or reductions in the number of locations that use our platform or their usage levels of our modules may each have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and may cause our expansion rate to decline. If a significant number of customers cease using, or reduce their usage of our platform, then we may be required to spend significantly more on sales and marketing than we currently plan to spend in order to maintain or increase revenue from our customers. Such additional sales and marketing expenditures could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If we fail to continue to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security, and scalability of our platform in a manner that responds to our customers’ evolving needs, our business may be adversely affected.

The e-commerce and digital ordering markets are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Our success has been based on our ability to identify and anticipate the needs of our customers and design and maintain a platform that provides them with the tools they need to operate their businesses. Our ability to attract new customers, retain revenue from existing customers, and increase sales to both new and existing customers will depend in large part on our ability to continue to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security, and scalability of our platform. Additionally, to achieve and maintain market acceptance for our platform, we must effectively integrate with new or existing software solutions that meet changing customer demands in a timely manner.

Furthermore, as we expand our platform and services, and as the number of our customers with higher volume sales increases, we expect that we will need to offer increased functionality, scalability and support, which requires us to devote additional resources to such efforts. To the extent we are not able to enhance our platform’s functionality in order to maintain its utility, enhance our platform’s scalability in order to maintain its performance and availability, or improve our support functions in order to meet increased customer service demands, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may experience difficulties with software development that could delay or prevent the development, deployment, introduction or implementation of new modules and enhancements. Software development involves a significant amount of time, as it can take our developers months to update, code, and test new and upgraded modules and integrate those modules into our platform. We

 

23


Table of Contents

must also continually update, test, certify, and enhance our software platform. The continual improvement and enhancement of our platform requires significant investment and we may not have the resources to make such investment. Our improvements and enhancements may not result in our ability to recoup our investments in a timely manner, or at all. We may make significant investments in new modules or enhancements that may not achieve expected returns. The improvement and enhancement of the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security, and scalability of our platform is expensive and complex, and to the extent we are not able to perform it in a manner that responds to our customers’ evolving needs, our business, operating results, and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties and our ability to integrate with third-party applications and software.

We anticipate that the growth of our business will continue to depend on third-party relationships, including relationships with our point of sale, or POS, systems, DSPs, marketplaces, digital agencies, payment processors, loyalty providers and other partners. In addition to growing our third-party partner ecosystem, we have entered into agreements with, and intend to pursue additional relationships with, other third parties, such as search engine and social media, location services, voice ordering, autonomous vehicle, and virtual kitchen providers. Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with third parties and integrating third-party content and technology requires significant time and resources, and third-party providers may choose to terminate their relationship with us, compete directly against us, or make material changes to their businesses, solutions, or services that could be detrimental to our business.

The success of our platform depends, in part, on our ability to integrate third-party applications, software and other offerings into our platform. Third-party developers may also change the features of their offering of applications and software or alter the terms governing the use of their offerings in a manner that is adverse to us. If third-party applications or software change such that we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our platform with these applications and software, or if we fail to ensure there are third-party applications and software that our customers desire to add to their ordering or delivery portals, demand for our platform could decline. If we are unable to maintain technical inter-operation, our customers may not be able to effectively integrate our platform with other systems and services they use. We may also be unable to maintain our relationships with certain third-party vendors if we are unable to integrate our platform with their offerings. In addition, third-parties may refuse to partner with us or limit or restrict our access to their offerings. Such changes could functionally limit or terminate our ability to use these third-party offerings with our platform, which could negatively impact our platform offerings and harm our business. If we fail to integrate our platform with new third-party offerings that our customers need to operate their businesses, or to adapt to the data transfer requirements of such third-party offerings, we may not be able to offer the functionality that our customers and their consumers expect, which would harm our business. In addition, our success depends on how we interact with third-parties and the ease of use of integrating to our platform and getting the proper support from our developer support team.

These providers may not perform as expected under our agreements or under their agreements with our customers, we or our customers may in the future have disagreements or disputes with such providers, or such providers may change their business models, experience reduced growth, or reduce incentives for our customers’ consumers to make delivery orders. For example, if the DSP providers we partner with for our Dispatch module were to increase prices of the delivery to customers, the number of orders made through our platform could be reduced and our business may be harmed. In addition, if our Rails providers were to reduce incentives for consumers to order through those respective marketplaces, our revenue and business may be harmed. If we lose access to solutions or services from a particular partner, or experience a significant reduction or

 

24


Table of Contents

disruption in the supply of services from a current partner, it could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Our Dispatch module currently relies on a limited number of DSPs.

The availability of DSPs generally, and of specific DSPs in certain markets, is integral to the value that our Dispatch module provides to our customers and our ability to generate revenue from orders fulfilled through Dispatch. However, the delivery service provider market has not yet fully developed and could be adversely affected by various conditions, including industry consolidation, changes in labor and independent contractor laws and changes in pricing models, the success of competitors or competing solutions for customers, and general economic conditions. In general, there is more than one DSP available to fulfill delivery orders through Dispatch. In certain markets, however, delivery orders are fulfilled by one or a limited number of DSPs, with a subset of such DSPs being responsible for fulfilling a majority of orders in that market. In addition, certain of these DSPs may be, or may be perceived to be, in competition with us with respect to some of our offerings and, as a result, may be less incentivized to continue to partner with us. If one or more DSPs that represents a significant volume of our Dispatch transactions overall, or DSPs that represent a significant volume of our Dispatch transactions in any single market, are no longer able to continue to provide timely and reliable delivery services, or if we or a DSP terminate our partnership, we could experience significant interruptions in the delivery of orders through our Dispatch module, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our Rails module currently relies on a limited number of marketplaces.

Our Rails module integrates with a limited number of digital ordering marketplaces to fulfill third-party ordering transactions on our platform. These marketplaces could decide to create new software that is incompatible with our platform, enter into exclusive agreements directly with our customers or potential customers, or enter into agreements directly with our competitors or potential future competitors of ours on terms that are more favorable than those we offer to our customers. In the event that any of the largest digital ordering marketplaces do not integrate with our platform, or create software that is incompatible or competes with our platform by directly integrating with one of our customers, our ability to generate transactional revenue using our Rails module will decline, which could harm our business and results of operation.

Security breaches, denial of service attacks, or other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems or the systems with which our platform integrates could harm our reputation or subject us to significant liability, and adversely affect our business and financial results.

We operate in the e-commerce industry, which is prone to cyber-attacks. Failure to prevent or mitigate security breaches and improper access to or disclosure of our data, our customers’ data, or their consumers’ data, could result in the loss or misuse of such data, which could harm our business and reputation. The security measures we have integrated into our systems and processes, which are designed to prevent or minimize security breaches, may not function as expected or may not be sufficient to protect our internal networks and platform against attacks. Further, our platform also integrates with third-party applications and POS and management systems over which we exercise no control. Such third-party applications and POS and management systems are also susceptible to security breaches, which could directly or indirectly result in a breach of our platform. The failure of a customer’s third-party front-end provider to adequately protect their systems could result in an attack that we are unable to prevent from the back-end, which could result in a service outage for all customers, and may require us to take the affected customer offline to restore service to the platform for other customers. In addition, techniques used to sabotage or to obtain unauthorized access to data change frequently. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement

 

25


Table of Contents

adequate measures to prevent an intrusion into our networks directly, or into our platform through the third-party applications or point of sale and management systems with which our platform integrates. Our exposure to security breaches may be heightened because our platform is accessible through hundreds of our customers’ white label domains and mobile applications.

Our storage and use of our customers’ data concerning their restaurants and consumers is essential to their use of our platform, which stores, transmits and processes our customers’ proprietary information and information relating to them and consumers. If a security breach were to occur, as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, or otherwise, and the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our customers’ data was disrupted, we could incur significant liability to our customers and their consumers, and our platform may be perceived as less desirable, which could negatively affect our business and damage our reputation. In addition, any loss of customer or individual consumer data could create significant monetary damages for us that may harm our ability to operate the business.

A security vulnerability in our platform or point of sale integration software could compromise our customers’ in-store networks, which could expose customer or consumer information beyond what we collect through our platform. As a multitenant SaaS provider, despite our logical separation of data between customers, we may face an increased risk of accidentally commingling data between customers due to employee error, a software bug, or otherwise, which may result in unauthorized disclosure of data between customers. We may in the future be subject to distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attacks, a technique used by hackers to take an internet service offline by overloading its servers. A DDoS attack could delay or interrupt service to our customers and their consumers and may deter consumers from ordering or engaging with our customers’ restaurants. Our platform and third-party applications may also be subject to DDoS attacks in the future and we cannot guarantee that applicable recovery systems, security protocols, network protection mechanisms and other procedures are or will be adequate to prevent network and service interruption, system failure or data loss. In addition, computer malware, viruses, hacking, credential stuffing, social engineering, phishing, physical theft and other attacks by third parties are prevalent in our industry. We may experience such attacks in the future and, as a result of our increased visibility, we believe that we are increasingly a target for such breaches and attacks.

Moreover, our platform and third-party applications, services or point of sale and management systems integrated with our platform could be breached if vulnerabilities in our platform or third-party applications or point of sale and management systems are exploited by unauthorized third parties or due to employee error, malfeasance, or otherwise. Further, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information or otherwise compromise the security of our internal networks, electronic systems and/or physical facilities in order to gain access to our data or our customers’ data. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and the size and severity of DDoS attacks and security breaches are increasing, we may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures or stop DDoS attacks or security breaches while they are occurring. In addition to our own platform and applications, some of the third parties we work with may receive information provided by us, by our customers, or by our customers’ consumers through web or mobile applications integrated with our platform. If these third parties fail to adhere to adequate data security practices, or in the event of a breach of their networks, our own and our customers’ data may be improperly accessed, used or disclosed.

Any actual or perceived DDoS attack or security breach of our platform, systems and networks could damage our reputation and brand, expose us to a risk of litigation and possible liability and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to and alleviate problems caused by the DDoS attack or security breach. Our ability to retain adequate cyber-crime and liability

insurance may be reduced. Some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data and our agreements with certain customers and partners require us to notify them in the event of a security incident. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, and may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Moreover, if a high-profile security breach occurs with respect to another SaaS provider or one of the service providers we partner with, customers may lose trust in the security of the SaaS business model generally, which could adversely impact our ability to retain revenue from existing customers or attract new ones. Any of these events could harm our reputation or subject us to significant liability, and materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.

If our software contains serious errors or defects, we may lose revenue and market acceptance and may incur costs to defend or settle claims with our customers.

Software such as ours may contain errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs that are difficult to detect and correct, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Despite internal testing, our platform may contain serious errors or defects, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs that we may be unable to successfully correct in a timely manner or at all, which could result in lost revenue, significant expenditures of capital, a delay or loss in market acceptance, and damage to our reputation and brand, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. For example, our payment processing code may contain a software bug or other misconfiguration, resulting in failure to collect payment for orders that are otherwise fulfilled, which could result in significant refunds owed to our customers. A software bug could also result in a customer receiving an item other than what they ordered or an ingredient to which they are allergic, causing reputational harm to us. In addition, our tax calculation code may also contain errors or defects, which may result in differences payable by us or fines owed by us, or our fraud detection software could identify false positives in the system, and in turn could reduce transactional revenue. Furthermore, our platform allows us to deploy new versions and enhancements to all of our customers simultaneously. To the extent we deploy new versions or enhancements that contain errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs to all of our customers simultaneously, the consequences would be more severe than if such versions or enhancements were only deployed to a smaller number of our customers.

Because our customers use our platform for processes that are critical to their businesses, errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, service interruptions, or software bugs in our platform could result in losses to our customers. Our customers may be entitled significant compensation from us in the form of service level credits or pursue litigation against us for any losses they suffer or cease conducting business with us altogether. Further, a customer could share information about bad experiences on social media, at industry conferences, or with peer companies, which could result in damage to our reputation and loss of future sales. There can be no assurance that provisions typically included in our agreements with our customers that attempt to limit our exposure to claims against us would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim. Even if not successful, a claim brought against us by any of our customers would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend and could seriously damage our reputation and brand, making it harder for us to sell our modules.

We and certain of our third-party partners, service providers, and subprocessors transmit and store personal information of our customers and consumers. If the security of this information is compromised or is otherwise accessed without authorization, our reputation may be harmed and we may be exposed to liability and loss of business.

We transmit and store personal information and other confidential information of our partners, our customers, and consumers. Third-party applications integrated with our platform may also handle

 

27


Table of Contents

or store personal information, credit card information, including cardholder data and sensitive authentication data, or other confidential information. We do not proactively monitor the content that our customers upload and store, or the information provided to us through the applications integrated with our platform, and, therefore, we do not control the substance of the content on our servers, which may include personal information. Additionally, we use dozens of third-party service providers and subprocessors to help us deliver services to customers and consumers. These service providers and subprocessors may handle or store personal information, credit card information, or other confidential information. There may in the future be successful attempts by third parties to obtain unauthorized access to the personal information of our partners, our customers, and consumers. This information could also be otherwise exposed through human error, malfeasance, or otherwise. The unauthorized release, unauthorized access or compromise of this information could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if such a data breach did not arise out of our actions or inactions, or if it were to affect one or more of our competitors or our customers’ competitors, the resulting consumer concern could negatively affect our customers and our business.

We integrate with a number of third-party service providers in order to meet our customers’ needs, and although we contractually require our customers to ensure the security of such service providers, a security breach of one of these providers could become negatively associated with our brand, or our assistance in responding to such a breach could tie up our internal resources. We are also subject to federal, state, and provincial laws regarding cybersecurity and the protection of data. Some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving certain types of personal information and our agreements with certain customers and partners require us to notify them in the event of certain security incidents. Additionally, some jurisdictions, as well as our contracts with certain customers, require us to use industry-standard or reasonable measures to safeguard personal information or confidential information. As cardholder data and sensitive authentication data is transmitted through our platform, we may be required by card networks and our contracts with payment processors to adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, or PCI DSS.

Our failure to comply with legal, regulatory or contractual requirements, and the rules of payment card networks and self-regulatory organizations, including PCI-DSS, around the security of personal information, cardholder data, or sensitive authentication data, could lead to significant fines and penalties imposed by regulators and card networks, as well as claims by our customers, consumers, or other relevant stakeholders. These proceedings or violations could force us to spend money in defense or settlement of these proceedings, result in the imposition of monetary liability or injunctive relief, divert management’s time and attention, increase our costs of doing business, and materially adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our platform. In addition, if our security measures fail to protect credit card information adequately, we could be liable to our partners, our customers and, consumers for their losses. As a result, we could be subject to fines, we could face regulatory or other legal action, and our customers could end their relationships with us. There can be no assurance that the limitations of liability in our contracts would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from any such liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim. We also cannot be sure that our existing insurance coverage and coverage for errors and omissions will continue to be available on acceptable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that our insurers will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage, or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases, or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are subject to stringent and changing privacy laws, regulations and standards, and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our reputation, subject us to significant fines and liability, or adversely affect our business.

The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues in the United States is rapidly evolving. Laws in all 50 states require us to provide notice to customers when certain sensitive personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. These laws are frequently inconsistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach is costly. Moreover, states regularly enact new laws and regulations, which require us to provide consumers with certain disclosures related to our privacy practices, as well as maintain systems necessary to allow customers to invoke their rights. For example, on January 1, 2020, California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or CCPA, which provides new data privacy rights for consumers and new operational requirements for covered businesses. The CCPA gives California residents more control over their personal information and includes a statutory damages framework and private right of action imposing civil penalties against businesses that fail to comply with certain security practices. Although the CCPA’s implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, the CCPA may increase our compliance costs and exposure to liability. More so, additional states that adopt privacy laws that differ from the CCPA may require us to do unanticipated and unbudgeted work in order to comply with additional privacy and data security requirements. The costs associated with compliance may impede our development and could limit the adoption of our services. Finally, any failure by our vendors to comply with applicable law or regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities or others.

Additionally, virtually every foreign jurisdiction in which our current or potential future customers may operate has established privacy and data security laws, rules and regulations. The European Union, or EU, has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, which went into effect on May 25, 2018. Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates transfers of personally identifiable information from the EU to non-EU countries, such as the United States. Under the GDPR, fines of up to 20 million or up to 4% of the annual global revenue of the noncompliant company, whichever is greater, could be imposed for violations of certain GDPR requirements. Moreover, individuals can claim damages as a result of GDPR violations. Other jurisdictions outside the EU are similarly introducing or enhancing privacy and data security laws, rules and regulations, which may increase the risks associated with non-compliance.

Certain current or potential future customers are subject to the GDPR and we may be required to assist such customers with their compliance obligations. While we are not currently subject to the GDPR ourselves, many of our customers are subject to the GDPR. We may be required to expend resources to assist our customers with such compliance obligations. Assisting our customers in complying with the GDPR or complying with the GDPR ourselves if we expand our business to the EU in the future may cause us to incur substantial operational costs or require us to change our business practices to maintain such information in the European Economic Area.

We publish privacy policies, self-certifications, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield, and other documentation regarding our collection, processing, use and disclosure of personal information, credit card information and other confidential information. Although we endeavor to comply with our published policies, certifications, and documentation, we may at times fail to do so or may be perceived to have failed to do so. Such failures can subject us to potential international, local, state and federal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of our actual practices, resulting in reputational or financial harm to the company. Globally, there have been numerous lawsuits brought against technology companies related to their privacy and data security practices. If those lawsuits are successful, it could increase the risk that we may be exposed to liability for similar practices.

Furthermore, if customer concerns regarding data security increase, customers may be hesitant to provide us with the data necessary to provide our service effectively. This could generally limit the adoption of our product and the growth of our company.

Payment transactions processed on our platform may subject us to regulatory requirements and the rules of payment card networks, and other risks that could be costly and difficult to comply with or that could harm our business.

The payment card networks require us to comply with payment card network operating rules, including special operating rules that apply to us as a “payment service provider” that provides payment processing-related services to merchants and payment processors. The payment card networks set these network rules and have discretion to interpret them and change them. We are also required by our payment processors to comply with payment card network operating rules and we have agreed to reimburse our payment processors for any fines they are assessed by payment card networks as a result of any rule violations by us or our customers. Any changes to or interpretations of the network rules that are inconsistent with the way we and the payment processors and merchants currently operate may require us to make changes to our business that could be costly or difficult to implement. If we fail to make such changes or otherwise resolve the issue with the payment card networks, the networks could fine us, cancel or suspend our registration as a payment service provider, or prohibit us from processing payment cards, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, violations of the network rules or any failure to maintain good standing with the payment card networks as a payment service provider could impact our ability to facilitate payment card transactions on our platform, increase our costs, or could otherwise harm our business. If we were unable to facilitate payment card transactions on our platform, or were limited in our ability to do so, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to comply with the rules and regulations adopted by the payment card networks, we would be in breach of our contractual obligations to our payment processors, financial institutions or partners. Such failure to comply may subject us to fines, penalties, damages, higher transaction fees and civil liability, and could eventually prevent us from processing or accepting payment cards or could lead to a loss of payment processor partners, even if there is no compromise of customer or consumer information. In the event that we are found to be in violation of any of these legal or regulatory requirements, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

We believe the licensing requirements of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and state agencies that regulate banks, money service businesses, money transmitters, and other providers of electronic commerce services do not apply to us. One or more governmental agencies may conclude that, under its statutes or regulations, we are engaged in activity requiring licensing or registration. In that event, we may be subject to monetary penalties, adverse publicity, and may be required to cease doing business with residents of those states until we obtain the requisite license or registration.

We currently generate significant revenue from our largest customers, and the loss or decline in revenue from any of these customers could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, our 10 largest customers generated an aggregate of 35% and     % of our revenue, respectively. Although these customers enter into long-term contracts with us, they may reduce or terminate their usage of our platform or decide not to renew their agreements with us.

In the event that any of our largest customers do not continue to use our platform, use fewer of our modules, use our modules in a more limited capacity, or not at all, or if the volume of transactions

processed on our platform declines, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our business is highly competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

We face competition in various aspects of our business and we expect such competition to intensify in the future, as existing and new competitors, including some of our current ecosystem partners, introduce new solutions or enhance existing solutions that are directly competitive with our modules. Our platform combines functionality from numerous product categories, and we therefore compete in each of these categories including white-label digital ordering solution providers, restaurant-focused POS platforms, marketplaces that provide direct digital ordering solutions, and custom software providers. Our potential new or existing competitors may be able to develop solutions that are better received by customers or may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, regulations, or customer requirements. Some restaurant delivery marketplaces may sell solutions that are competitive with our core platform and they may become more aggressive in their sales tactics, including by bundling competitive solutions with their delivery or marketplace products. If competitors, many of which are much better capitalized than we are, are successful in providing our customers with a more attractive solution or pricing, our business and results of operation may be harmed.

Competition may intensify as current or future competitors enter into business combinations or alliances or raise additional capital, or as established companies in other market segments or geographic markets expand into our market segments or geographic markets. For instance, current or future competitors could use strong or dominant positions in one or more markets to gain a competitive advantage against us in areas where we operate including by integrating additional or competing platforms or features into solutions they control, such as additional payment, rewards or delivery platforms or features. In addition, certain customers may choose to partner with our competitors in a specific geographic market, or choose to engage exclusively with our competitors. Further, our current ecosystem partners could add features to their solutions, including point of sale functionality, limit or terminate the availability of their products on our platform, or directly compete with our solutions by expanding their product offerings. Current and future competitors may also choose to offer a different pricing model or to undercut prices in an effort to increase their market share. If we cannot compete successfully against current and future competitors, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

Mergers of or other strategic transactions by our competitors or our customers could weaken our competitive position or reduce our revenue.

If one or more of our competitors, marketplace partners, or DSPs were to consolidate or partner with another one of our competitors, marketplace partners, or DSPs, the change in landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our third party ecosystem partners, thereby limiting our ability to promote our platform. In addition, we may lose customers that merge with or are acquired by companies using a competitor’s or an internally developed solution. Disruptions in our business caused by these events could adversely affect our revenue growth and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain a consistently high level of customer service or if we fail to manage our reputation, our brand, business and financial results may be harmed.

We believe our focus on customer service and support is critical to onboarding new customers, retaining our existing customers and growing our business. As a result, we have invested heavily in the

 

31


Table of Contents

quality and training of our support team along with the tools they use to provide this service. If we are unable to maintain a consistently high level of customer service, we may lose existing customers or fail to increase revenues from existing customers. In addition, our ability to attract new customers is highly dependent on our reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain a consistently high level of customer service, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality customer service, could adversely affect our reputation and the number of positive customer referrals that we receive.

We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key employees, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our future performance depends on the continued services and contributions of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Noah Glass, and other key employees to execute on our business plan, keep our platform stable and secure, and to identify and pursue new opportunities and platform innovations. The failure to properly manage succession plans or the loss of services of senior management or other key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives. From time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees with the exception of Noah Glass, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior management or other key employees for any reason could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results, and require significant amounts of time, training, and resources to find suitable replacements and integrate them within our business, and could affect our corporate culture.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business and competitive position may be harmed.

We believe that a key contributor to our success to date has been our corporate culture, which is based on transparency, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. Our substantial anticipated headcount growth and our transition from a private company to a public company may make it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture. If we fail to maintain our company culture, or if we are unable to retain or hire key personnel, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, our business may be adversely affected.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for engineers experienced in designing and developing SaaS or e-commerce applications, products managers and designers, and experienced enterprise sales professionals.

Further, our ability to increase our customer base, especially among restaurant brands, small and medium size businesses, potential international customers and other customers we may pursue, or to achieve broader market acceptance of our platform will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively organize, focus and train our sales, marketing and customer success personnel.

Our ability to convince restaurant brands to use our platform or adopt additional modules will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain sales personnel with experience selling to large

 

32


Table of Contents

enterprises. We believe that there is significant competition for experienced sales professionals with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend, in part, on our ability to recruit, train and retain a sufficient number of experienced sales professionals, particularly those with experience selling to restaurant brands or large enterprises. In addition, even if we are successful in hiring qualified sales personnel, new hires require significant training and experience before they achieve full productivity, particularly for sales efforts targeted at restaurant brands and new territories. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as quickly as we expect and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business.

In the past we have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring employees with the appropriate qualifications, particularly if we significantly expand headcount in the near-term. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers may attempt to assert that these employees or we have breached their legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources. In addition, prospective and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity awards declines, experiences significant volatility, or increases such that prospective employees believe there is limited upside to the value of our equity awards, it may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain key employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects would be harmed.

Additionally, many of our employees currently work remotely, which has allowed us to reduce capital expenditures on office space, leases and other related costs. If we increase the number of employees who do not work remotely, we could incur increased costs and expenses in order to provide the appropriate office infrastructure for these personnel.

We rely upon Amazon Web Services and other infrastructure to operate our platform, and any disruption of or interference with our use of these providers would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We outsource substantial portions of our cloud infrastructure to Amazon Web Services, or AWS, Cloudflare, and other infrastructure providers. Our customers need to be able to access our platform at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. We are, therefore, vulnerable to service interruptions at AWS, Cloudflare, and other infrastructure providers, which could decrease the number of transactions we process on our platform and negatively impact our revenue. We have experienced, and expect that in the future we may experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, and capacity constraints. Capacity constraints could be due to a number of potential causes, including technical failures, natural disasters, fraud, or security attacks. In addition, if an infrastructure provider’s security is compromised, or our modules or platform are unavailable or our customers or their consumers are unable to use our platform within a reasonable amount of time or at all, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within a period of time acceptable to our customers. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our platform performance, especially during peak usage times, as our platform become more complex and the usage of our platform increases. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, either through AWS or alternative providers of cloud infrastructure, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition, any changes in service levels from AWS may adversely affect our ability to meet our customers’ requirements.

 

33


Table of Contents

In addition, AWS provides us with service pursuant to an agreement that continues until terminated by either party. AWS may terminate the agreement by providing 30 days prior written notice, and it may in some cases terminate the agreement immediately for cause upon notice. Although we expect that we could receive similar services from other third parties, if any of our arrangements with AWS are terminated, we could experience interruptions on our platform and in our ability to make our modules available to customers, as well as delays and additional expenses in arranging alternative cloud infrastructure services. Our agreement with AWS also includes a minimum spending commitment, part of which may be forfeited if we were to switch providers.

Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation, cause customers to stop using our platform, impair our ability to increase revenue from existing customers, impair our ability to grow our customer base, subject us to financial penalties and liabilities under our service level agreements and otherwise harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to achieve or maintain data transmission capacity.

Our customers often draw significant numbers of consumers to their websites and mobile applications over short periods of time, including during key television events, marketing events, holidays, or during peak delivery times, which significantly increases the traffic on our servers and the volume of transactions processed on our platform. Our infrastructure or software may be unable to achieve or maintain capacity high enough to handle increased traffic or process transactions in a timely manner. Our failure to achieve or maintain high capacity could significantly reduce demand for our platform. Further, as we continue to attract larger restaurant customers, the volume of data stored and transactions processed on our platform will increase, especially if such customers draw significant numbers of consumers over short periods of time. In the future, we may be required to allocate resources, including spending substantial amounts of money, to build, purchase or lease additional infrastructure in order to handle the increased load. Our ability to deliver our platform also depends on the development and maintenance of internet and mobile application infrastructure by third parties, including by our cloud service provider. Such development and maintenance includes the maintenance of reliable networks with the necessary speed, data capacity and bandwidth. If one of these third parties suffers from capacity constraints, our business may be adversely affected.

Our business and prospects would be harmed if changes to technologies used in our platform or new versions or upgrades of operating systems or applications adversely impact the process by which customers and consumers interface with our platform.

We believe that our platform’s functionality, simplicity, positive user experience, and ability to integrate with multiple technology partners in the restaurant ecosystem have helped us to expand and offer our platform to customers who may have limited technical personnel. In the future, providers of mobile, website, or other operating systems or applications could introduce new features, policies or rules that would make it difficult for customers to use our platform. In addition, mobile devices, websites, operating systems or other applications could introduce new features, change existing operating systems or other specifications such that they would be incompatible with our platform, or prevent delivery or marketplace partners from accessing customers who are using our platform. Furthermore, the adoption of voice ordering may occur faster than we anticipate and we may not be able to work as effectively with this functionality or provide services that are comparable to the ones we offer today. Any changes to technologies used in our platform, existing features that we rely on, or operating systems or applications that make it difficult for customers to access our platform or consumers to access our customers’ ordering applications or websites, may make it more difficult for us to maintain or increase our revenue and could adversely impact our business and prospects.

The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate. Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts included in this prospectus are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate, including the risks described herein. Even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of addressable customers covered by our market opportunity estimates will purchase our platform at all or generate any particular level of revenue for us. Any expansion in our market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with our platform and those of our competitors. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth forecasted in this prospectus, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Additionally, ghost or dark kitchens could become more prominent, thereby reducing the total number of potential restaurant brand customers, and they may not use our platform or modules as much as restaurant brand customers. Our growth is subject to many additional factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth. For more information regarding our estimates of market opportunity and the forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus, see the section titled “Market, Industry, and Other Data.”

Our future success depends in part on our ability to drive the adoption of our platform by international and SMB customers, and to expand into new, on-demand e-commerce verticals.

Although we currently do not derive significant revenue from customer accounts located outside the United States, and do not derive any revenue from customer accounts outside of North America, the future success of our business may depend, in part, on our ability to expand our customer base worldwide. However, because we have limited experience with international customers or in selling our platform internationally, our business model may not be successful or have the same traction outside the United States. As a result, our investment in marketing our platform to these potential customers may not be successful. Additionally, our success may depend in part on our ability to increase our partnerships with SMB customers. These customers may have different requirements than our larger restaurant brand customers, and therefore may not find our platform to be as attractive as our existing customers. They may also be unwilling to agree to pay subscription or transactional fees for our platform or modules at the levels required to make these transaction profitable, or they may request additional functionality, training, customer service, or software integrations. We also believe that our platform can be applied to other e-commerce verticals beyond the restaurant industry, and plan to focus on sectors or opportunities that are also undergoing the digital transformations. If we are unable to increase the revenue that we derive from international and SMB restaurant customers, or deploy our platform in other e-commerce verticals, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We may be subject to claims by third parties of intellectual property infringement.

The software industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Third parties have in the past asserted, and may in the future assert, that our platform, modules, technology, methods or practices infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate their intellectual property or other

 

35


Table of Contents

proprietary rights. Such claims may be made by our competitors seeking to obtain a competitive advantage or by other parties. Additionally, non-practicing entities purchasing intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement may attempt to extract settlements from us. The risk of claims may increase as the number of modules that we offer and competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur. In addition, to the extent that we gain greater visibility and market exposure, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims.

Any such claims, regardless of merit, that result in litigation could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of management, cause significant delays in introducing new or enhanced services or technology, materially disrupt the conduct of our business and have a material and adverse effect on our brand, business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we do not believe that our proprietary technology, processes and methods have been patented by any third party, it is possible that patents have been issued to third parties that cover all or a portion of our business. As a consequence of any patent or other intellectual property claims, we could be required to pay substantial damages, develop non-infringing technology, enter into royalty-bearing licensing agreements, stop selling or marketing some or all of our modules or re-brand our modules. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers against intellectual property claims, and we may have to pay substantial settlement costs, including royalty payments, in connection with any such claim or litigation and to obtain licenses, or modify applications, which could be costly. If it appears necessary, we may seek to secure license rights to intellectual property that we are alleged to infringe at a significant cost, potentially even if we believe such claims to be without merit. If required licenses cannot be obtained, or if existing licenses are not renewed, litigation could result. Litigation is inherently uncertain and can cause us to expend significant money, time and attention to it, even if we are ultimately successful. Any adverse decision could result in a loss of our proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses for alternative technologies from third parties, prevent us from offering all or a portion of our modules and otherwise negatively affect our business and operating results.

We could incur substantial costs in protecting or defending our intellectual property rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property or prevent third parties from making unauthorized use of our technology could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our brand and the proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under the intellectual property laws of the United States and, potentially in the future, foreign jurisdictions so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information. Although we owned one registered trademark in the United States as of December 31, 2019, we hold no issued patents and therefore would not be entitled to exclude or prevent our competitors from using our proprietary technology, methods and processes to the extent independently developed by our competitors.

We rely primarily on trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements with our business partners, employees, consultants, advisors, customers and other current or prospective partners in our efforts to protect our proprietary technology, confidential information, processes, methods, and intellectual property. These confidentiality agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or the unauthorized use of our technology, and it may be possible for unauthorized parties to copy our software or other proprietary technology or information, or to develop similar software independently without our having an adequate remedy for unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in these cases, we would not be able to assert any trade secret rights against those parties. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

 

36


Table of Contents

In addition, the laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property and other proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. To the extent we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying, transfer and use of our proprietary technology or information may increase.

We cannot be certain that our means of protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology. If we fail to meaningfully protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.

We may become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act, claims brought by our customers in connection with commercial disputes or employment claims made by our current or former employees. Litigation might result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources, which might seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Insurance might not cover such claims, might not provide sufficient payments to cover all the costs to resolve one or more such claims, and might not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, potentially harming our business, financial position, and results of operations.

We use open source software in our platform, which could negatively affect our ability to sell our services or subject us to litigation or other actions.

We rely on open source software in our proprietary platforms and we expect to continue to rely on open source software in our platform in the future. The terms of certain open source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our platforms. Certain open source projects also include other open source software and there is a risk that those dependent open source libraries may be subject to inconsistent licensing terms. This could create further uncertainties as to the governing terms for the open source software. Moreover, we cannot ensure that we have not incorporated and are currently relying on additional open source software in our platform in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of the applicable license or our current policies and procedures. Although we employ open source software license screening measures, if we were to combine our proprietary software platform with open source software in a certain manner we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary platform, which could allow our customers and competitors to freely use such software solutions without compensation to us. Additionally, we may from time to time face claims from third parties: claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the open source software or derivative works that we developed using such software, which could include our proprietary source code, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could result in litigation and we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, required to comply with onerous conditions or restrictions, required to make our proprietary source code for our platform and any modifications and derivative works developed using such open source software generally available at no cost, purchase a costly license or cease offering the implicated services unless and until we can re-engineer them to avoid use of the open source software in dispute, which could disrupt the business dependent on the affected platforms. This re-engineering process could require significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete it successfully. In addition to risks related to license requirements, use of certain open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide

 

37


Table of Contents

warranties or controls on the origin of software. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership rights in open source software against companies that incorporate it into their products and the licensors of such open source software provide no warranties or indemnities with respect to such claims. As a result, we and our customers could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Some open source projects have known vulnerabilities and architectural instabilities and are provided on an “as-is” basis which, if not properly addressed, could negatively affect the performance of our platform. Any of these risks could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and if not addressed, could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our brand is integral to our success. If we fail to effectively maintain, promote, and enhance our brand, our business and competitive advantage may be harmed.

We believe that maintaining, promoting and enhancing the Olo brand is critical to expanding our business. Maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our ability to continue to provide high-quality, well-designed, useful, reliable, and innovative modules, which we may not do successfully in the future.

Errors, defects, security incidents, disruptions, or other performance problems with our platform, including with third-party applications, services, or partners, may harm our reputation and brand. We may introduce new modules or terms of service that our customers or consumers do not like, which may negatively affect our brand. Additionally, if our customers or consumers have a negative experience using our modules or third-party solutions integrated with our platform, such an experience may affect our brand, especially as and if we continue to attract multi-location restaurant customers to our platform.

We receive significant media coverage in the United States. Any unfavorable media coverage or negative publicity about our company, for example, the quality and reliability of our platform, our privacy and security practices or the loss or misuse of our customer data or consumers’ personal information, our platform changes, litigation, or regulatory activity, or regarding the actions of our partners or our customers, could seriously harm our reputation. Such negative publicity could also adversely affect the size, demographics, engagement, and loyalty of our customers, and result in decreased revenue, which could seriously harm our business.

We believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. In addition to our ability to provide reliable and useful modules at competitive prices, successful promotion of our brand will depend on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. While we primarily market our platform through direct sales efforts, our platform is also marketed through a number of free traffic sources, including customer referrals and word-of-mouth. Our efforts to market our brand have involved significant expenses, which we intend to increase, and as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Our marketing spend may not yield increased revenue, and even if it does, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building and maintaining our brand.

Activities of customers or partners or the content of our customers’ websites or mobile applications could damage our brand, subject us to liability, and harm our business and financial results.

Our terms of service and acceptable use policy prohibit our customers and partners from using our platform to engage in illegal or otherwise prohibited activities and our terms of service and acceptable use policy permit us to terminate a customer’s or partner’s account if we become aware of such use. Customers or partners may nonetheless engage in prohibited or illegal activities, which could

 

38


Table of Contents

subject us to civil or governmental liability or enforcement. We do not proactively monitor or review the appropriateness of the content of our customers’ websites or mobile applications and we do not have control over customer activities. The safeguards we have in place may not be sufficient for us to avoid liability, including through litigation, or avoid harm to our brand, especially if such inappropriate or illegal use is high profile, which could adversely affect our business and financial results. In addition, if we expand internationally, we may be subject to similar actions in foreign jurisdictions alleging that customers’ store content violates laws in foreign jurisdictions.

Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy, or reductions in digital ordering transaction volume or technology spending, could limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our results of operations.

Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our customers and potential customers. Negative conditions in the general economy both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, decreases in restaurant and digital ordering spending financial and credit market fluctuations, international trade relations, political turmoil, natural catastrophes, warfare and terrorist attacks on the United States, Canada, or elsewhere, could cause a reduction in customer locations and digital ordering transaction volumes, a decrease in business investments, including spending on technology, and negatively affect the growth of our business.

In addition, we are heavily reliant on the restaurant, food, and delivery industries and any downturn or fundamental shift in those industries could significantly impact our results. Reports, whether true or not, of foodborne illnesses and injuries caused by food tampering have severely injured the reputations of participants in the food business and could do so in the future. The potential for acts of terrorism on the United States’ food supply also exists and, if such an event occurs, it could harm our business and results of operations. In addition, reports of foodborne illnesses or food tampering could, as a result of negative publicity about the restaurant industry, harm our business and results of operations.

In addition, the increased pace of consolidation in certain industries may result in reduced overall spending on our platform and modules. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability, or recovery, generally or within any particular industry.

Increases in food, labor, and occupancy costs could adversely affect results of operations.

Our financial success is dependent, in part, on the ability of our restaurant customers to increase digital ordering and maintain profitability. These customers may experience increased operating costs, including as a result of changes to food, labor, occupancy, insurance, and supply costs, and they may be unable to recover these costs through increased menu prices. Various factors beyond our control, including government regulations relating to independent contractor classifications and minimum wage increases, may affect the total cost of digital food orders to consumers. If our current or future customers are unable to maintain or increase digital orders, or maintain profitability, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

We may make acquisitions or enter into joint ventures or other partnerships, which could divert management’s attention, result in operating difficulties and dilution to our shareholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial position.

From time to time, we may evaluate potential strategic acquisition, joint venture or partnership opportunities. Any transactions that we enter into could be material to our financial condition and

results of operations. The process of acquiring and integrating another company or technology could create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Acquisitions and other partnerships involve a number of risks, such as:

 

   

diversion of management time and focus from operating our business;

 

   

use of resources that are needed in other areas of our business;

 

   

in the case of an acquisition, implementation or remediation of controls, procedures, and policies of the acquired company;

 

   

in the case of an acquisition, difficulty integrating the accounting systems and operations of the acquired company and maintaining the quality and security standards consistent with our brand, including potential risks to our corporate culture;

 

   

coordination of product, engineering, and selling and marketing functions, including difficulties and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy services and platform and hosting infrastructure of the acquired company and difficulty converting the customers of the acquired company onto our platform and contract terms, including disparities in the revenues, licensing, support, or professional services model of the acquired company;

 

   

in the case of an acquisition, retention and integration of employees from the acquired company;

 

   

unforeseen costs or liabilities, including potential legal liability for violations of applicable law or industry rules and regulations arising from prior or ongoing acts or omissions by the acquired company or partner that are not discovered by due diligence during the acquisition or partnership process;

 

   

adverse effects to our existing business relationships with partners and customers as a result of the acquisition or joint venture;

 

   

the possibility of adverse tax consequences;

 

   

litigation or other claims arising in connection with the acquired company or partner; and

 

   

in the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political, and regulatory risks associated with specific countries.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Acquisitions and investments may also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, which could adversely affect our share price, or result in issuances of securities with superior rights and preferences to our common stock, or the incurrence of debt with restrictive covenants that limit our future uses of capital in pursuit of business opportunities.

We may not be able to identify acquisition or investment opportunities that meet our strategic objectives, or to the extent such opportunities are identified, we may not be able to negotiate terms with respect to the acquisition or investment that are acceptable to us. At this time we have made no commitments or agreements with respect to any such material transactions.

We rely on software licensed from, and services rendered by, third parties in order to provide our modules and run our business.

We rely on software licensed from, and services rendered by, third parties in order to provide our modules and run our business. Third-party software and services may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use, or any failures of, third-party software or services could result in delays in our ability to provide our modules or run our business until equivalent software or services are developed by us or, if available, identified, obtained and integrated, which could be costly and time-consuming and may not result in an equivalent module, any of which could cause an adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, customers could assert claims against us in connection with such service disruption or cease conducting business with us altogether. Even if not successful, a claim brought against us by any of our customers would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend and could seriously damage our reputation and brand, making it harder for us to sell our modules.

Our pricing decisions and pricing models may adversely affect our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

In 2015 and 2017, we launched our Dispatch and Rails modules, respectively, and in 2016 we began to offer a transactional-based pricing model for our Ordering module. As a result, we have limited experience determining the optimal prices for our modules and may be unable to convert existing customers from a flat-fee model to our transactional based pricing models. We have changed our pricing model from time to time and expect to do so in the future or sell new modules. However, given our limited experience with selling new modules, it may turn out that the new pricing models, or the pricing for any other modules we may develop, is not optimal, which may result in our modules not being profitable or not gaining market share. As competitors introduce new solutions that compete with ours, especially in the digital ordering and delivery spaces where we face significant competition, we may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing models that we have used historically. Pricing decisions and pricing models may also impact the mix of adoption among our modules and negatively impact our overall revenue. Moreover, restaurant brands may be sensitive to price increases or to the prices offered by competitors. As a result, in the future we may be required to reduce our prices, which could adversely affect our revenue, profitability, financial position, and cash flows.

Provisions of our financial instruments may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.

We currently have a credit facility, which requires us, and any debt instruments we may enter into in the future may require us, to comply with various covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:

 

   

dispose of or encumber assets;

 

   

complete mergers or acquisitions;

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

pay dividends or make other distributions to holders of our shares;

 

41


Table of Contents
   

make specified investments;

 

   

change certain key management personnel;

 

   

engage in any business other than the businesses we currently engage in; and

 

   

engage in transactions with affiliates.

These restrictions could inhibit our ability to pursue our business strategies. If we default under our credit facility, and such event of default is not cured or waived, the lender could terminate commitments to lend and cause all amounts outstanding with respect to the debt to be due and payable immediately. Our assets and cash flow may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments if some or all of these instruments are accelerated upon a default.

We may also incur additional indebtedness in the future. The instruments governing such indebtedness could contain provisions that are as, or more, restrictive than our existing debt instruments. If we are unable to repay, refinance, or restructure our indebtedness when payment is due, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness, as applicable, or force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Changes in our effective tax rate or tax liability may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our effective tax rate could increase due to several factors, including:

 

   

changes in the relative amounts of income before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

 

   

changes in tax laws, tax treaties, and regulations or the interpretation of them, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act;

 

   

changes to our assessment about our ability to realize our deferred tax assets that are based on estimates of our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic and political environments in which we do business;

 

   

the outcome of current and future tax audits, examinations, or administrative appeals; and

 

   

limitations or adverse findings regarding our ability to do business in some jurisdictions.

Any of these developments could adversely affect our results of operations.

We could be required to collect additional sales taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities that may increase the costs our customers would have to pay for our modules and adversely affect our results of operations.

An increasing number of states have considered or adopted laws that attempt to impose tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies. Additionally, the Supreme Court of the United States recently ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. et al, or Wayfair, that online sellers can be required to collect sales and use tax despite not having a physical presence in the buyer’s state. In response to Wayfair, or otherwise, states or local governments may adopt, or begin to enforce, laws requiring us to calculate, collect, and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdictions. A successful assertion by one or more states requiring us to collect taxes where we presently do not do so, or to collect more taxes in a

 

42


Table of Contents

jurisdiction in which we currently do collect some taxes, could result in substantial tax liabilities, including taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest. The imposition by state governments or local governments of sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state sellers could also create additional administrative burdens for us, put us at a competitive disadvantage if they do not impose similar obligations on our competitors, and decrease our future sales, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

As of December 31, 2018, we had net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $48.6 million and $39.9 million, respectively, which may be available to offset taxable income in the future. Our U.S. federal NOL carryforwards generated prior to 2018 will expire if not utilized prior to 2038. Under the Tax Cut and Jobs Acts, U.S. federal NOLs incurred in tax years ending after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of federal NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, is limited. In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change,” as defined under Section 382 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs to offset future taxable income. We may experience a future ownership change, including, potentially, in connection with this offering, under Section 382 of the Code that could affect our ability to utilize the NOLs to offset our income. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities, including for state tax purposes. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of the NOLs reflected on our balance sheet, even if we attain profitability, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported results of operations and could affect the reporting of transactions already completed before the announcement of a change.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates and judgments involve revenue recognition, and the valuation of our stock-based compensation awards, including the determination of fair value of our common stock, among others.

Table of Contents

Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over our financial reporting process. If we are unable to remediate this material weakness, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We identified a material weakness in our internal control over our financial statement close process specifically related to an insufficient number of qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel with an appropriate level of experience, insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, and the lack of properly designed controls related to the adoption and implementation of new revenue recognition standards under ASC 606. These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our financial results that would not be prevented or detected, and accordingly, we determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness.

We are working to remediate this material weakness through the development and implementation of processes and controls over the financial reporting process. Specifically, we have:

 

   

engaged external resources to assist with remediation efforts and internal control execution as well as to provide additional training to existing personnel; and

 

   

hired additional internal resources with appropriate knowledge and expertise to effectively operate financial reporting processes and internal controls.

While we have designed and are implementing new controls to remediate this material weakness, they have not operated for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate the material weakness has been remediated. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness we identified or avoid the identification of additional material weaknesses in the future. If the steps we take do not remediate the material weakness in a timely manner, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that this control deficiency or others could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Furthermore, investors’ perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm our stock price.

As a result of being a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

We are required, pursuant to Section 404 to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our

 

44


Table of Contents

internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We have recently commenced the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, but we may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing, and any required remediation in a timely fashion once initiated. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expenses and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and compile the system and process documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404.

During the evaluation and testing process of our internal controls, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to certify that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. As we have had a material weakness in the past, any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines we have a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

We may require additional capital, which additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings and sales of our platform. We cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business, which may require us to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to invest in future growth opportunities, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity securities, stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of our common stock and diluting their interests.

We recognize revenue from customer subscriptions over the term of the subscription agreement and, therefore, a significant downturn in our business may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.

We recognize revenue from subscription agreements monthly over the terms of these agreements, which is typically three years or longer. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we

 

45


Table of Contents

report in each quarter is generated from customer agreements entered into during previous periods. Consequently, a decline in new subscriptions or renewed subscriptions in any one quarter may not impact our financial performance in that quarter, but might negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. If a number of contracts expire and are not renewed in the same quarter, our revenue may decline significantly in that quarter and subsequent quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant declines in sales of our platform or modules may not be reflected in our short-term results of operations.

We experience significant seasonal fluctuations in our financial results, which could cause our stock price to fluctuate.

Our business is highly dependent on the behavior patterns of restaurant brands and consumers. We may experience a relative increase or decrease in the use of our Ordering, Rails and Dispatch modules depending on the season and customer type, which may be difficult to assess. Additionally, our revenue can also be impacted by sales cycles and seasonality, which vary depending on customer type. Finally, even after we have executed a contract with a customer, deployment of our platform and the related modules is typically lower than average in the fourth quarter. As a result, seasonality will likely cause fluctuations in our financial results on a quarterly basis, and other seasonality trends may develop may similarly impact our results of operation.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and may fluctuate or decline substantially as a result of a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations;

 

   

variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts;

 

   

changes in the pricing of our modules;

 

   

changes in our projected operating and financial results;

 

   

changes in laws or regulations applicable to our platform and modules;

 

   

announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions, or new offerings;

 

   

our involvement in litigation;

 

   

future sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders, as well as the anticipation of lock-up releases;

 

   

significant data breaches, disruptions to or other incidents involving our software;

 

   

changes in senior management or key personnel;

 

   

the trading volume of our common stock;

 

   

changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our markets; and

 

   

general economic and market conditions.

 

46


Table of Contents

Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory, and market conditions, may also negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In addition, technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial expenses and divert our management’s attention.

No public market for our common stock currently exists, and an active public trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.

No public market for our common stock currently exists. An active public trading market for our common stock may not develop following the completion of this offering or, if developed, it may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds to us from this offering and may not use them effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.

We will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds to us from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, our ultimate use may vary substantially from our currently intended use. Investors will need to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of proceeds. Pending use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities, such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government that may not generate a high yield for our stockholders. If we do not use the net proceeds that we receive in this offering effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be harmed, and the market price of our common stock could decline.

Future sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering, including sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Many of our existing equity holders have substantial unrecognized gains on the value of the equity they hold based upon the price of this offering, and therefore they may take steps to sell their shares or otherwise secure the unrecognized gains on those shares. We are unable to predict the timing of or the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.

All of our directors and officers and the holders of substantially all of our capital stock and securities convertible into our capital stock are subject to lock-up agreements that restrict their ability to transfer shares of our capital stock for      days from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may, in their sole discretion, permit our stockholders who are subject to these lock-up agreements to sell shares prior to the

 

47


Table of Contents

expiration of the lock-up agreements, subject to applicable notice requirements. If not earlier released, all of the shares of common stock sold in this offering will become eligible for sale upon expiration of the      -day lock-up period, except for any shares held by our affiliates as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

In addition, there were                shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of                , 2020. We intend to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or other equity incentives we may grant in the future, for public resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The shares of common stock will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent such options are exercised, subject to the lock-up agreements described above and compliance with applicable securities laws.

Further, based on shares outstanding as of                , 2020, holders of approximately                 shares, or     % of our capital stock after the completion of this offering, will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering the sale of their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders.

Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

Excluding any shares that may be purchased in this offering, our officers and directors, together with holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock before this offering and their respective affiliates, will beneficially own approximately     % of our common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders will continue to have an influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of these stockholders may not be the same as or may even conflict with your interests. For example, these stockholders could attempt to delay or prevent a change in control of the company, even if such a change in control would benefit our other stockholders, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of the company or our assets and might affect the prevailing price of our common stock. The significant concentration of stock ownership may negatively impact the price of our common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans, or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our equity incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in companies, products or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock to decline.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, the market price, and trading volume of our common stock could decline.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock following the completion of this offering will be heavily influenced by the way analysts interpret our financial information and other disclosures. We do not have control over these analysts. If few securities analysts commence

 

48


Table of Contents

coverage of us, or if industry analysts cease coverage of us, our stock price would be negatively affected. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, downgrade our common stock, or publish negative reports about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price to decline and could decrease the trading volume of our common stock.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares of common stock you purchase in this offering.

The initial public offering price of our common stock will be substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of $         per share, or $         per share if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, representing the difference between our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the sale of common stock in this offering and the assumed public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. See the section titled “Dilution.”

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future and, as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, you may need to rely on sales of our common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on your investment.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make our common stock less attractive to investors. In addition, if we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering; (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the last

 

49


Table of Contents

day of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of June 30 of such fiscal year.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future results of operations may not be as comparable to the results of operations of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Our management team has limited experience managing a publicly-traded company, interacting with public company investors and securities analysts, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. These new obligations and constituents require significant attention from our management team and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of                and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as they will be in effect upon the completion of this offering, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include provisions that:

 

   

authorize our board of directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, shares of undesignated preferred stock with terms, rights, and preferences determined by our board of directors that may be senior to our common stock;

 

   

require that any action to be taken by our stockholders be affected at a duly called annual or special meeting and not by written consent;

 

   

specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer;

 

50


Table of Contents
   

establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors;

 

   

establish that our board of directors is divided into three classes, with each class serving three-year staggered terms;

 

   

prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors;

 

   

provide that our directors may be removed for cause only upon the vote of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding shares of voting stock;

 

   

provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum; and

 

   

require the approval of our board of directors or the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding shares of voting stock to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any “interested” stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an “interested” stockholder. Any of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and they could deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you would receive a premium for your shares of our common stock in an acquisition.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, to the extent enforceable, the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which will restrict our stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as will be in effect upon the completion of this offering, will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of a fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our amended and restated bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The provisions would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Delaware of the enforceability of such exclusive forum provision.

These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees. If a court

 

51

were to find either choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. For example, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware recently determined that the exclusive forum provision of federal district courts of the United States of America for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act is not enforceable. However, this decision may be reviewed and ultimately overturned by the Delaware Supreme Court. If this ultimate adjudication were to occur, we would enforce the federal district court exclusive forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $        million (or approximately $        million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock from us and the selling stockholders in full) based on an assumed initial public offering price of $        per share of common stock, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock in this offering by the selling stockholders.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $        per share of common stock, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $        million, assuming the number of shares of common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $        million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $        per share of common stock remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, to create a public market for our common stock, and to facilitate our future access to the capital markets. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds we receive from this offering. However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from this offering to acquire complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. However, we do not have agreements or commitments to enter into any acquisitions at this time.

We will have broad discretion over how to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering. We intend to invest the net proceeds we receive from the offering that are not used as described above in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our loan and security agreement with Pacific Western Bank contains restrictive covenants that prohibit us, subject to certain exceptions, from paying dividends on our common stock, and future debt securities or other financing arrangements could contain similar or more restrictive negative covenants. Any future determination regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, including in our then-existing debt arrangements, capital requirements, business prospects, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering.

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 was $         million, or $         per share of common stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of our shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, after giving effect to (1) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 5,230,827 shares of common stock and (2) the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 90,071 shares of common stock, which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering.

After giving effect to the sale by us of              shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 would have been $         million, or $         per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $         per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $         per share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering. We determine dilution by subtracting the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the initial public offering price per share paid by investors purchasing common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Assumed initial public offering price per share

      $              

Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2019

   $

The dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share of common stock, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $         per share and increase (decrease) the dilution to new investors by $         per share, in each case assuming the number of shares of common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $         per share and increase (decrease) the dilution to new investors by approximately $         per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share of common stock remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Table of Contents

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us in full, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value would be $         per share, and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering would be $         per share.

The following table summarizes, as of December 31, 2019, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as described above, the number of shares of our common stock, the total consideration and the average price per share (1) paid to us by existing stockholders and (2) to be paid by new investors acquiring our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $                 per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Sales by the selling stockholders in this offering will cause the number of shares held by existing stockholders to be reduced to              shares, or     % of the total number of shares of our capital stock outstanding following the completion of this offering, and will increase the number of shares held by new investors to              shares, or     % of the total number of shares of our capital stock outstanding following the completion of this offering.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by new investors and total consideration paid by all stockholders by approximately $         million, assuming that the number of shares of common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The number of shares of common stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 6,406,258 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, and excludes:

 

   

676,409 shares and 1,554,237 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2019 under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2005 Plan, and our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2015 Plan, respectively, with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.48 per share and $29.51 per share, respectively;

 

   

140,198 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options issued after December 31, 2019 pursuant to our 2015 Plan with a weighted-average exercise price of $46.62 per share;

 

   

8,920 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a warrant to purchase Series A-1 Preferred Stock, which will become a warrant to purchase shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering, at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.80 per share; and

 

   

                 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2020 Plan, which will become effective in connection with this offering,

as well as any future increases, including annual automatic evergreen increases, in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder, and any shares underlying outstanding stock awards granted under our 2005 Plan or our 2015 Plan that expire or are repurchased, forfeited, cancelled or withheld, as more fully described in the section titled “Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Plans”.

To the extent that any outstanding options or warrants are exercised or new options are issued under our stock-based compensation plans, or that we issue additional shares of capital stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. If all outstanding options under each of our 2005 Plan and 2015 Plan as of December 31, 2019 were exercised or settled, then our existing stockholders, including the holders of these options, would own     %, and our new investors would own     %, of the total number of shares of our capital stock outstanding following the completion of this offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows of our company as of and for the period presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Our platform powers restaurant brands’ e-commerce operations, enabling restaurants’ digital ordering and delivery, while preserving their direct consumer relationships. Consumers today expect more on-demand convenience and personalization from restaurants, particularly through digital channels, but many restaurants lack the in-house infrastructure and expertise to satisfy this explosive demand in a cost-effective manner. We provide restaurants with a business-to-business-to-consumer, enterprise-grade SaaS platform to manage their complex digital businesses and enable fast and more personalized experiences. Our platform and application programming interfaces, or APIs, seamlessly integrate with a wide range of solutions, unifying disparate technologies across the restaurant ecosystem. Restaurant brands utilize Olo to increase their digital and in-store sales, maximize profitability, establish and maintain direct consumer relationships, and collect, protect, and leverage valuable consumer data. As a result, we nearly doubled the gross merchandise value, or GMV, running through our platform in each of the last five years and reached nearly $4.6 billion in GMV during the year ended December 31, 2019.

We built Olo with the goal of being the leading SaaS platform for the restaurant industry by aligning the solutions we have developed with the needs of our customers. Our platform initially focused on enabling digital ordering, through the deployment of white label e-commerce websites and applications, and tools for digital order management. We then expanded our platform by launching Dispatch, our delivery enablement module, and Rails, our marketplace and channel management module. We believe our solution is the only independent SaaS platform for restaurants to provide seamless digital ordering and efficient delivery enablement, offering centralized management of a restaurant’s entire digital business. The key milestones in our corporate history are the following:

 

   

2005: Founder & CEO Noah Glass accepted $500,000 in Series A funding to start Mobo.

 

   

2008: We raised $5.75 million in Series A-1 funding.

 

   

2010: We renamed our product as Olo and shifted our focus to enterprise customers.

 

   

2012: We raised $5 million in Series B funding.

 

   

2013: We surpassed $50 million in GMV and expanded our executive leadership team.

 

   

2014: We raised $10 million in Series C funding, surpassed $100 million in GMV, and restauranteur Danny Meyer joined our board of directors.

 

   

2015: We launched Dispatch, our first significant product extension.

 

66


Table of Contents
   

2016: We raised $40 million in Series D funding and surpassed $500 million in GMV.

 

   

2017: We launched Rails and surpassed $1 billion in GMV.

 

   

2018: We surpassed $2 billion in GMV.

 

   

2019: We reached nearly $4.6 billion in GMV.

Leading restaurant brands trust Olo’s enterprise-grade platform for its reliability, security, scalability, and interoperability. Our platform integrates with over 100 restaurant technology solutions including point of sale systems, or POS systems, restaurant delivery marketplaces, or marketplaces, delivery service providers, or DSPs, payment processors, user experience, or UX, and user interface, or UI, providers, loyalty programs, and other technology providers. Restaurants rely on our enterprise-grade SaaS platform to power their critically important digital ordering and fulfillment offerings.

We are the exclusive direct digital ordering provider for leading brands across all service models of the restaurant industry, including quick service, fast casual, casual, family, and snack food. Our customers include major publicly traded and marquee private restaurant brands such as             ,             ,             ,                 ,             ,             ,             , and             . As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 300 brand customers representing over 42,000 locations using our platform. Our average initial contract length is three years with a one year auto-renewal period, providing visibility into our future financial performance. Over the last five years, on average nearly 99% of our enterprise brand customers have continued to use our Ordering module each year. Our customers and the success they have had increasing their digital sales volumes are the best reflection of the value of our platform. For example, our customers’ digital same-store sales had increased 44% for the month ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the month ended December 31, 2018.

We have a highly efficient go-to-market model driven by our industry thought leadership, partnership approach to restaurants customers, and experienced enterprise sales and deployment teams. Unlike other enterprise software businesses, where the sales team works to add a single location or division and expand to others, we enter into relationships at the brand’s corporate level and secure exclusivity across all company-owned and franchise locations. This enables us to deploy our modules across all new and existing brand locations without any additional sales costs and upsell new offerings to the brand itself, rather than to each individual location.

We refer to our business model as a transactional SaaS model as it includes both subscription and transaction-based revenue streams, and we designed it to align with our customers’ success. Our model allows our customers to forego the cost of building, maintaining, and securing their own digital ordering and delivery platforms and to retain direct relationships with their consumers while maximizing profitability. Our hybrid-pricing model provides us with a predictable revenue stream and enables us to further grow our revenue as our customers increase their digital order volume. We generate subscription revenue from our Ordering module and transaction revenue from our Rails and Dispatch modules. We charge our customers a fixed monthly subscription fee per restaurant location for access to our Ordering module. In addition, a growing portion of our customers purchase an allotment of monthly orders for a fixed monthly fee and pay us an additional fee for each excess order, which we also consider to be subscription revenue. Our transaction revenue includes revenue generated from our Rails and Dispatch modules. Customers who subscribe to our Rails and Dispatch modules pay a fee on a per transaction basis. In most cases, we also charge marketplaces, channel partners, and other service providers in our ecosystem on a per transaction basis for access to our Rails and Dispatch modules. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, 93.2% and     % of our platform revenue was subscription revenue and 6.8% and     % was transaction revenue, respectively.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Add New Large Multi-Location and High-Growth Restaurant Brands

We believe there is a substantial opportunity to continue to grow our customer base across the U.S. restaurant industry, adding to our approximately 300 existing brands across more than 42,000 active locations. We define active locations as a location where at least one of our modules is deployed. Our active locations increased 19% for the period from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. We intend to continue to drive new customer growth by leveraging our brand and experience within the industry, and expanding our sales and marketing efforts. We have also historically pursued and will continue to target the most well-capitalized, fastest-growing restaurant brands in the industry. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to innovate, the effectiveness and pricing of our new and existing modules, the growth of digital ordering, and the success of our marketing efforts.

Expand Within Our Existing Customer Base

Our large base of enterprise customers and transactional SaaS revenue model represent an opportunity for further revenue expansion from the sale of additional modules, and the addition of new restaurant locations. A key factor to our success in executing our expansion strategy will be our ability to retain our existing and future restaurant customers. Our exclusive, long-term, direct digital ordering contracts with our customers provide us the opportunity to form unique, trusted partnerships with our restaurant brands, further enhancing our ability to satisfy and retain our customers. Our average initial contract length is three years, providing visibility into our future performance. Over the last five years, on average nearly 99% of our enterprise brand customers have continued to use our Ordering module each year.

As of December 31, 2019, approximately 44% of our active customers, which we define as customers who have deployed at least one module, used all three of our available modules. We believe this demonstrates a substantial opportunity to further increase revenue within our existing customer base by expanding and deploying additional modules. We believe that we are well-positioned to upsell our remaining customers, as our modules provide significant value, are simple to add, and operate seamlessly together. In addition, we intend to continue to work with our existing brand customers in implementing their digital strategies, which we expect will promote continued growth.

We work to build relationships with the fastest growing restaurant brands in the industry, enabling us to grow our revenue as our customers scale their locations. As our customers expand locations, we are well positioned to expand to new locations beyond the existing 42,000 active locations that we serve. Our contracts with our customers provide that our modules are implemented

Table of Contents

across an entire restaurant chain, growing as our customers expand locations. Our ability to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our platform, competition, pricing, and overall shift in the market to digital ordering and delivery.

Enable Higher Transaction Volume

Transaction revenue will continue to be an important source of our growth. We intend to continue to work with our existing restaurant customers to enable higher transaction volume at their locations, which may enable us to generate additional transaction revenue. As e-commerce grows to represent a larger share of total off-premise food consumption, we expect to significantly benefit from this secular trend as we capture a portion of this increased e-commerce order volume. Not only does our software create the opportunity to drive more orders for our customers, but we also expect that the industry’s secular tailwinds will help increase transaction order volume as more consumers order food for off-premise consumption. We evaluate our ability to drive increased transaction revenue by measuring digital same-store sales growth for our customers. Our customers’ digital same-store sales had increased 44% for the month ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the month ended December 31, 2018. We measure digital same-store sales by measuring the GMV for a given active restaurant brand location as compared to the GMV for the equivalent monthly period in the prior year. To determine same-store sales, we exclude locations that were not active in either the prior or current period. We believe that digital same-store sales growth is reflective of the future revenue opportunity inherent in our transactional SaaS revenue model. In addition, as we continue to expand our product offerings and improve our current software, we also believe that we may be able to increase our share of the transaction revenue that flows through our platform. Our ability to increase transaction volume is dependent on the continued shift to digital ordering for off-premise food consumption and our ability to capture a meaningful portion of that shift.

Investment in Innovation and Growth

We have invested and intend to continue to invest in expanding the functionality of our current platform and broadening our capabilities to address new market opportunities, particularly around payments, catering, and data analytics. We also intend to continue to invest in enhancing awareness of our brand and developing more modules, features, and functionality that expand our capabilities to facilitate the extension of our platform to new use cases and industry verticals. We believe this strategy will provide new avenues for growth and allow us to continue to deliver differentiated, high-value outcomes to both our customers and stockholders. Specifically, we intend to invest in research and development to expand existing and build new modules, sales and marketing to promote our modules to new and existing customers and in existing and expanded geographies, professional services to ensure the success of our customers’ implementations of our platform, and other operational and administrative functions to support our expected growth and our transition to a public company. We expect our total operating expenses will increase over time and, in some cases, have short-term negative impacts on our operating margin. We also intend to continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions and investments in businesses and technologies to drive product and market expansion. Our future success is dependent, in part, on our ability to successfully develop, market, and sell new and existing modules to new and existing customers.

Grow Our Ecosystem

We plan to expand our current ecosystem of third-party partners to better support our customers. Our platform is highly configurable and deeply embedded into our customers’ disparate existing infrastructures. As a result, it takes our customers on average six months to deploy our solution at a single location and up to nine months to deploy across all locations. Our platform seamlessly integrates with technology providers across the restaurant ecosystem, including most POS

Table of Contents

systems, DSPs, marketplaces, payment processors, and loyalty programs. We believe that we can leverage these unique partnerships to deliver additional value to our customers. We see opportunity to further broaden our partnership group and build upon the integrations we currently offer. We plan to continue to invest and expand our ecosystem of compatible third-party technology providers to allow us to service a broader network of restaurant brands. We believe that these technology partnerships make us a critical component for restaurant brands looking to enhance their digital ordering and delivery platforms. We intend to continue to invest in building functionality that further integrates our platform with additional third-party technology providers, which expands our capabilities and facilitates the extension of our platform to new use cases and industry verticals. Our future success is dependent on our ability to continue to integrate with third-party technology providers in the restaurant ecosystem.

Expand Our Longer-Term Market Opportunity

While we have not made any significant investments in this area to date, we believe there is an opportunity to partner with small and medium businesses to enable their e-commerce presence. Additionally, as many of our customers operate internationally, we believe there is a significant opportunity to expand the usage of our platform outside of the United States. We also believe that our platform can be applied to other commerce verticals beyond the restaurant industry that are undergoing a similar digital transformation to deliver real-time experiences and on-demand fulfillment to consumers. For example, we currently partner with a number of grocery chains who use our Ordering module to help their consumers order ready-to-eat meals and may potentially expand these or other partnerships in the future. We anticipate that our headcount will increase as a result of these initiatives.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue primarily from platform fees and professional services.

Platform

Platform revenue primarily consists of fees that provide customers access to one or more of our modules and standard customer support. Our contracts typically begin with a minimum three-year term and auto-renew on an annual basis thereafter. We bill monthly in arrears. A significant majority of our platform revenue is derived from subscription fees from our Ordering module. Customers with subscriptions to our Ordering module can pay either a monthly flat fee or purchase a minimum, fixed number of monthly orders for a monthly fee once active with a module. Customers who elect the fixed number of monthly orders pay an additional fee for each excess order, which is also treated as subscription revenue.

We also generate platform revenue primarily from transaction revenue from our Rails, Dispatch, and other modules. Customers who subscribe to our Rails and Dispatch modules pay a fee on a per transaction basis. We may also charge third-party marketplaces and other service providers in our ecosystem a per transaction fee for access to our Rails and Dispatch modules.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, 93.2% and    % of our platform revenue was subscription revenue and 6.8% and    % was transaction revenue, respectively.

Professional Services and Other

Professional services and other revenue primarily consists of fees paid to us by our customers for the implementation of our platform. The majority of our professional service fees are billed on a fixed fee basis.

Cost of Revenue

Platform

Platform cost of revenue primarily consists of costs directly related to our platform services, including expenses for customer support and infrastructure personnel, including salaries, taxes, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, which we refer to as personnel costs, third-party software licenses, hosting and data center related costs, and allocated overhead. We expect platform cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in order to support additional customer and transaction volume growth on our platform and decline as a percent of revenue over time.

Professional Services and Other

Professional services and other cost of revenue primarily consists of the personnel costs of our deployment team associated with delivering these services and allocated overhead.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, has been, and will continue to be, affected by various factors, including revenue fluctuations, our mix of revenue associated with various modules, the timing and amount of investments in personnel, expanded hosting capacity for our modules, and third-party licensing costs.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering and product development personnel costs and allocated overhead costs. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in the near term as we hire additional personnel and continue to make investments to innovate our platform and add additional modules.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and contractor fees for finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and other administrative functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses include travel-related expenses and allocated overhead. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis and as a percent of revenue in the near-term. Following the completion of this offering, we expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of sales, marketing, and other personnel costs, commissions, general marketing and promotional activities, and allocated overhead costs. Sales commissions earned by our salesforce are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing by expanding our

go-to-market activities, hiring additional sales representatives, and sponsoring additional marketing events and trade shows. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis and as a percent of revenue.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings under our outstanding debt facility. In 2018, we amended our loan agreement for our revolving line of credit. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consists primarily of income earned on our money-market funds in cash and cash equivalents.

Change in Fair Value of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of December 31, 2018, our principal source of liquidity was cash totaling $9.6 million, which was held for working capital purposes, as well as the available balance of our revolving line of credit, described further below.

 

76


Table of Contents

We have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity securities and borrowings under our credit facility. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our outstanding credit facility will be sufficient to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to our obligation to repay any remaining balance under our credit facility, our platform revenue growth rate, receivable and payable cycles, the timing and extent of investments in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative.

Credit Facility

We are party to an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Western Bank, or the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, for a revolving line of credit, or the credit facility. Under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, effective February 11, 2020, we can borrow up to $35.0 million under a formula revolving line of credit, of which $25.0 million became available to us immediately on the agreement date. An additional $10.0 million will become available under the credit facility upon our achievement of revenue of at least $75.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The amount available to us at any time is the lesser of (A) $25.0 million (or $35.0 million if revenue targets are achieved) or (B) five times our previous month’s recurring revenue. We can also borrow up to $5.0 million under a non-formula revolving line with aggregate borrowings under the formula and non-formula revolving line not to exceed $25.0 million (or $35.0 million if revenue targets are achieved). Advances under the formula revolving line of credit bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.20% above Pacific Western Bank’s prime rate then in effect; or (B) 4.50%. Advances under the non-formula revolving line of credit bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.75% above Pacific Western Bank’s prime rate then in effect; or (B) 5.00%. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears. We may prepay advances under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, and the credit facility matures on February 11, 2022. Our obligations under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. As of December 31, 2018, we had $3.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

The credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that require Pacific Western Bank’s consent to, among other things, merge or consolidate or acquire assets outside the ordinary course of business, make investments, incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness of others, pay dividends and redeem and repurchase our capital stock, enter into transactions with affiliates outside the ordinary course of business, and create liens on our assets. We are also required to comply with certain minimum EBITDA and minimum revenue covenants. We are in compliance with these covenants and would have been in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2019.

The credit facility also contains events of default that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, insolvency defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness and material obligations, judgment defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, and a material adverse change default. Any default that is not cured or waived could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the credit facility, an increase in the applicable interest rate under the credit facility to a per annum rate equal to 5.00% above the applicable interest rate, and would permit Pacific Western Bank to exercise remedies with respect to all of the collateral that is securing the credit facility.

The Amended Loan and Security Agreement will continue in full force and effect for so long as any obligations remain outstanding thereunder, provided, that, Pacific Western Bank has the right to terminate its obligation to make further advances to us immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default. We may terminate the formula revolving line or the non-formula revolving line at any time prior to the maturity date, upon two business days written notice to Pacific Western Bank, at which time all then outstanding obligations arising under the

Amended Loan and Security Agreement, including any unpaid interest thereon, will accelerate and become immediately due and payable.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million, primarily due to a net loss of $11.6 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $7.1 million and a net decrease in our operating assets and liabilities of $0.3 million. The non-cash adjustments primarily relate to stock-based compensation of $4.2 million, the change in the fair value of warrants of $2.7 million and depreciation of $0.2 million. The net decrease in operating assets and liabilities is primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6.0 million related primarily to increased fees owed to vendors and DSPs of $2.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and an increase in unearned revenue and contract assets of $0.4 million related to the overall growth of our business. These increases are offset by increases in accounts receivable of $4.3 million and deferred contract costs of $0.8 million due to an increase in revenue and increases in prepaid expenses of $1.0 million to support the growth in the business.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to purchases of office equipment and leasehold improvements to support our overall growth strategy and to expand our corporate office.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, reflecting proceeds from borrowings under our line of credit for $3.5 million and the exercise of stock options and warrants, which were $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. To supplement our financial statements, we provide investors with non-GAAP operating loss and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP Operating Loss

Non-GAAP operating loss is defined as operating loss, adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Management believes that it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges and

Table of Contents

non-core operational charges from non-GAAP operating loss because (1) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations; and (2) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of new stock-based awards and secondary transactions. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP operating loss to non-GAAP operating loss for the following periods:

Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow represents net cash used in operating activities, reduced by capital expenditures. Free cash flow is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our liquidity and to generate future operating plans. The reduction of capital expenditures facilitates comparisons of our liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our liquidity. We believe that free cash flow is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in our business in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Nevertheless, our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Further, our definition of free cash flow may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. You should consider free cash flow alongside our other GAAP-based financial performance measures, such as net cash used in operating activities, and our other GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated.

(1)

Interest payments that relate to the credit facility are calculated and estimated for the period presented based on the expected principal balance for each period of $3.5 million and the minimum interest rate of 5%, given that interest on our debt is at the greater of (A) 0.75% above the Prime Rate then in effect; or (B) 5.00%.

(2)

In 2020, we amended our Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Western Bank to increase our available line of credit and extend the maturity date of the facility to February 2022. Our available line of credit was immediately increased to $25 million and can be increased to $35 million upon our achievement of $75 million in revenue during the year ending December 31, 2020. Interest payments on the principal balance outstanding range from a minimum of 4.50% to a maximum of 0.75% above the Pacific Western Bank’s prime rate then in effect (if in excess of 5.00%).

(3)

In 2019, we entered into a new lease for office space in New York City. Our total commitments under this lease are approximately $28.7 million through 2030.

The commitment amounts in the table above are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts. The table does not include obligations under agreements that we can cancel without a significant penalty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Our critical accounting policies are those that materially affect our financial statements and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. A thorough understanding of these critical accounting policies is essential when reviewing our financial statements. We believe that the critical accounting policies listed below are the most difficult management decisions as they involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions as described above.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Topic 606, which we adopted as of January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. We generate revenue from providing our customers access to our platform. We recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This is determined by following a five-step process which includes (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation.

The identification of distinct performance obligations in a contract requires judgment. Our performance obligations primarily include access to our platform and its different modules and implementation services associated with the platform. We believe that non-complex implementation services are generally distinct performance obligations while complex implementation services are generally combined with our platform services into one performance obligation.

The implementation fees in our contracts are variable. We estimate how many months it will take to implement the platform into the customer environment, including time to get restaurant franchise locations onboarded. This estimate is multiplied by the fixed monthly fee to determine the transaction price.

We allocate the transaction price of the contract to each distinct performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting for stock-based compensation requires us to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions. If any of our estimates prove to be inaccurate, our net loss and operating results could be adversely affected.

We estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including (1) the fair value of common stock, (2) the expected stock price volatility, (3) the expected term of the award, (4) the risk-free interest rate, and (5) expected dividends. Effective January 1, 2018, we changed our accounting policy to account for forfeitures as they occur. Prior to January 1, 2018, forfeitures were estimated at the date of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods. These assumptions are estimated as follows:

 

   

Fair value of common stock. Because our common stock is not yet publicly traded, we are required to estimate the fair value of our common stock, as discussed in “Common Stock Valuations” below.

 

   

Expected volatility. Due to the lack of historical and implied volatility data of our common stock, the expected stock price volatility has been estimated based on the average historical stock volatilities of several peer public companies over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. We selected companies with comparable characteristics to us, including enterprise value, risk profiles and position within the industry and with

 

81


Table of Contents
 

historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected term of the stock options. The historical volatility data has been computed using the daily closing prices for the selected companies.

 

   

Expected term. For employee awards granted at-the-money, we estimate the expected term based on the simplified method, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term for each award since our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. For non-employee awards and employee awards granted out-of-the-money, our best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award.

 

   

Risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant, whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock option.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

        Year Ended December 31,      
    2018   2019  

Expected term (years)

  5.53 – 10.0

  45% – 50%  

Risk-free interest rate

  2.85% – 3.19%  

Fair value of common stock

  $23.45 – $43.56  

Common Stock Valuations

The fair value of our shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been determined by the board of directors, with contemporaneous third-party valuations, as there was no public market for our common stock. We believe that our board of directors has the relevant experience and expertise to determine the fair value of our common stock. Given the absence of a public trading market of our common stock, and in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our common stock at each grant date.

These factors include:

 

   

relevant precedent transactions involving our capital stock;

 

   

the liquidation preferences, rights, and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to the common stock;

 

   

our actual operating and financial performance;

 

   

current business conditions and projections;

 

   

our stage of development;

 

   

the likelihood and timing of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying the stock options, such as an initial public offering, given prevailing market conditions;

 

82


Table of Contents
   

any adjustment necessary to recognize a lack of marketability of the common stock underlying the granted options;

 

   

recent secondary stock sales and tender offers;

 

   

the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and

 

   

U.S. and global capital market conditions.

In valuing our common stock, our board of directors determines the value using both the income and the market approach valuation methods. The income approach estimates value based on the expectation of future cash flows that a company will generate. These future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a discount rate based on our weighted average cost of capital, or WACC. To derive our WACC, a cost of equity was developed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and comparable company betas, and a cost of debt was determined based on our estimated cost of borrowing. The costs of debt and equity were then weighted based on our actual capital structure. The market approach estimates value based on a comparison of our company to comparable public companies in a similar line of business and acquisitions in the market. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined and subsequently applied to our financial results to estimate our enterprise value.

Application of these approaches involves the use of estimates, judgment and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses, and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies and the probability of possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our common stock.

For valuations after the completion of this offering, our board of directors will determine the fair value of each share of underlying common stock based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on the date of grant. Future expense amounts for any particular period could be affected by changes in our assumptions or market conditions.

Based on the assumed initial public offering price per share of $            , which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the aggregate intrinsic value of our outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2018 was $            , with $            million related to vested stock options.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

Accounting for warrants requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. If any of our estimates prove to be inaccurate, our net loss and operating results could be adversely affected.

The fair value of the warrants was determined by first estimating the fair value of the enterprise based on recent transactions of the Company’s securities. An Option-Pricing Method, or OPM, was then used to allocate our total equity value to our different classes of equity according to their rights and preferences. This method treats classes having the attributes of common stock and preferred stock securities as call options on the value of the company equity, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of preferred stockholders. Our classes of stock are modeled as a call option that give the owner the right to buy the underlying enterprise value at an exercise price. The Option-Pricing Method requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term, which represents the estimate point for when liquidity will be achieved.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of our recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted, see Note 2 to our financial statements: “Significant Accounting Policies” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure to potential changes in interest rates. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is changing interest rates in connection with the Amended Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Western Bank. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. As of December 31, 2018, advances under the formula revolving line bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.75% above the Prime Rate then in effect; or (B) 5.00%. As of December 31, 2018, we had total outstanding debt of $3.5 million under our line of credit. Based on the amounts outstanding, a 100-basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates over a twelve-month period would result in a change to interest expense of $0.1 million.

Our interest-earning instruments also carry a degree of interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our revenue and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars and are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk. However, to the extent we commence generating revenue outside of the United States that is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our results of operations could be impacted by changes in exchange rates.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and stockholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.

The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to “opt-in” to this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis.

LETTER FROM NOAH GLASS, FOUNDER AND CEO

Hi, I’m Noah Glass, Founder & CEO of Olo. Thank you for reading our prospectus and considering an investment in Olo. I’ve been obsessed with restaurant e-commerce since moving to New York City in 2003. If I could go back in time and go all-in on any one investment knowing what I now know, Olo would be it. As Warren Buffet famously said, referencing my namesake: “Predicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does.”

You cannot ship a hot cup of coffee from a warehouse. That was the original insight that first led me to think about a new model to bring the convenience of e-commerce to the $863 billion restaurant industry. What if you could order and pay for a coffee directly from your mobile phone and have it ready when you got to the restaurant? At Olo, we call that “on-demand commerce”: a new form of e-commerce that allows a consumer to order and pay on-demand and have a made-to-order product prepared just-in-time for real-time pickup or same-hour delivery.

Today, Olo has grown to become the leading cloud-based e-commerce platform for multi-location restaurant brands, enabling nearly $4.6 billion in on-demand commerce in 2019 for a network of over 300 top restaurant brands across more than 42,000 locations.

Olo’s mission is to help our restaurant customers thrive by best meeting the needs of on-demand consumers. Olo is not a marketplace for consumers. We are a software platform for restaurants. Our business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) approach means that we are in true partnership with our restaurant customers. We enable our restaurant customers to better serve their consumers, rather than competing with them for those same consumers. This differentiated market position has enabled us to establish one of the largest restaurant technology ecosystems with over 100 restaurant technology partners that integrate into the Olo platform and add value for our joint restaurant customers.

My fascination with the idea of bringing e-commerce to restaurants began when I first moved to New York City in 2003, carrying a Palm Pilot personal digital assistant. I came to believe that mobile devices would soon become ubiquitous and forever change how consumers conducted commerce with brick and mortar stores. My instinct was informed in equal parts by (1) my first restaurant industry job in 1998, as a pizza delivery driver at Pizzaman in my hometown of Newton, Massachusetts, and (2) spending a large chunk of 2003 and 2004 working in Johannesburg, South Africa with Endeavor (an organization dedicated to fostering high-growth entrepreneurship around the globe), where I first met mobile phone software developers and saw the inevitability of smartphones and their potential impact for e-commerce in the restaurant industry. Throughout 2004, I worked with a small team of engineers based in Johannesburg to build a working prototype that enabled a simple mobile Internet device to construct and place a basic order from a limited menu and have that order ping a rudimentary point-of-sale, or POS, application. Upon seeing the demo and hearing my business plan, my mentor David Frankel, a successful Internet entrepreneur and investor, asked me if I had enough confidence in this idea to withdraw my admission to Harvard Business School and quit my job to pursue Olo in exchange for seed funding. It was a “burn the boats” prerequisite, with David testing my conviction level to make Olo my only path forward. I knew immediately that it was the right time to pursue the Olo opportunity. Smartphone mass adoption would happen exactly once in human history. This was the opportunity to plant a stake in the ground. Olo was born on June 1, 2005.

We live our values at Olo. Our three primary values are:

 

  1.

Family First: Our families make us who we are and are who we work for every day. Olo is our second family. This focus on family and a balanced approach to work and family life has enabled Olo to recruit, attract, and retain a world-class team. Olo has indeed become

 

86


Table of Contents
  my second family. The initial twelve Olo employees have been together for over a decade. The relatively “new” members of the executive team joined when we truly hit market-product fit in 2013 and have been with the company ever since, making our average executive tenure over seven years. We have all built this company together, having one another’s backs, fighting through setbacks, and laughing all the way.

 

  2.

Drive: As a high school All American and four-year starting defenseman for Yale Men’s Lacrosse, I introduced Team Olo to the concept of a “groundball” and we speak often of having a “groundball mentality.” A groundball is not like a jump ball in basketball, which is disproportionately won by the player who is the tallest or has the highest vertical leap. Instead, a groundball transcends physicality and requires both skill and creativity at peak physical intensity in order to win. We celebrate that grit at Olo. We dig deep to do what others are unwilling or unable to do.

 

  3.

Excelsior: The New York state motto meaning “ever upward” in Latin. We are constantly striving for self and company improvement at all levels. We do not get comfortable. We do not stop. This manifests in a greater desire to improve our community and our world, not just our own financial performance. To this end, we are incredibly proud of our long-standing affiliation with Share Our Strength: the parent organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger in America. We seek to be an advocate for the restaurant industry as its most restaurant-aligned technology partner.

Restaurants are an incredibly complex type of retailer. They are a mashup of a showroom and a factory, making e-commerce for restaurants exponentially more difficult than typical e-commerce. Our restaurant customers serve perishable, made-to-order products just-in-time in real-time with modifications, substitutions, and combinations, manifesting in a scale of permutations that no non-restaurant retailer has ever seen. Add to that the uphill battle that we faced in our efforts to integrate legacy software and POS systems that were coded pre-Internet with our cloud-based platform, retrofitting a brick and mortar store for an on-demand experience. We knew that building an enterprise-grade e-commerce software platform with the security and robust features restaurants need would be one of the most challenging vertical e-commerce developments and took an “if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere” approach that has served us well over the years.

Consumers place a premium on food convenience. Consumers are outsourcing food preparation more than ever, with the restaurant industry recently surpassing the grocery industry in aggregate consumer spending for the first time in history. Today, 63% of restaurant transactions were for off-premise consumption (with delivery representing only 3%) and leaving just 37% of restaurant meals consumed at restaurants. Those numbers are shocking even to restaurant industry insiders and they represent the voracious consumer appetite for on-demand commerce at restaurants.

The $863 billion restaurant industry is facing new and significant challenges with pressured growth and margins as it adapts to e-commerce. Restaurant occupancy and labor costs have never been higher. Consumer expectations have never been greater. And while indirect sales channels have driven higher order volume, they capture significant economics and seek to control the consumer relationship, just as online travel agents did in the travel industry. As an executive from a popular burger chain recently put it: “winter is coming.”

We believe that our success is aligned with the long-term success of the restaurants we serve. In January of this year, Nation’s Restaurant News’ named me as the #1 most powerful restaurant executive in its 2020 Power List. I was deeply humbled and honored by this recognition of Olo’s important role as a digital backbone for the restaurant industry. We know that Olo’s responsibility to perform has never been greater. We built Olo to be aligned with our restaurant customers and to

 

87

help them continue to thrive. Olo’s success helps to preserve the 15 million jobs that the restaurant industry now represents and the families that depend on those paychecks. When we come to work each day, it is with the singular purpose of helping our customers perform better for their employees, consumers, and stakeholders.

If you believe that consumers like restaurant food and e-commerce, you should believe in Olo’s ongoing success. We are the leading cloud-based e-commerce platform for multi-location restaurant brands. Our first-scaler advantage enabled us to build industrywide solutions like Dispatch (enable same-hour delivery-as-a-service across the nation) and Rails (aggregate orders and manage yield across restaurant marketplaces), which are already adopted by 44% of our restaurant customers because these products met their needs and the shifting demands of consumers. However, as we model our opportunity 15 years into our journey, we believe there is an incredible opportunity to add more restaurant customers, sales volume, and product offerings to drive more revenue. That’s our not-so-secret formula.

The restaurant industry is our first, not our only vertical. For now, we remain laser-focused on restaurants. However, we believe that the platform we are building for the restaurant industry is ultimately transferable to other retail verticals like the grocery stores, convenience stores, and others that have faced similar struggles adopting e-commerce.

We have miles to go before we sleep. I’ve been running Olo for 15 years. I’d sign on to do it for the next 50 years, if given the chance. I’ve never been more excited about Olo’s opportunity than I am today. Luckily, that has been true each day that I can remember and I’m confident that it will be true for a lifetime of tomorrows.

We would be honored for you to join us on this historic journey.

My best, Noah

BUSINESS

Overview

Olo provides the leading cloud-based e-commerce platform for multi-location restaurant brands.

Our platform powers restaurant brands’ e-commerce operations, enabling restaurants’ digital ordering and delivery, while preserving their direct consumer relationships. Consumers today expect more on-demand convenience and personalization from restaurants, particularly through digital channels, but many restaurants lack the in-house infrastructure and expertise to satisfy this explosive demand in a cost-effective manner. We provide restaurants with a business-to-business-to-consumer, enterprise-grade SaaS platform to manage their complex digital businesses and enable fast and more personalized experiences. Our platform and application programming interfaces, or APIs, seamlessly integrate with a wide range of solutions, unifying disparate technologies across the restaurant ecosystem. Restaurant brands rely on Olo to increase their digital and in-store sales, maximize profitability, establish and maintain direct consumer relationships, and collect, protect, and leverage valuable consumer data. As a result, we nearly doubled the gross merchandise value, or GMV, running through our platform in each of the last five years and reached $4.6 billion in GMV during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The $1.6 trillion food industry is one of the largest consumer markets in the United States. According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurants accounted for $863 billion of that spend in 2019, recently surpassing grocery in aggregate consumer spending. Restaurant spend is expected to grow rapidly to $1.2 trillion by 2030. Growing consumer demand for convenience has made off-premise consumption, which includes take-out, drive-thru, and delivery orders, the single largest contributor to restaurant industry growth. Off-premise consumption accounted for 63% of restaurant orders in 2019, and is expected to contribute 70% to 80% of total restaurant industry growth in the next five years, according to the National Restaurant Association and Cowen Equity Research. Meanwhile, delivery is still nascent and accounted for only approximately 3% of total restaurant orders in 2019. As consumers have become accustomed to the immediate convenience of e-commerce, they are demanding the same digital experience from restaurants, placing significant pressure on restaurants to deploy solutions to remain competitive.

Restaurants are an incredibly complex segment of the retail industry, making their shift to e-commerce especially challenging. The four walls of the restaurant uniquely serve as both the factory and showroom floor: restaurant operators must manage the intricacies of food production and customer service simultaneously while providing the high-quality, consistency, and hospitality that engenders consumer loyalty and trust. Furthermore, restaurants serve food that is perishable, has near infinite configurations, and must be made-to-order for just-in-time consumption. Most restaurant brands do not have the expertise or the resources to develop homegrown solutions to manage e-commerce and are more acutely challenged because their in-store technology is comprised of a fragmented set of legacy solutions, many of which were developed before the internet. At the same time, restaurant delivery marketplaces, or marketplaces, have catalyzed digital demand, but can pose new challenges for restaurant brands through increased complexity, lower long-term profitability, and a disintermediation of the restaurant’s direct relationship with the consumer. Additionally, restaurants face increasing economic pressure with an intensely competitive landscape and rising labor and occupancy costs. Due to its unique complexities and challenges, the restaurant industry has historically been one of the lowest penetrated e-commerce segments of the retail industry at only 10% of sales, according to a report published by Cowen Equity Research in 2019.

Our platform is purpose built to meet these complex needs and align with the interests of the restaurant industry. For over 10 years, we have developed our platform in collaboration with many of

the leading restaurant brands in the United States. We believe our platform is the only independent SaaS platform for restaurants to provide seamless digital ordering and efficient delivery enablement, offering centralized management of a restaurant’s entire digital business. Our platform includes the following core modules:

 

   

Ordering. A fully-integrated, white-label e-commerce solution, enabling consumers to order directly from and pay restaurants via mobile, web, kiosk, voice, and other digital channels.

 

   

Dispatch. A fulfillment solution, enabling restaurants to offer, manages and expand direct delivery while optimizing price, timing, and service quality.

 

   

Rails. A marketplace and channel management solution, allowing restaurants to control and syndicate menu, pricing, location data, and availability, while directly integrating and optimizing orders from third-parties channels into the restaurants’ point-of-sale, or POS, systems.

Leading restaurant brands trust Olo’s enterprise-grade platform for its reliability, security, scalability, and interoperability. Our platform currently handles over 600,000 orders per day and we have invested in our infrastructure in order to ensure it can handle many times that figure. Additionally, both internal and external security experts frequently test our system for vulnerabilities. We have never experienced a material breach of customer or consumer data. Our platform integrates with over 100 restaurant technology solutions including POS systems, marketplaces, delivery service providers, or DSPs, payment processors, user experience, or UX, and user interface, or UI, providers, and loyalty programs.

We are the exclusive direct digital ordering provider for leading brands across all service models of the restaurant industry, including quick service, fast casual, casual, family, and snack food. Our customers include major publicly traded and marquee private restaurant brands such as                ,                ,                 , and                . As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 300 brand customers representing over 42,000 locations using our platform. Our average initial contract length is three years with a one year auto-renewal period, providing visibility into our future financial performance. Our enterprise brands, meaning those brands having 50 or more locations, are also highly loyal. Over the last five years, on average nearly 99% of our enterprise brand customers have continued using our Ordering module each year. Our customers and the success they have had increasing their digital sales volumes are the best reflection of the value of our platform. For example, our customers’ digital same-store sales had increased 44% for the month ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the month ended December 31, 2018.

We have a highly efficient go-to-market model driven by our industry thought leadership, partnership approach with our restaurant customers, and experienced enterprise sales and deployment teams. Unlike other enterprise software businesses, where the sales team works to add a single location or division and expand to others, we enter into relationships at the brand’s corporate level and secure exclusivity across all company-owned and franchise locations. This enables us to deploy our modules across all new and existing brand locations without any additional sales costs, and upsell new offerings to the brand itself, rather than each individual location. As of December 31, 2019, 44% of our customers used all three of our modules, providing a substantial opportunity to upsell our existing customer base.

We refer to our business model as a transactional SaaS model as it includes both subscription and transaction-based revenue streams, and we designed it to align with our customers’ success. Our model allows our customers to forego the cost of building, maintaining and securing their own digital

ordering and delivery solutions and to retain direct relationships with their consumers while maximizing profitability. Our hybrid-pricing model provides us with a predictable revenue stream and enables us to further grow our revenue as our customers increase their digital order volume. We generate subscription revenue from our Ordering module and transaction revenue from our Rails and Dispatch modules. We charge our customers a fixed monthly subscription fee per restaurant location for access to our Ordering module. In addition, a growing portion of our customers purchase an allotment of monthly orders for a fixed monthly fee and pay us an additional fee for each excess order, which we also consider to be subscription revenue. Our transaction revenue includes revenue generated from our Rails and Dispatch modules. Customers who subscribe to our Rails and Dispatch modules pay a fee on a per transaction basis. In most cases, we also charge marketplaces, channel partners, and other service providers in our ecosystem on a per transaction basis for access to our Rails and Dispatch modules. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, 93.2% and     % of our platform revenue was subscription revenue and 6.8% and     % was transaction revenue, respectively.

Our business has experienced rapid growth in a highly capital efficient manner. Since inception 15 years ago, we have raised less than $50.0 million of primary investment capital, net of share repurchases. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we generated revenue of $31.8 million and $        million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of     %. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we generated gross profit of $21.0 million and $        million, respectively, or 66.0% and    % as a percentage of revenue, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we incurred net losses of $11.6 million and $        million, respectively and our operating loss was $8.8 million and $        million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, our non-GAAP operating loss was $4.7 million and $        million, respectively. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information on our non-GAAP metrics.

Industry Background

There are a number of important industry trends driving our market opportunity.

 

   

Shifting consumer behavior towards on-demand and e-commerce convenience. In today’s on-demand economy, consumers expect goods and services to be easily ordered through digital means. According to a 2019 Salesforce.com, Inc. publication, 66% of all consumers cite instant and on-demand fulfillment of purchases as important and approximately 50% say that they will switch brands if a company does not proactively anticipate their needs. We believe these trends will continue to accelerate in the restaurant industry in particular as advances in technology allow restaurants to further reduce friction in digital ordering and fulfillment to further satisfy consumers’ new engagement preferences.

 

   

The restaurant industry is massive and rapidly expanding. The $863 billion restaurant industry is undergoing a dynamic transformation, having just surpassed grocery in aggregate consumer spending for the first time in history. According to the National Restaurant Association, the restaurant industry’s share of the dollars spent on food increased from 25% in 1955 to 51% in 2019. The National Restaurant Association also projects that the restaurant industry will grow to $1.2 trillion by 2030. As the market expands and consumers utilize restaurants more frequently, we expect consumers will continue to demand more convenience and personalization from restaurants.

 

   

Off-premise dining is the main engine of restaurant growth, with pickup continuing to lead. Off-premise dining has continued to grow rapidly, accounting for 63% of U.S. restaurant transactions in 2019, and it is expected to contribute 70 to 80% of total

 

91


Table of Contents
 

restaurant industry growth in the next five years according to the National Restaurant Association. While off-premise consumption is growing rapidly, only approximately 3% of total restaurant orders were fulfilled through delivery in 2018, and 39% and 21% being attributed to take-out and drive-thru, respectively. As consumer behavior continues to shift towards on-demand convenience, off-premise is expected to capture an even larger portion of restaurant spend and drive industry growth. As a result of this growth, 78% of restaurant operators identify off-premise solutions as a strategic priority, according to the State of the Industry Report published by the National Restaurant Association in 2019.

 

   

Digital restaurant ordering is experiencing rapid growth in a shifting landscape. Both direct and indirect digital ordering channels are powering this expansion. Marketplaces created consumer applications to meet the growing demand for convenient restaurant food, helping expand off-premise dining. In addition, major consumer facing platforms are embedding food ordering into products such as maps and search results, making it even more convenient for consumers to place orders from their favorite restaurant brands. These channels are expected to drive the expansion of the restaurant digital ordering market from $         billion in 2019 to $         billion by 2025, according to industry research.

 

   

Restaurants are facing complex challenges and are under significant economic pressure. The restaurant landscape is becoming increasingly dynamic with competition coming from existing restaurant brands and new restaurant brands that frequently have sophisticated digital, marketing, ordering, and distribution strategies. As a result, it is difficult for some restaurants to attract and retain loyal consumers. Restaurant brands are simultaneously facing rising costs, including labor and occupancy costs, while at the same time increasingly sharing their revenue with marketplaces. This dynamic creates urgency for restaurants to adopt cost-effective digital solutions in order to drive margin expansion and incremental sales.

 

   

Restaurant brands must evolve to own digital relationships with their consumers. Like any other retailer, understanding and owning the consumer relationship is vital to restaurants as it allows them to better analyze interactions, customize offerings, and maximize the long-term value of their consumers. However, restaurants risk losing direct consumer relationships if they are heavily reliant on marketplaces, which generally do not provide visibility into who is ordering or enable a restaurant to articulate its unique brand value. Consumers also value this direct and personal connectivity with restaurant brands and we believe consumers would rather interact directly with a brand than through an intermediary.

 

   

E-commerce has substantial opportunity to expand penetration in the restaurant industry. The $863 billion restaurant market in the United States continues to be one of the most underpenetrated in terms of e-commerce at less than 10% of industry sales, according to research published by Cowen Equity Research in 2019. In comparison, sectors such as books and electronics have digital penetration well over 50%. Restaurants are uniquely positioned to benefit from consumers’ demand for digital convenience, but are limited by significant complexities in the restaurant ecosystem, which have slowed penetration to-date.

Complexities of the Current Ecosystem

The key complexities that hinder restaurants’ digital transformation progress include:

POS and Technology Integration

 

   

Multiple platforms within a restaurant. Restaurant brands historically have not standardized the type of technology platforms that must be deployed across their locations. This has led to significant differences in the types of technology that restaurants use across a brand and even within a given restaurant location. Many brands have multiple POS systems, payment processors, and now tablets to manage incoming orders across various marketplaces. In addition, many of these technologies have become deeply entrenched into their operations, making them difficult to replace with more modern solutions.

 

   

Disparate integrations across the ecosystem. Many restaurants have adopted the narrow point solutions that restaurants have adopted do not integrate seamlessly with other systems, such as POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UI and UX providers, and loyalty programs. Restaurant location operators often lack the technical expertise and resources necessary to integrate both legacy and modern technologies.

 

   

Static, legacy software infrastructure. Legacy restaurant systems were not built for modern, cloud–based environments. As a result, many lack the reliability, scalability, and security capabilities that today’s SaaS solutions offer, leaving restaurants and their consumer data vulnerable. Furthermore, brands are unable to access their consumer data, as it resides in different systems and databases that cannot communicate with each other.

Food & Menu Management

 

   

Numerous, highly modifiable menu items. Restaurant menus are inherently complex, highly configurable, and frequently updated for changing consumer preferences, out-of-stock ingredients, or product recalls. In addition, restaurants must ensure menus and pricing are always accurately reflected across their various channels to ensure consumers have the latest information and receive the exact food they order, particularly as food allergies, dietary preferences, and other health issues become more prevalent. This has made it challenging for restaurant brands, who are increasingly expected to offer intuitive digital menus where consumers can add, subtract, or modify a wide variety of ingredients or menu items, creating a nearly infinite number of order permutations.

Order Channels

 

   

Multiple ordering channels. Today’s restaurants need to seamlessly manage on-premise and off-premise operations to ensure they provide the optimal experience to all of their consumers. In-store orders are only one part of the overall operation, as restaurants receive off-premise orders from several different direct and indirect channels, which often require multiple POS systems and tablets at a single location. Food orders can be placed directly through restaurants’ mobile applications or over the phone and indirectly from marketplaces at the same time. Many restaurants are not equipped to balance this on-premise and off-premise dynamic, let alone the direct and indirect channels of ordering.

 

   

Shifting from serial to parallel processing. Restaurants are accustomed to serial order processing, which means that they receive an order from an on-premise consumer and

 

93


Table of Contents
 

fulfill it accordingly. With the rise of off-premise dining and multiple direct and indirect channels for ordering, restaurants increasingly receive multiple orders simultaneously. Legacy restaurant technology is not properly equipped to centralize and track these orders or help restaurants prioritize orders to ensure high quality fulfillment or to provide accurate estimates of when the food will be ready. Restaurants require modernization to better accommodate parallel processing and streamline their operations.

Operations and Logistics

 

   

Complex, on-demand logistics management. A report published by Cowen Equity Research in 2019 projects that the majority of restaurant growth will come from expanded off-premises dining, which we expect will continue to place significant operational burdens on restaurants. Restaurant staff must prepare food at exactly the right time to ensure optimal quality. Restaurants must adapt locations to better accommodate take-out orders and manage multiple DSPs to ensure consumers get their food reliably at a cost-effective price.

Building a Digital Brand and Owning the Consumer Relationship

 

   

Navigating the shift to digital branding. Many restaurants have spent decades building brand equity with their consumers and securing their loyalty. Meanwhile, consumers themselves are seeking direct engagement with brands through digital channels. However, restaurants lack the tools they need to interact and engage with their consumers across digital channels and to foster those direct relationships.

 

   

Inability to access and leverage consumer data. Establishing direct digital relationships enables restaurants to collect data and learn from consumer interactions, evolve their offerings, and drive increased consumer loyalty. However, restaurants’ legacy technologies generally do not have the capabilities to collect, organize, and analyze these consumer data sets. There are also no major customer relationship management solutions built exclusively for the restaurant industry at scale. As a result, restaurants are forced to collect and integrate data from disparate systems, making it almost impossible to draw impactful, data-driven insights.

 

   

Competition for the direct consumer relationship. As marketplaces have scaled rapidly, they have often disintermediated restaurants’ direct consumer relationships. These marketplaces are digitally savvy and specialists at leveraging data to acquire consumers and extract the long-term value of that relationship. Many restaurants do not have the digital aptitude to stay competitive, and are at risk of losing direct contact with their consumers.

Our Platform

We provide the leading cloud-based e-commerce platform for multi-location restaurant brands. Our customers use our software to create unique digital ordering experiences, manage orders across channels, and enable delivery across their restaurant locations.

restaurants to overcome the complexities of building and growing a digital business, own the overall consumer relationship, and scale, secure, and centralize their e-commerce operations with our enterprise-grade technology. The key benefits of our platform include:

Overcome the Complexities of Restaurant E-Commerce Operations

 

   

Utilize Olo as a centralized source of data. Our restaurant brand customers, many of whom leverage multiple technology providers across locations, can manage menus, including menu-item availability, and day-to-day operations with permission-based administration tools and reporting, utilizing Olo as a centralized source of data. Our platform integrates with over 100 restaurant technology solutions across the restaurant ecosystem. These integrations allow us to streamline order processing and fulfillment, and keep information in sync with a variety of POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UX and UI providers, and loyalty programs.

 

   

Source demand across platforms to optimize yield. Our Rails module aggregates demand across marketplaces, allowing our customers to generate more orders through an intuitive, coordinated system. Our customers are able to monitor and parallel process orders across the various channels and more easily and accurately prioritize and fulfill orders. We also help our restaurant brand customers optimize yield during peak periods by turning off different ordering channels as needed to ensure the highest priority items are fulfilled while maximizing profitability.

 

   

Enable and manage a restaurant’s delivery functions across providers. Our Dispatch module enables restaurants to automatically select the optimal delivery provider for an individual order based on dozens of attributes, such as delivery time, order size or value, cost of delivery, or service level, for each individual order at each individual location. Restaurant brands are able to fulfill orders just-in-time to allow for a better consumer experience at a competitive cost.

Enhance and Own the Consumer Experience

 

   

Own the consumer relationship. Our platform enables restaurants to provide individually branded and direct experiences for their consumers across devices through our web and mobile front-end or via customized consumer experiences using our APIs and third-party UI and UX providers. This unique consumer experience extends beyond aesthetic and operative functionality to expanded order offerings like upsell, group ordering, and loyalty programs. With Olo, restaurants know their consumers better and can more effectively meet their needs while maximizing e-commerce results.

 

   

Leverage powerful data and analytics to guarantee the highest quality consumer experience. We enable our customers to collect a significant amount of data that they can use to generate valuable insights into their consumers’ ordering behavior. Restaurant brands and their individual locations can leverage this data to better manage operations, provide consumers with a more personalized experience, and drive incremental sales.

Scale and Secure Operations with Enterprise Grade Technology

 

   

Cloud-native technology ensuring scalability and reliability. Our software infrastructure is cloud-native and highly flexible with the ability to handle large spikes in traffic. Our high-availability, continuously deployed, multi-tenant architecture ensures that all of our restaurants are able to operate with the latest features and the newest

 

96


Table of Contents
 

innovations without any need to patch or upgrade their software. While our platform currently handles over 600,000 orders per day, and we have invested in our infrastructure to handle many multiples of that figure.

 

   

Enterprise-grade Security. Our customers trust our platform with their most sensitive consumer data and many have run penetration tests on our platform to verify that is has robust security capable of protecting their consumer data. We also employ an in-house security team that constantly monitors the platform, testing for and addressing vulnerability.

Our Market Opportunity

We believe our total addressable market opportunity is $11 billion globally based on our current product offerings and focus on enterprise restaurants. To arrive at this figure, we determined the number of enterprise restaurant locations and number of orders that we could generate revenue from on a per location basis. According to a 2019 publication by the NPD Group, there are approximately 300,000 enterprise restaurant locations across the United States. We determined the number of orders per enterprise location, based on industry reports, by dividing their total sales by the average order value in the United States. To determine our opportunity per location, we then multiplied the implied number of orders by the percentage of digital orders, and by our actual average fee per order, and then added our actual annual average subscription fee per location as of December 31, 2019 to get the estimated total annual average revenue per restaurant location. This figure was then multiplied by the number of enterprise locations to arrive at the U.S. estimate. We believe our opportunity outside of the United States is at least as large as our domestic opportunity, implying a total global addressable market of $11 billion.

For the $28 billion total addressable market estimate, we assumed that the per order fees increases as we introduce new products and assume an expansion to small and medium business, or SMB, restaurants representing an estimated additional 400,000 restaurant locations.

Our Growth Strategies

We aim to be the leading e-commerce platform for the restaurant industry. The principal components of our growth strategy are:

 

   

Add new large multi-location and high-growth restaurant brands and scale with them. We believe there is a substantial opportunity to continue to grow our customer base across the U.S. restaurant industry, adding to our approximately 300 existing brands across more than 42,000 active locations. We intend to continue to drive new customer growth by leveraging our brand and experience within the industry, and expanding our sales and marketing efforts. We have also historically pursued and will continue to target the most well-capitalized, fastest growing restaurant brands in the industry. As our restaurant brand customers open new locations, we are well-positioned to organically grow our revenue with little to no incremental sales and marketing costs to target additional locations.

 

   

Upsell existing customers additional modules. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 44% of our customers that have deployed our platform used all three of our available modules. We believe that we are well-positioned to upsell our remaining customers, as our modules provide significant value, are simple to add, operate seamlessly together and improve restaurant brands’ e-commerce capabilities and consumer experience.

 

97


Table of Contents
   

Enable higher transaction volume. We will continue to work with our existing restaurant customers to enable higher transaction volumes at their locations. As e-commerce grows to represent a larger share of total off-premise food consumption, we expect to significantly benefit from this secular trend through increased revenue. As we continue to expand our product offerings and improve our current software, we also believe there is an opportunity to increase our share of the transaction volume that flows through our platform.

 

   

Develop and launch new product offerings. We intend to invest in expanding the functionality of our current platform and broadening capabilities that address new market opportunities, particularly around payments, catering, and data analytics. We believe this strategy will provide new avenues for growth and allow us to continue to deliver differentiated high-value outcomes to both our customers and stockholders.

 

   

Expand our ecosystem. We plan to expand our current ecosystem of developers, user experience designers, and other partners to better support our customers, attract new customers, and strengthen our competitive position. We believe that we can leverage our partnerships with POS systems, marketplaces, DSPs, payment processors, UX and UI providers, and loyalty programs to deliver additional value to our customers.

 

   

Grow our longer-term market opportunity. While we have not made any significant investments in this area to date, we believe there is an opportunity to partner with SMB brands to enable their e-commerce presence. Additionally, as many of our customers operate internationally, we believe there is a robust opportunity to expand their usage of our platform outside of the United States. We also believe that our platform can be applied to other verticals beyond the restaurant industry that are undergoing similar digital transformations. For example, we currently partner with a number of grocery chains who use our software to help their consumers order ready-to-eat meals, and may potentially expand these or other partnerships in the future.

Our Product Modules

The Olo platform provides restaurant brands with the capabilities necessary to develop, provision, and operate world-class, operationally-scalable digital ordering and delivery programs. Our platform provides digital order processing, in-restaurant order management, delivery enablement, and digital channel management features suitable for enterprise, multi-location brands regardless of service model, food type, and scale of operations. We designed our transactional SaaS business model to align with our customers’ success, as it includes both subscription and transaction-based revenue streams. We generate subscription revenue from our Ordering module and transaction revenue from our Rails and Dispatch modules. We charge our customers a fixed monthly subscription fee that is priced in tiers per restaurant location for access to our Ordering module. In addition, a growing portion of our customers purchase an allotment of monthly orders for a fixed monthly fee and pay us an additional fee for each excess order, which we also consider to be subscription revenue. Our transaction revenue includes revenue generated from our Rails and Dispatch modules. Customers who subscribe to our Rails and Dispatch modules pay a fee on a per transaction basis.

Olo has organized its platform into three principal product modules:

Ordering Module. Our Ordering module enables restaurants to provide seamless, fully-branded digital ordering programs to their consumers, and to process, manage, and integrate digital orders from direct and indirect channels into the restaurants’ other legacy systems.

Restaurants need to seamlessly manage on-premise and off-premise operations to ensure they provide the optimal experience to all of their consumers. This has generally required restaurants to integrate with and use solutions like POS systems, payments processors, fraud prevention solutions, loyalty programs, front-end designers, UX and UI providers, marketplaces, and DSPs. We currently integrate with over 100 technology solutions. These solutions historically did not integrate together, as they offered competing services or non-standard technology. Our platform is the neutral solution that is able to integrate, unite, and partner with these players, thereby enabling restaurants to seamlessly manage their operations. We give restaurants the ability to pick and choose their technology providers. Our flexibility and large partner ecosystem is designed to ensure that our offering remains relevant and critical to our customers. We believe our decision to support a variety of technology partners using our API-first strategy is essential in ensuring that restaurants can efficiently meet the needs of consumers.

Building, enhancing, and growing our partner ecosystem is a critical component of our growth strategy. We have developed our ecosystem so that we can provide our customers with complementary offerings across a range of services that we do not focus on today. Our goal is to ensure that our customers always have the choice of using best-in-class providers across the restaurant industry, and we have grown our partner ecosystem, and allocated additional personnel to partner and developer support, as the needs of our customers have changed over time. Instead of locking our customers into a set of technology providers, we proactively seek innovative partners, and embrace partners introduced to us directly by our customers. Our developer and partner support teams work closely with our partners on technical and product issues, collaborating together with the goal of ensuring our mutual customers receive an excellent product.

Our Technology

Our managed multi-tenant, multi-partner SaaS platform is designed to provide our customers with enterprise-grade security, reliability, and performance. Because we have historically integrated with disparate and fragmented technology providers, we have invested significant development resources into connecting a variety of systems using APIs and other solutions. By sharing infrastructure and code across our customer base, we believe we will be able to further leverage our technology and technical infrastructure investment. The key components of our technology platform include:

 

   

Enterprise-grade security. We are committed to providing industry-leading security and privacy. We have a dedicated in-house security team and undergo regular penetration testing and independent third-party assessments. We are certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider. We take a defense in depth approach to security, using segregated infrastructure and multiple types of firewalls, and apply the principle of least privilege to both people and systems. We use strong encryption in transit and at rest, denial of service mitigation, intrusion detection systems, two-factor authentication, tamper-proof logging, and proprietary fraud mitigation logic to help keep our customers’ and consumer data secure. We view the protection of sensitive data to be a critical component to our success, and continue to invest in measures to control its exposure.

Platform reliability and resilience. Multiple data centers host our platform for redundancy. Features are equipped with metrics and logging to provide visibility into operations, with alerts configured to automatically notify our 24/7 on-call rotation in the event of a problem. All changes undergo peer reviews, automated tests, and quality assurance before they can be deployed. Continuous integration, frequent releases, and infrastructure as code are designed to optimize for efficient deployment. We are also SOC 1, Type 2 compliant.

 

   

Proprietary infrastructure provides scalability. We designed the components of our platform to scale for high transaction volumes. We use Amazon Web Services’, or AWS’s, cloud infrastructure, which we overprovision in order to minimize the risk of outages from surges in traffic. If required, we can also increase our platform’s capacity with AWS. Multiple layers of caching are leveraged to reduce load on downstream components and improve performance. We build and extract features as modular services to align with the engineering teams that maintain them, and these services are scaled independently on their own infrastructure. Where possible, we use event-driven, asynchronous workflows to offload work to background services. Our system undergoes regular automated load tests.

 

   

Focus on the restaurant ecosystem allows extensive integrations. We designed our platform to integrate with multiple POS providers, loyalty programs, payment processors, front-end developers, marketplaces, and DSPs. Our platform allows our customers to integrate their systems using our APIs, webhooks, and other specifications. We have published a POS API standard that has been adopted by many POS providers. We use both cloud based APIs and, where necessary, older in-store agent-based technologies. In-store agent software uses our proprietary real-time protocol, which can operate over low-bandwidth connections and does not require restaurants to open incoming firewall ports. Customers may also use our fully managed, white-label web and mobile Ordering module, or they may build more tailored front-ends on our APIs.

Our Customers

Approximately 300 restaurant brands, representing over 42,000 locations nationwide, currently offer over 100 million consumers the opportunity to order ahead for pick-up or delivery through our platform. Both private and public restaurants choose our platform, including approximately 50% of publicly-traded and marquee private restaurant brands. We accommodate service models of all types, including quick service, fast casual, casual dining, family dining, convenience store, and coffee and snack locations. In every one of our customer relationships, we are the exclusive provider of direct digital ordering services with 100% franchisee participation. Brands like                 ,                 ,                 ,                 , and                  have used our platform to strengthen their customer relationships and boost their digital orders. We have minimal customer concentration, with no customer representing more than 10% of our revenue in 2018. Our average initial contract length is three years with a one year auto-renewal period, providing visibility into our forward performance.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales team is divided into four functional areas: a customer success team that manages day-to-day customer relationships, a field sales team focused on selling our platform to major enterprise restaurant brands, an inside sales team focused on acquiring other restaurant brands outside of the major enterprise segment, and a sustaining sales team that advocates and upsells the use of new modules and services to existing customers, and works to renew agreements as they approach expiration. The sales teams actively pursue leads generated from marketing programs and help take prospective customers through an evaluation and purchase process. We sell our solution primarily to C-level executives at the restaurant brands, including quick service, fast casual, casual

 

102


Table of Contents

dining, family dining, and coffee and snack businesses, and we strive to make it easy for customers to begin using our white-label solution.

Our customer success team manages the relationships with our customers. In addition to being the day-to-day contact for our customers, our customer success team monitors customer sentiment and program performance, and advocates for the customers’ use of additional modules and services. Our customer success team ensures that customers are receiving value from our platform, while supporting a growing relationship over time through increased usage of our platform and adoption of newer modules.

We focus our marketing efforts on the strength of our product innovation, the value we provide, and our unique ability to deliver a solution that is suited to benefit our restaurant brand customers. We target all aspects of the restaurant and food and beverage communities through our marketing activities, and actively develop our prospective customer base through numerous channels, including paid online search, email marketing, industry events, digital advertising, social media, public relations, and partner marketing. Once a prospective customer is using our platform, our sales efforts aim to expand into broader use cases and broaden the range of modules or services that we are providing. We also host an annual user conference, Beyond4, where customer stakeholders gather to engage with our team, deliver product training, share best practices, and foster community.

As of December 31, 2019, we had 21 employees in our sales, marketing, and customer success teams. We intend to continue to invest in our sales and marketing capabilities to capitalize on our market opportunity.

Research and Development

Our research and development organization is responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of new technologies, features, and integrations of our platform, as well as the continued improvement and iteration of our existing modules. This team is also responsible for operating and scaling our platform. Our most significant investments in research and development are to drive core technology innovation and bring new modules and features to market.

Our research and development team consists of our software engineering, user experience, product management, development, and engineering teams. As of December 31, 2019, we had 149 employees in our research and development organization. We intend to continue to invest in our research and development capabilities to extend our platform.

Our Competition

The markets in which we are compete are competitive and evolving rapidly. Our platform combines functionality from numerous product categories, and we therefore compete in each of these categories:

 

   

with respect to white-label digital ordering solution providers, we primarily compete with Tillster, Inc., Onosys, Inc., and NovaDine, Inc.;

 

   

with respect to restaurant-focused POS platforms that offer digital ordering solutions, we primarily compete with NCR Corporation and Xenial, Inc;

 

   

with respect to marketplaces that provide direct digital ordering solutions, we compete with Grubhub Inc.; and

 

103


Table of Contents
   

with respect to custom software, developed internally by restaurants or in partnership with consultancies and enterprise software providers, we primarily compete with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, Accenture plc, SAP SE, Sitecore Corporation A/S, and various development agencies.

We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including:

 

   

the ability to integrate with existing restaurant technology solutions and flexible enough to integrate with future technology solutions;

 

   

the ability to operationalize in a prescribed timeframe set by the prospective customer;

 

   

the breadth of offering and ability to furnish specific functionality in the manner desired by the prospective customer;

 

   

solution performance, security, scalability, and reliability;

 

   

the ability to operationally implement with a customer’s infrastructure;

 

   

ability to operate and support all geographic markets specified by the prospective customer;

 

   

the availability and quality of support and other professional services;

 

   

our ability to integrate our systems seamlessly and at low costs; and

 

   

brand recognition, reputation, and the satisfaction of customers.

We believe that we compete favorably with respect to the factors listed above. However, many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, and other resources, greater brand recognition, larger sales forces and marketing budgets, broader distribution networks, more diverse product and services offerings, and larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios. They may be able to leverage these resources to gain business in a manner that discourages customers from purchasing our offerings. Furthermore, we expect that our industry will continue to attract new market entrants, including smaller emerging companies, which could introduce new offerings. We may also expand into new markets and encounter additional competitors in such markets.

Our Employees and Culture

Our employees and the culture that we have created are the backbone of our success. We believe our founder-led corporate culture is critical in recruiting and retaining our employees. We are proud that most of the first couple dozen of our employees are still with the company, and many of them have advanced to management and executive roles. Our current employees are also our best recruiters, and our employee referral program has been a huge success in driving our recruiting efforts. Our Founder and Chief Executive Officer meets with every new employee to review our company’s values and our executives lead discussions on our values on a quarterly basis.

Every year we undertake a robust employee engagement survey and we are proud that we have had 100% participation in that survey every year. We benchmark the answers we receive against the prior year’s survey and against a peer set of technology companies. Compared to our peers, our employees rate us significantly higher in service and quality focus, collaboration, communication, action, and innovation. We take our employees’ feedback seriously, and we have assessed and

 

104


Table of Contents

optimized many of our practices over time based on the feedback we’ve received in our surveys. As we grow and scale our business and employee base, we will be making significant investments in training and development of our employees.

We are also proud of our remote culture and we spend a significant amount of time focused on our remote employees, making sure they are fully engaged with the company and their respective teams. We are proud of our diversity and inclusion efforts. We recently launched Employee Resource Groups, which are voluntary, employee-led groups that foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with organizational mission, values, goals, business practices, and objectives.

As of December 31, 2019, we had 232 employees operating across the United States, with 40% in our New York City headquarters and 60% working remotely. None of our employees are represented by a labor union with respect to their employment. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be strong.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights are important to our success. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements with third parties, and other contractual protections, to protect our intellectual property rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand. We use open source software in our services.

As of December 31, 2019, we owned one registered trademark in the United States.

We control access to and use of our proprietary technology and other confidential information through the use of internal and external controls, including contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers, and partners. We require our employees, consultants, and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietary information and invention assignment agreements, and we control and monitor access to our software, documentation, proprietary technology, and other confidential information. Our policy is to require all employees and independent contractors to sign agreements assigning to us any inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments, processes, and other intellectual property generated by them on our behalf and under which they agree to protect our confidential information. In addition, we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our customers and partners. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for a description of the risks related to our intellectual property.

Our Facilities

Our headquarters is located in New York City, where we lease approximately 36,100 square feet at One World Trade Center. We also lease approximately 14,700 square feet at 26 Broadway. Our lease at One World Trade Center expires in May 2029. We currently sublease our space in 26 Broadway and that lease will expire in September 2023. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet our current needs.

Legal Proceedings

We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition. However, we have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves or our customers by

 

105


Table of Contents

determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. Defending such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers.

Composition of Our Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. We currently have eight directors. All of our directors currently serve on the board of directors pursuant to the provisions of a voting agreement between us and several of our stockholders. These provisions of our voting agreement will terminate upon the completion of this offering, after which there will be no further contractual obligations regarding the election or designation of our directors. Our current directors will continue to serve as directors until their resignation, removal or successor is duly elected.

Our board of directors may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect on the completion of this offering, immediately after this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Our directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

 

   

the Class I directors will be                 ,                  and                 , whose terms will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held following the completion of this offering;

 

   

the Class II directors will be                 ,                  and                 , whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held following the completion of this offering; and

 

   

the Class III director will be                 and                 , whose terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders to be held following the completion of this offering.

We expect that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one third of the directors. The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Director Independence

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning her or his background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that none of our directors, other than Mr. Glass, has any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of                . In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director and the transactions described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Committees of Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our board of directors are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Colin Neville, Warren C. Smith Jr. and                . Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Smith satisfies the independence requirements under the listing standards of                and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The chair of our audit committee is                 , who our board of directors has determined is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations. Each member of our audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. In arriving at these determinations, our board of directors has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment in the corporate finance sector.

The primary purpose of the audit committee is to discharge the responsibilities of our board of directors with respect to our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes, systems of internal control and financial statement audits, and to oversee our independent registered public accounting firm. Specific responsibilities of our audit committee include:

 

   

helping our board of directors oversee our corporate accounting, and financial reporting processes;

 

   

managing the selection, engagement, qualifications, independence, and performance of a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements;

 

   

discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviewing, with management and the independent accountants, our interim and year-end operating results;

Ms. Das commenced employment as our General Counsel and Secretary on October 1, 2019, and, accordingly, the amount reported reflects the prorated portion of Ms. Das’ annual base salary. Ms. Das’ annual base salary for 2019 was $300,000. Given her short tenure in 2019, Ms. Das was not eligible for a bonus in 2019.

This column reflects the full grant date fair value of options granted during the year measured pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718), the basis for computing stock-based compensation in our consolidated financial statements. Unlike the calculations contained in our consolidated financial statements, this calculation does not give effect to any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting, but assumes that the named executive officer will perform the requisite service for the award to vest in full as required by SEC rules. The assumptions we used in valuing options are described in note 9 to our financial statements included in this prospectus.

See “—Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” for a description of the material terms of the plans pursuant to which this compensation was awarded.

Narrative to the Summary Compensation Table

Annual Base Salary

Our named executive officers receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to us. The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The 2019 base salaries for our named executive officers were as stated in the table above.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation

Currently, we do not have a formal executive bonus plan. We have an informal bonus policy and historical practice of setting target bonus amounts for our executive officers at the time of hire. These amounts are usually expressed as a percentage of base salary determined on an individual basis, which we felt was appropriate based on individual negotiations with each executive officer and considering factors such as compensation opportunities that these executive officers were foregoing from their prior employers, cash bonuses provided to executive officers of our peer companies, the

 

115


Table of Contents

executive officer’s anticipated role criticality relative to others at our company, and the determination by our board of directors or committee thereof and, as applicable, the Chief Executive Officer of the essential need to attract and retain these executive officers. The applicable target bonus amounts for our executive officers in 2019 varied based on individual negotiations at the time of hire and individual and/or company performance in prior year(s).

In 2019, Mr. Glass was eligible to receive a target bonus of $187,200, or 60% of his base salary, based on the attainment of company performance goals set by the compensation committee. Mr. Glass received an aggregate bonus for 2019 of $187,200.

Ms. Das became an employee as of October 1, 2019 and was not eligible to receive a bonus for performance in 2019, given her short tenure. In 2020, Mr. Glass and Ms. Das are eligible to receive target bonuses of $             and $             based on the attainment of company performance goals set by the compensation committee.

In 2019, Mr. Hahnfeld was eligible to participate in our sales compensation plan. Our sales compensation plan is designed to compensate members of the sales team, including Mr. Hahnfeld, for the attainment of sales targets set by our compensation committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. The variable compensation for 2019 for Mr. Hahnfeld was measured and paid on a quarterly basis based on attainment of the sales targets over the fiscal year. Mr. Hahnfeld received an aggregate variable compensation payment of $679,263 for 2019 pursuant to the terms of our sales compensation plan.

In connection with this offering, we expect to adopt a formal executive bonus plan, or the Executive Bonus Plan. The purpose of the Executive Bonus Plan is to create a direct relationship between key business performance measurements and individual bonus amounts. The Executive Bonus Plan will provide for annual bonus payments to each executive officer conditioned upon the achievement of certain performance goals established by the compensation committee, which may differ for each executive officer. Our compensation committee will establish such performance goals based on one or more established performance criteria relating to financial, operational, workforce, or partner performance.

Equity-Based Incentive Awards

Our equity award program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives to our executives. We believe that equity awards provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. To date, we have used stock option grants for this purpose because we believe they are an effective means by which to align the long-term interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. The use of options also can provide tax and other advantages to our executive officers relative to other forms of equity compensation. We believe that our equity awards are an important retention tool for our executive officers, as well as for our other employees.

We award stock options broadly to our employees, including to our non-executive employees. Grants to our executives and other employees are made at the discretion of our board of directors and are not made at any specific time period during a year.

Prior to this offering, all of the stock options we have granted were made pursuant to our 2005 Plan or our 2015 Plan. The terms of the stock options granted to our named executive officers are set forth in the section titled “Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2019.” Following this offering, we will grant equity incentive awards under the terms of our 2020 Plan. The terms of our equity plans are described under “—Equity Incentive Plans” below.

Health and Welfare and Retirement Benefits; Perquisites

All of our current named executive officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance plans, in each case on the same basis as all of our other employees. We generally do not provide perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers, except in limited circumstances.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a 401(k) plan that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to defer eligible compensation up to certain Code limits, which are updated annually. Contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participants’ directions. Employees are immediately and fully vested in their own contributions. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, with the related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan are deductible by us when made, and contributions and earnings on those amounts are not taxable to the employees until withdrawn or distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Equity Incentive Plans

The principal features of our equity plans and are summarized below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual text of the plans, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved our 2020 Plan on                , 2020 and on                , 2020, respectively. The 2020 Plan will become effective, and no stock awards may be granted under the 2020 Plan until, immediately prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement related to this offering. Once the 2020 Plan is effective, no further grants will be made under the 2015 Plan.

Stock Awards. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory stock options, or NSOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation, which are collectively referred to as stock awards. ISOs may be granted only to our employees and to any of the employees of our subsidiary corporations. All other awards may be granted to employees, including officers, and to non-employee directors and consultants of ours and any of our affiliates.

Share Reserve. Initially, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2020 Plan is the sum of (i)                  shares plus (ii) the number of shares reserved, and remaining available for issuance, under our 2015 Plan at the time our 2020 Plan became effective and (iii) the number of shares subject to stock options or other stock awards granted under our 2015 Plan that would have otherwise returned to our 2015 Plan and 2005

 

121


Table of Contents

Plan (such as upon the expiration or termination of a stock award prior to vesting). The number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2020 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021 (assuming the 2020 Plan becomes effective in 2020) and continuing through and including January 1, 2030, by     % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by our board of directors. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under our 2020 Plan is          shares.

If a stock award granted under the 2020 Plan expires or otherwise terminates without being exercised in full, or is settled in cash, the shares of our common stock not acquired pursuant to the stock award again will become available for subsequent issuance under the 2020 Plan. In addition, the following types of shares under the 2020 Plan may become available for the grant of new stock awards under the 2020 Plan: (1) shares that are forfeited to or repurchased by us prior to becoming fully vested; (2) shares withheld to satisfy income or employment withholding taxes; or (3) shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price of a stock award. Shares issued under the 2020 Plan may be previously unissued shares or reacquired shares bought by us on the open market.

The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the 2020 Plan or otherwise during any one calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid by us to such non-employee director during such calendar year for service on the board of directors, will not exceed $         in total value (calculating the value of any such stock awards based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes), or, with respect to the calendar year in which a non-employee director is first appointed or elected to our board of directors, $        .

Administration. Our board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, has the authority to administer the 2020 Plan, and is referred to herein as the “plan administrator”. Our board of directors may also delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to (1) designate employees (other than other officers) to be recipients of certain stock awards, (2) determine the number of shares of common stock to be subject to such stock awards, and (3) specify the other terms and conditions, including the strike price or purchase price and vesting schedule, applicable to such awards. Subject to the terms of the 2020 Plan, our board of directors or the authorized committee, referred to as the plan administrator, determines recipients, dates of grant, the numbers and types of stock awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of the stock awards, including the period of their exercisability and the vesting schedule applicable to a stock award. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the plan administrator will also determine the exercise price, strike price or purchase price of stock awards granted and the types of consideration to be paid for the stock award.

The plan administrator has the authority to modify outstanding stock awards under our 2020 Plan. Subject to the terms of our 2020 Plan, the plan administrator has the authority, without stockholder approval, to reduce the exercise, purchase or strike price of any outstanding stock award, cancel any outstanding stock award in exchange for new stock awards, cash or other consideration, or take any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, with the consent of any adversely affected participant.

Stock Options. ISOs and NSOs are evidenced by stock option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2020 Plan, provided that the exercise price of a stock option generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2020 Plan vest at the rate specified by the plan administrator.

The plan administrator determines the term of stock options granted under the 2020 Plan, up to a maximum of 10 years. Unless the terms of an option holder’s stock option agreement provide

otherwise, if an option holder’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases for any reason other than disability, death or cause, the option holder may generally exercise any vested options for a period of three months following the cessation of service. The option term will automatically be extended in the event that exercise of the option following such a termination of service is prohibited by applicable securities laws or our insider trading policy. If an option holder’s service relationship with us or any of our affiliates ceases due to disability or death, or an option holder dies within a certain period following cessation of service, the option holder or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested options for a period of 12 months in the event of disability and 18 months in the event of death. In the event of a termination for cause, options generally terminate immediately. In no event may an option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Acceptable consideration for the purchase of common stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option will be determined by the plan administrator and may include (1) cash, check, bank draft or money order, (2) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, (3) the tender of shares of our common stock previously owned by the option holder, (4) a net exercise of the option if it is an NSO and, (5) other legal consideration approved by the plan administrator.

Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, options generally are not transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order. An option holder may designate a beneficiary, however, who may exercise the option following the option holder’s death.

Tax Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of our common stock with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will be treated as NSOs. No ISOs may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our subsidiary corporations unless (1) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and (2) the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards are evidenced by restricted stock award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Restricted stock awards may be granted in consideration for (1) cash, check, bank draft or money order, (2) services rendered to us or our affiliates, or (3) any other form of legal consideration. Common stock acquired under a restricted stock award may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in our favor in accordance with a vesting schedule as determined by the plan administrator. Rights to acquire shares under a restricted stock award may be transferred only upon such terms and conditions as set by the plan administrator. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, restricted stock awards that have not vested will be forfeited upon the participant’s cessation of continuous service for any reason.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted stock unit awards are evidenced by restricted stock unit award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Restricted stock unit awards may be granted in consideration for any form of legal consideration or for no consideration. A restricted stock unit award may be settled by cash, delivery of stock, a combination of cash and stock as deemed appropriate by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the restricted stock unit award agreement. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by a restricted stock unit award. Rights under a restricted stock unit award may be transferred only upon such terms and conditions as set by the plan administrator. Restricted stock unit awards may be subject to vesting as determined by the plan administrator. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, restricted stock units that have not vested will be forfeited upon the participant’s cessation of continuous service for any reason.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights are evidenced by stock appreciation grant agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the strike price for a stock appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, we will pay the participant an amount in cash or stock equal to (1) the excess of the per share fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the strike price, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. A stock appreciation right granted under the 2020 Plan vests at the rate specified in the stock appreciation right agreement as determined by the plan administrator.

The plan administrator determines the term of stock appreciation rights granted under the 2020 Plan, up to a maximum of 10 years. Unless the terms of a participant’s stock appreciation right agreement provides otherwise, if a participant’s service relationship with us or any of our affiliates ceases for any reason other than cause, disability or death, the participant may generally exercise any vested stock appreciation right for a period of three months following the cessation of service. The stock appreciation right term will be further extended in the event that exercise of the stock appreciation right following such a termination of service is prohibited by applicable securities laws. If a participant’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases due to disability or death, or a participant dies within a certain period following cessation of service, the participant or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested stock appreciation right for a period of 12 months in the event of disability and 18 months in the event of death. In the event of a termination for cause, stock appreciation rights generally terminate immediately upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to the termination of the individual for cause. In no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, stock appreciation rights generally are not transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order. A stock appreciation right holder may designate a beneficiary, however, who may exercise the stock appreciation right following the holder’s death.

Performance Awards. Our 2020 Plan permits the grant of performance stock and cash awards. The performance goals that may be selected include one or more of the following: (1) earnings (including earnings per share and net earnings); (2) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation; (3) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (4) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and legal settlements; (5) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, legal settlements and other income (expense); (6) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, legal settlements, other income (expense) and stock-based compensation; (7) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, legal settlements, other income (expense), stock-based compensation and changes in deferred revenue; (8) total stockholder return; (9) return on equity or average stockholder’s equity; (10) return on assets, investment, or capital employed; (11) stock price; (12) margin (including gross margin); (13) income (before or after taxes); (14) operating income; (15) operating income after taxes; (16) pre-tax profit; (17) operating cash flow; (18) sales or revenue targets; (19) increases in revenue or product revenue; (20) expenses and cost reduction goals; (21) improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; (22) economic value added (or an equivalent metric); (23) market share; (24) cash flow; (25) cash flow per share; (26) share price performance; (27) debt reduction; (28) implementation or completion of projects or processes; (29) stockholders’ equity; (30) capital expenditures; (31) debt levels; (32) operating profit or net operating profit; (33) workforce diversity; (34) growth of net income or operating income; (35) billings; (36) bookings; (37) employee retention; (38) user satisfaction; (39) the number of users, including unique users; (40) budget management; (41) partner satisfaction; (42) entry into or completion of strategic partnerships or transactions (including in-licensing and out-licensing of intellectual property); and (43) other measures of performance selected by our board of directors or a committee thereof.

Table of Contents

The performance goals may be based on company-wide performance or performance of one or more business units, divisions, affiliates, or business segments, and may be either absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or the performance of one or more relevant indices. Unless specified otherwise by our board of directors when the performance award is granted, we will appropriately make adjustments in the method of calculating the attainment of performance goals as follows: (1) to exclude restructuring and/or other nonrecurring charges; (2) to exclude exchange rate effects; (3) to exclude the effects of changes to generally accepted accounting principles; (4) to exclude the effects of any statutory adjustments to corporate tax rates; (5) to exclude the effects of any items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently as determined under generally accepted accounting principles; (6) to exclude the dilutive effects of acquisitions or joint ventures; (7) to assume that any business divested by us achieved performance objectives at targeted levels during the balance of a performance period following such divestiture; (8) to exclude the effect of any change in the outstanding shares of our common stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, stock repurchase, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to common stockholders other than regular cash dividends; (9) to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation and the award of bonuses under our bonus plans; (10) to exclude costs incurred in connection with potential acquisitions or divestitures that are required to be expensed under generally accepted accounting principles; and (11) to exclude the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges that are required to be recorded under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, we retain the discretion to adjust or eliminate the compensation or economic benefit due upon attainment of the goals. The performance goals may differ from participant to participant and from award to award.

Other Stock Awards. The plan administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to our common stock. The plan administrator will set the number of shares under the stock award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event that there is a specified type of change in our capital structure, such as a stock split or recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will be made to (1) the class and maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan, (2) the class and maximum number of shares by which the share reserve may increase automatically each year, (3) the class and number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs, and (4) the class and number of shares and exercise price, strike price, or purchase price, if applicable, of all outstanding stock awards.

Corporate Transactions. The following applies to stock awards under the 2020 Plan in the event of certain specified corporate transactions, unless otherwise provided in a participant’s stock award agreement or other written agreement with us or one of our affiliates or unless otherwise expressly provided by the plan administrator at the time of grant.

In the event of a corporate transaction, any stock awards outstanding under the 2020 Plan may be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to the stock award may be assigned to our successor (or its parent company). If the surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume, continue or substitute for such stock awards, then (i) with respect to any such stock awards that are held by participants whose continuous service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, or current participants, the vesting (and exercisability, if applicable) of such stock awards will be accelerated in full (or, in the case of performance awards with multiple vesting levels depending on the level of performance, vesting will accelerate at 100% of the target level) to a date prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction (contingent upon the effectiveness of the corporate transaction), and such stock awards will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, and any

 

125


Table of Contents

reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to such stock awards will lapse (contingent upon the effectiveness of the corporate transaction), and (ii) any such stock awards that are held by persons other than current participants will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, except that any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to such stock awards will not terminate and may continue to be exercised notwithstanding the corporate transaction.

In the event a stock award will terminate if not exercised prior to the effective time of a corporate transaction, the plan administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of such stock award may not exercise such stock award but instead will receive a payment equal in value to the excess (if any) of (i) the per share amount payable to holders of our common stock in connection with the corporate transaction, over (ii) any per share exercise price payable by such holder, if applicable. In addition, any escrow, holdback, earn out or similar provisions in the definitive agreement for the corporate transaction may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of our common stock.

Under the 2020 Plan, a significant corporate transaction is generally the consummation of (1) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets, (2) a sale or other disposition of at least 50% of our outstanding securities, (3) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which we are not the surviving corporation or (4) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which we are the surviving corporation but the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are converted or exchanged into other property by virtue of the transaction.

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate our 2020 Plan, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent and provided further that certain types of amendments will require the approval of our stockholders. No ISOs may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date our board of directors adopts our 2020 Plan.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved our 2015 Plan on October 8, 2015 and on October 30, 2015, respectively. Our 2015 Plan has been periodically amended, most recently on January 21, 2020. Our 2015 Plan permits the grant of ISOs, NSOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, phantom stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. ISOs may be granted only to our employees and to any of the employees of our subsidiary corporations’ employees. All other awards may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of ours and to any of our parent or subsidiary corporation’s employees or consultants. Our 2015 Plan will be terminated prior to the completion of this offering, and thereafter we will not grant any additional awards under our 2015 Plan. However, our 2015 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder.

As of December 31, 2019, stock options and stock appreciation rights covering 1,554,237 shares of our common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $29.51 per share were outstanding, and 25,713 shares of our common stock remained available for the future grant of awards under our 2015 Plan. Any shares of our common stock remaining available for issuance under our 2015 Plan when our 2020 Plan becomes effective will become available for issuance under our 2020 Plan. In addition, any shares subject to awards that expire or terminate prior to exercise or settlement or are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations will be added to the number of shares then available for issuance under our 2020 Plan.

Administration. Our board of directors or a committee delegated by our board of directors administers our 2015 Plan. Subject to the terms of our 2015 Plan, the administrator has the power to, among other things, determine the eligible persons to whom, and the times at which, awards will be granted, to determine the terms and conditions of each award (including the number of shares subject to the award, the exercise price of the award, if any, and when the award will vest and, as applicable, become exercisable), to modify or amend outstanding awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding awards and substitute new awards, to accelerate the time(s) at which an award may vest or be exercised, and to construe and interpret the terms of our 2015 Plan and awards granted thereunder.

Options. The exercise price per share of ISOs granted under our 2015 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date. NSOs may be granted with a per share exercise price that is less than 100% of the per share fair market value of our common stock. Subject to the provisions of our 2015 Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options, including any vesting and exercisability requirements, the method of payment of the option exercise price, the option expiration date, and the period following termination of service during which options may remain exercisable.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event there is a specified type of change in our capital structure, such as a any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, liquidating dividend, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any other such equity restructuring transaction, appropriate adjustments will be made to our board of directors will make final, binding and conclusive adjustments to (i) the classes and maximum number of shares subject to the 2015 Plan, (ii) the classes and maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options and the classes, number, and (iii) the classes, number of shares and price per share of stock subject to outstanding stock awards.

Transactions. In the event of certain specified significant transactions, our administrator generally may take one or more of the following actions with respect to outstanding awards:

 

   

arrange for the assumption, continuation or substitution of a stock award by a surviving or acquiring entity or parent company;

 

   

arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us to the surviving or acquiring entity or parent company;

 

   

accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the stock award and provide for its termination if not exercised at or prior to the effective time of the transaction;

 

   

arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase right held by us;

 

   

cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the stock award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, in the sole discretion of the board of directors, or for no consideration; or

 

   

make a payment equal to the excess of (1) the value of the property the participant would have received upon exercise of the stock award immediately prior to the effective time of such corporate transaction over (2) the exercise price or strike price otherwise payable in connection with the stock award.

Our board of directors is not obligated to treat all awards in the same manner. Under the 2015 Plan, a significant transaction is generally the consummation of (1) a sale or other disposition of all or

 

127


Table of Contents

substantially all of our consolidated assets, (2) a sale or other disposition of at least 50% of our outstanding securities, (3) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which we are not the surviving corporation, (4) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which we are the surviving corporation but the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are converted or exchanged into other property by virtue of the transaction, or (5) a change in control. Under the 2015 Plan, a change in control is generally (a) the acquisition by a person or entity of more than 50% of our combined voting power other than by merger, consolidation or similar transaction, (b) a consummated merger, consolidation or similar transaction immediately after which our stockholders cease to own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving entity, or (c) a consummated sale, lease or exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets. The plan administrator may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement between a participant and us, that the stock award will be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change in control.

Dissolution and Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation, except as otherwise provided in the stock award agreement, all outstanding stock awards not subject to a forfeiture condition or our right of repurchase will terminate immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation. Shares subject to a forfeiture condition or our right of repurchase may be repurchased or reacquired by us. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may cause all or some of the outstanding stock awards to fully vest and no longer be subject to any forfeiture condition or our right of repurchase prior to, and contingent upon, any dissolution or liquidation.

Plan Amendment or Termination. Our board of directors may amend, modify or, terminate our 2015 Plan at any time provided that such action does not impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent and provided further that certain types of amendments will require the approval of our stockholders. No incentive stock options may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date our board of directors adopts our 2015 Plan. As discussed above, we will terminate our 2015 Plan prior to the completion of this offering and no new awards will be granted thereunder following such termination.

Transferability. Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, options granted under the 2015 Plan are generally are not transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order. An option holder may designate a beneficiary, however, who may exercise the option following the option holder’s death. Rights to acquire shares of common stock under any restricted stock award may only be transferred as set forth in the applicable restricted stock award agreement.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved the 2005 Plan in October 2005. The 2005 Plan was terminated upon the effectiveness of the 2015 Plan. However, any outstanding stock awards under our 2005 Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms. As of December 31, 2019, options to purchase an aggregate of 676,409 shares of our common stock remained outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.48 per share.

Our board of directors, or a committee thereof appointed by our board of directors, administers our 2005 Plan and the stock awards granted under it. Our administrator has the authority to modify outstanding stock awards under our 2005 Plan.

Our 2005 Plan provides that in the event of certain specified significant corporate transactions, generally including: (1) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, (2) the sale or disposition of at least 90% of our outstanding securities, (3) the consummation of a merger or consolidation where we

 

128


Table of Contents

do not survive the transaction, and (4) the consummation of a merger or consolidation where we do survive the transaction but the shares of our common stock outstanding before such transaction are converted or exchanged into other property by virtue of the transaction, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or other written agreement between us and the award holder, the administrator may arrange for the assumption, continuation, or substitution of a stock award by a successor corporation, or arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us to a successor corporation. In the event that any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume or continue any or all outstanding stock awards or substitute similar stock awards for such outstanding stock awards, then with respect to the stock awards that have not been assumed, continued, or substituted and are held by a participant whose continuous service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, (a) the vesting of such stock awards shall be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such corporate transaction as the board shall determine, (b) such stock awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable), and (c) any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to such stock awards shall lapse. With respect to any other stock awards outstanding under the 2005 Plan that have not been assumed, continued, or substituted in the event of such significant corporate transaction, the vesting of such stock awards (and if applicable, the time at which such stock award may be exercised) shall not be accelerated, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between us and the holder of such stock award, and such stock award shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of such corporate transaction. Further, a stock award held by any participant whose continuous service has not terminated prior to the effective time of a “change in control” (as defined in the 2005 Plan) may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after such event as may be provided in the stock award agreement of the stock award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between us and the participant, but in absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall occur.

Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect on the completion of this offering will contain provisions that limit the liability of our current and former directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

 

   

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

 

   

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

   

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

 

   

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Such limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect on the completion of this offering will authorize us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our amended and restated bylaws that will be in effect on the completion of this offering will provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and may indemnify our other employees and agents. Our amended and restated bylaws will also provide that, on satisfaction of certain conditions, we will

 

129


Table of Contents

advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of Delaware law. We have entered and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted for directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plans

Our directors and officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy or sell shares of our common stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades under parameters established by the director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The director or officer may amend a Rule 10b5-1 plan in some circumstances and may terminate a plan at any time. Our directors and executive officers may also buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they do not possess of material nonpublic information, subject to compliance with the terms of our insider trading policy.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Other than compensation arrangements for our directors and executive officers, which are described elsewhere in this prospectus, below we describe transactions since January 1, 2017 to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:

 

   

the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

 

   

any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Third-Party Tender Offers

In November 2018, we entered into an agreement with certain investors, including Tiger Global Private Investment Partners XI, L.P. and its directors, pursuant to which we agreed to waive certain transfer restrictions in connection with, and assist in the administration of, a tender offer that such investors proposed to commence. In November 2018, these investors commenced a tender offer to purchase shares of our capital stock from certain of our stockholders at a price of approximately $52.00 per share, pursuant to an offer to purchase to which we were not a party. In connection with the tender offer, and to the extent not already bound by such agreements, the investors signed a joinder to our investors’ rights agreement, right of first refusal and co-sale agreement and our voting agreement. These investors did not receive any rights or privileges beyond those afforded to all holders of common stock.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our shares as of December 31, 2019 by:

 

   

each named executive officer;

 

   

each of our directors;

 

   

our directors and executive officers as a group;

 

   

each of the selling stockholders; and

 

   

each person or entity known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock (by number or by voting power).

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership before this offering is based on 6,406,258 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, assuming the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into 5,230,827 shares of common stock and the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 90,071 shares of common stock, which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering. Applicable percentage ownership after this offering is based on                  shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us and the selling stockholders. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares subject to options held by the person that are currently exercisable, or exercisable or would vest based on service-based vesting conditions within 60 days of December 31, 2019. However, except as described above, we did not deem such shares outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws that will be in effect on the completion of this offering. Copies of these documents have been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. The descriptions of the common stock and preferred stock reflect changes to our capital structure that will be in effect on the completion of this offering.

Upon the completion of this offering, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide for                  shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and                  shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, the rights, preferences and privileges of which may be designated from time to time by our board of directors.

As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding 6,406,258 shares of common stock, which assumes the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock.

Our outstanding capital stock was held by 47 stockholders of record as of December 31, 2019. Our board of directors will be authorized, without stockholder approval except as required by the listing standards of                 , to issue additional shares of our capital stock.

Common Stock

Voting Rights

The common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter that is submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect upon the completion of this offering will not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Economic Rights

Except as otherwise will be expressly provided in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect upon the completion of this offering or required by applicable law, all shares of common stock will have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects for all matters, including those described below.

Dividends and Distributions. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividend or distribution of cash or property paid or distributed by the company, unless different treatment of the shares of the affected class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class. See the section titled “Dividend Policy” for additional information.

Table of Contents

Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share equally, identically and ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of any liabilities, liquidation preferences and accrued or declared but unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to any outstanding preferred stock, unless a different treatment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class.

Change of Control Transactions. The holders of common stock will be treated equally and identically with respect to shares of common stock owned by them, on (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, (b) the consummation of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or share transfer which results in our voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction (or the voting securities issued with respect to our voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction) representing less than a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the company or the surviving or acquiring entity, or (c) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons of securities of the company if, after closing, the transferee person or group would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the company (or the surviving or acquiring entity). However, consideration to be paid or received by a holder of common stock in connection with any such assets sale, merger, reorganization, consolidation or share transfer under any employment, consulting, severance, or other arrangement will be disregarded for the purposes of determining whether holders of common stock are treated equally and identically.

Subdivisions and Combinations. If we subdivide or combine in any manner outstanding shares of common stock, the outstanding shares of the other classes will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and are not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Fully Paid and Non-Assessable

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2019, there were 2,904,228 shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding.

On the completion of this offering and under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect on the completion of this offering, our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of up to an aggregate of                  shares of preferred stock in one or more series and authorize their issuance. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the

Table of Contents

designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. Any issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock, and the likelihood that such holders would receive dividend payments and payments on liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action. On the completion of this offering, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding. We have no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Options

As of December 31, 2019, 676,409 shares of our common stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our 2005 Plan, with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.48 per share.

A warrant to acquire 892 of such shares will become a warrant to purchase 8,920 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering, at a weighted-average exercise price of $28.00 per share. Additionally, warrants to acquire 90,071 of such shares, if not exercised, will expire upon the completion of this offering. These warrants contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations, reclassifications and consolidations.

Registration Rights

Stockholder Registration Rights

We are party to an investors’ rights agreement that provides that certain holders of our capital stock, including certain holders of at least 5% of our capital stock and entities affiliated with certain of our directors, have certain registration rights, as set forth below. This investors’ rights agreement was entered into in January 2016. The registration of shares of our common stock by the exercise of registration rights described below would enable the holders to sell these shares without restriction under the Securities Act when the applicable registration statement is declared effective. We will pay the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, of the shares registered by the demand, piggyback and Form S-3 registrations described below.

Generally, in an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter, if any, has the right, subject to specified conditions, to limit the number of shares such holders may include. The demand, piggyback and Form S-3 registration rights described below will expire upon the earliest to occur of: (a) five years after the first sale of our common stock following the effective date of the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part; (b) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation; or (c) with respect to any particular stockholder, such time as such stockholder can sell all of its shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or another similar exemption during any three-month period.

Demand Registration Rights

The holders of an aggregate of 5,714,910 shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain demand registration rights. At any time beginning 180 days after the effective date of the registration

 

139


Table of Contents

statement, of which this prospectus is a part, such holders are entitled to registration rights under the investors’ rights agreement, on not more than one occasion, provided that the holders of at least 50% of registrable securities then outstanding request that we register all or a portion of their shares.

Piggyback Registration Rights

In connection with this offering, the holders of an aggregate of 5,714,910 shares of our capital stock were entitled to, and the necessary percentage of holders waived, their rights to notice of this offering and to include their shares of registrable securities in this offering. After this offering, in the event that we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security holders, the holders of these shares will be entitled to certain piggyback registration rights allowing such holders to include their shares in such registration, subject to certain marketing and other limitations. As a result, whenever we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of these shares are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right to include their shares in the registration, subject to limitations that the underwriters may impose on the number of shares included in the offering.

Form S-3 Registration Rights

The holders of an aggregate of 5,714,910 shares of common stock will be entitled to certain Form S-3 registration rights. If we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, these holders have the right, upon written request from holders of at least 30% of the registrable securities then outstanding, to have such shares registered by us if the anticipated aggregate offering price of such shares, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, is at least $1 million, subject to exceptions set forth in the investors’ rights agreement.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to be in Effect on the Completion of this Offering

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock will be able to elect all of our directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws to be effective on the completion of this offering will provide for stockholder actions at a duly called meeting of stockholders or, before the date on which all shares of common stock convert into a single class, by written consent. A special meeting of stockholders may be called by a majority of our board of directors, the chair of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or our lead independent director. Our amended and restated bylaws to be effective on the completion of this offering will establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors.

In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be effective on the completion of this offering, immediately after this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms.

The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

 

140


Table of Contents

These provisions are intended to preserve our existing control structure after completion of this offering, facilitate our continued product innovation and the risk-taking that it requires, permit us to continue to prioritize our long-term goals rather than short-term results, enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

When we have a class of voting stock that is either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, we will be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions.

Choice of Forum

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be effective on the completion of this offering will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware be the exclusive forum for actions or proceedings brought under Delaware statutory or common law: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (2) any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law; (4) any action regarding our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; (5) any action as to which the Delaware General Corporate Law confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (6) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The provisions would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Delaware of the enforceability of such exclusive forum provision.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification

See the section titled “Executive Compensation—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters.”

Exchange Listing

Our common stock is currently not listed on any securities exchange. We intend to apply to have our common stock approved for listing on                under the symbol “OLO.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

On the completion of this offering, the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock will be                 . The transfer agent’s address is                 .

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued on the exercise of outstanding options, in the public market after this offering, or the possibility of these sales or issuances occurring, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock or impair our ability to raise equity capital.

Based on our shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019, on the completion of this offering, a total of                  shares of common stock will be outstanding, assuming the automatic conversion of all of our outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of                  shares of common stock. Of these shares, all of the common stock sold in this offering by us, plus any shares sold by exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common stock from us and the selling stockholders, will be freely tradable in the public market without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, unless these shares are held by “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or Rule 144.

The remaining shares of common stock will be, and shares of common stock subject to stock options will be on issuance, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if they are registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, or Rule 701, which are summarized below. Restricted securities may also be sold outside of the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, or Regulation S.

Subject to the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rules 144 or 701 or Regulation S, as well as our insider trading policy, these restricted securities will be available for sale in the public market after the date of this prospectus.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, an eligible stockholder is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. To be an eligible stockholder under Rule 144, such stockholder must not be deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and must have beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then such person is entitled to sell such shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144, subject to the expiration of the lock-up agreements described below.

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are entitled to sell shares on expiration of the lock-up agreements described below, subject, in the case of restricted securities, to such shares having been beneficially owned for at least six months. Beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, within any three-month period, such stockholders may sell a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

   

1% of the number of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately                  shares immediately after this offering, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us and the selling stockholders; or

the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on                  during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who was issued shares under a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our company during the immediately preceding 90 days, to sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required by that rule to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling those shares under Rule 701, subject to the expiration of the lock-up agreements described below.

Form S-8 Registration Statements

We intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act with the SEC to register the offer and sale of shares of our common stock to be issued under our 2005 Plan, 2015 Plan and 2020 Plan. These registration statements will become effective immediately on filing. Shares covered by these registration statements will then be eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to vesting restrictions, any applicable lock-up agreements described below, and Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates.

Lock-Up Arrangements

We, the selling stockholders, all of our directors, executive officers and the holders of substantially all of our common stock and securities exercisable for or convertible into our common stock outstanding immediately on the completion of this offering, have agreed, or will agree, with the underwriters that, until                  days after the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of common stock. These agreements are described in the section titled “Underwriting.” Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may, in their sole discretion, release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time.

In addition to the restrictions contained in the lock-up agreements described above, we have entered into agreements with certain of our security holders, including the investors’ rights agreement, that contain market stand-off provisions imposing restrictions on the ability of such security holders to offer, sell or transfer our equity securities for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus.

Registration Rights

Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of 5,714,910 shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the offer and sale of their shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately on the effectiveness of the registration. See the section titled “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights” for additional information.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and the alternative minimum tax. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

 

   

U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

 

   

persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

 

   

banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

 

   

brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

 

   

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

   

partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

 

   

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

 

   

persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

 

   

tax-qualified retirement plans; and

 

   

“qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

Definition of Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and all substantial decisions of which are subject to the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions

As described in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “—Sale or Other Taxable Disposition.”

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate).

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular

 

145


Table of Contents

graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable tax treaties.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

 

   

the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

 

   

our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest, or USRPI, by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation, or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the Non-U.S. Holder certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January 1, 2019, recently proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers, including withholding agents, generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

The underwriters will be committed to take and pay for all of the shares being offered, if any are taken, other than the shares covered by the option described below unless and until this option is exercised.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional                      shares from us and the selling stockholders to cover sales by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than the total number set forth in the table above. They may exercise that option for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

The following tables show the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters by us and the selling stockholders. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase                  additional shares.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $        per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the shares, the representatives may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of the shares by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We and our officers, directors and holders of substantially all of our common stock, including the selling stockholders, have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of the underwriting agreement continuing through the

date     days after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of the representatives. This agreement does not apply to any existing employee benefit plans. See the section titled “Shares Available for Future Sale” for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions.

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price has been negotiated among the representatives and us. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

We intend to apply to have our common stock approved for listing on                             under the symbol “OLO.”

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering, and a short position represents the amount of such sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A “covered short position” is a short position that is not greater than the amount of additional shares for which the underwriters’ option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option described above. “Naked” short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the amount of additional shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any such naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of our common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on                     , in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We estimate that our share of the total expenses of this offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $         . We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for expenses related to any applicable state securities filings and to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. incurred by them in connection with this offering.

Table of Contents

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of the issuer (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with the issuer. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors of Olo Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Olo Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

Business

Description of Business

Olo Inc. was formed on June 1, 2005 in Delaware and is headquartered in New York City. On January 14, 2020, the board of directors and stockholders approved our name change from Mobo Systems, Inc. to Olo Inc. Unless the context otherwise indicates or requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” shall refer to Olo Inc.

We are a software platform company for the restaurant industry and are focused on enabling digital ordering, through the deployment of white label ecommerce websites and applications and tools for digital order management. Our platform also provides a delivery enablement module and a marketplace management module. Our platform combines digital ordering and delivery enablement to provide restaurants with a holistic view of their digital business and enable them to own and manage their relationships with their customers.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards based on public company effective dates.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which our total annual gross revenue is at least $1.07 billion or (c) when we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the

 

F-7


Table of Contents

OLO INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)

 

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

We regularly assess these estimates, including but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation including the determination of the fair value of the our stock, fair value of warrant liabilities, realization of deferred tax assets, estimated life of our customers, estimated standalone selling price of our performance obligations and estimating the transaction price for implementation services. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to the financial position and results of operations.

Segment Information

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). We define the CODM as the Chief Executive Officer as his role is to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Our business operates in one operating segment as all of our offerings operate on a single platform and are deployed in an identical way, with our CODM evaluating our financial information, resources and performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. Since we operate in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we did not have assets located outside of the United States and international revenue recognized during the year was not material.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

We are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily through our cash held by financial institutions. We primarily deposit our cash with one financial institution and the amount on deposit exceeds federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2018, 15% of our accounts receivable were due from one customer. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. We had no material cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are presented net of an estimate for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Accounts receivable, net was $3,342 and $7,664 as of January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an analysis of past credit history and the current financial condition of our customers, as well as the consideration of expected trends

 

F-8


Table of Contents

OLO INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)

 

based upon characteristics of the accounts and general economic conditions. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018 and changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts during the year ended December 31, 2018 were immaterial.

Deferred Contract Costs

We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a revenue contract, including sales commissions for new and renewal revenue contracts, certain related incentives, and associated payroll tax and fringe benefit costs. Capitalized amounts are recoverable through future revenue streams under all customer contracts.

We allocate costs capitalized for contracts to the related performance obligations and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit of those performance obligations. We determined that commissions paid on renewals are commensurate with commissions paid on initial customer contracts and are therefore amortized on a straight-line basis over the renewal period stated in the renewal contract. Amortization of costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

We periodically evaluate whether there have been any changes in our business, market conditions, or other events which would indicate that the amortization period should be changed, or if there are potential indicators of impairment. As of December 31, 2018, we have not identified any potential indicators of impairment.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net is recorded at cost, and presented net of accumulated depreciation. Cost and the related accumulated depreciation are deducted from the accounts upon retirement. Significant additions or improvements extending the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease, or the useful life of the assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, we first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. No impairment was required on long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Security Deposit

We recognized a non-current asset related to a security deposit of $298 for an operating lease agreement, which expires in 2023.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts recognized for income tax purposes. We periodically review the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide valuation allowances as deemed necessary to reduce such deferred tax assets to the amount that will, more likely than not, be realized.

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence for each jurisdiction including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. In the event we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.

The amount of deferred tax provided is calculated using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. The impact of tax law changes is recognized in periods when the change is enacted.

A two-step approach is applied in the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalty expenses associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. We are required to file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 inputs: Based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs: Based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 inputs: Based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities, and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

(amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)

 

The following summarizes assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

 

     December 31, 2018  
     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3

Total

   $             —      $             —      $     4,216  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the period presented.

The fair value measurement of the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. We estimated the fair value of the liability using the Option Pricing Method and the change in fair value was recognized as an other expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 10 for information on the Level 3 inputs used to estimate the fair value of this liability.

Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date. The recorded amount of the line of credit approximates fair value as it is based upon rates available for obligations of similar terms and maturities.

The carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock is accreted to redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using the effective interest method. Increases to the carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock recognized in each period are charged to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid in capital.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

We issued freestanding warrants to purchase our redeemable convertible preferred stock which are recognized as liabilities at fair value on the accompanying balance sheet since these warrants may obligate us to transfer assets to the warrant holders at a future date under certain circumstances. The warrants are subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. We will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue primarily from platform fees to access our software platform and professional services. Revenue is recognized when control of these services transfers to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

We apply the principles in the standard using the following steps:

 

   

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

 

   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Determine the transaction price

 

   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to various governmental authorities are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price and presented on a net basis in our statement of operations. Any balance collected and not paid, is reflected as a liability on the balance sheet.

Platform Revenue

Platform revenue primarily consists of fees generated when we provide our customers access to one or more of our Ordering, Dispatch and Rails modules of our cloud application, with routine customer support.

Our subscription contracts are non-cancellable and typically begin with a minimum three-year term with automatic, annual renewal periods thereafter. The majority of platform services revenue is derived from subscription fees from our Ordering module, which provides digital ordering capabilities for end consumers to place food orders online from restaurants. The Ordering module is a stand-ready obligation to provide access to the platform that is satisfied over the contract term. Our contracts for the Ordering module provide for monthly fixed fees or monthly fixed fees for a specified quantity of orders processed on the platform, plus monthly overage fees. We generally bill customers on a monthly basis, in arrears. We allocate the variable consideration related to the monthly overages to the distinct month or other period during which the related services were performed as those fees relate specifically to providing the Ordering module of the platform in the period and represents the consideration we are entitled to for the access to the platform. As a result, the fixed monthly fees and monthly overages are included in the transaction price and recognized as revenue in the period in which the fee was generated.

Our Dispatch module enables our restaurant customers to offer, manage, and expand delivery to its customers. Our customers for the Dispatch module are both the restaurants and delivery service providers (“DSPs”). The Dispatch module connects restaurants with DSPs to facilitate the ordering and delivery of orders to the restaurant’s customer. We typically collect a per transaction fee from both the restaurant and the DSP. Revenue is recognized when we have arranged for a DSP to deliver the order to the end consumer.

Our Rails module allows our customers to control and manage menu availability and pricing and location information while directly integrating orders from third-party channels. Our performance obligation is a stand-ready obligation to provide access to the Rails module that is satisfied over the contract term. We typically receive a fee from the third-party channel for each transaction processed. No minimum monthly amounts or overage fees are charged to third-party channel in these arrangements. Although we do not directly charge our Ordering customers for these transactions, the transactions count toward the specified quantity and overages activity used in determining our Ordering customers monthly Ordering revenue.

Professional Services and Other Revenue

Professional services and other revenue primarily consists of fees for platform implementation services. The implementation fees in our contracts are generally variable, consisting of either a fixed fee or a fixed monthly fee over the duration of the implementation project. For contracts with fixed monthly fees, we estimate this variable consideration using the expected value method whereby, at contract inception, we estimate how many months it will take to implement the platform into the customer environment, including time to onboard restaurant franchise locations. This estimate is multiplied by the fixed monthly professional services fee to determine the transaction price, which is recognized over time as the services are performed. The transaction price may be subject to constraint and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. For arrangements where we charge monthly fees, any additional months required for implementation are billed at the same fixed monthly fee. Our customers benefit from our services as they are provided, and we use a cost-to-cost measure of progress to recognize revenue from our implementation services.

In certain contracts, we engage third parties to assist in providing professional services to our customers. We determined we are the principal in transferring these services to the customer and recognize revenue on a gross basis. We control the services being provided to our customer and are responsible for ensuring that the services are performed and are acceptable to our customer. That is, we are responsible for fulfillment of the promise in the contract with our customer, and we also have discretion in setting the price with our customer.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. We identify performance obligations in a contract with a customer based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are capable of being distinct and that are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If not considered distinct, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Identifying distinct performance obligations in a contract requires judgment. Our performance obligations primarily include access to our platform and its different modules and implementation services associated with the platform.

Implementation services that require us to perform significant customization and modification of our platform to interface with the customer’s environment are not distinct from the platform. Since our Ordering customers can renew their agreements without paying for implementation again upon renewal, we considered the discounted fees at renewal to provide a material right to the customer. That is, because the customer can renew the implemented service at a discount from the original transaction price, we considered the discount to be a material right since it provides the customer a significant discount to future services. Our obligation to provide future services at a discount is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize the fair value of the material right over the expected customer life, which commences when the implementation services are complete and the customer obtains access to the platform.

All other implementation services are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is

 

F-13

(amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)

 

allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine standalone selling price based on the price at which the distinct good or service is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions, internally approved pricing and cost-plus expected margin guidelines related to the performance obligations.

Unearned Revenue

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized upon invoicing and payment will become due solely due to the passage of time. We record a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing or payment is contingent upon transfer of control of another separate performance obligation. We record unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to cash collection. Unearned revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current, and the remaining unearned revenue is recorded as non-current. Contract assets that will be billed to the customer during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current and the remaining contract asset is recorded as non-current.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days. We elected the practical expedient to not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less.

Cost of Revenue

Platform. Platform cost of revenue primarily consists of costs directly related to our platform services, including expenses for customer support and infrastructure personnel, including salaries, taxes, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, which we refer to as personnel costs, third-party software licenses, hosting, and data center related costs and allocated overhead costs associated with delivering these services.

Professional services and Other. Professional services and other cost of revenue consists primarily of the personnel costs of our deployment team associated with delivering these services and overhead allocations.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering and product development personnel costs and allocated overhead costs. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of sales, marketing and other personnel costs, commissions, general marketing and promotional activities, and allocated overhead costs. Sales commissions earned by our salesforce are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period.

We expense all advertising costs when incurred. We incurred advertising expenses of approximately $363 during the year ended December 31, 2018. Advertising expense is recorded as a component of sales and marketing expenses in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and contractor fees for finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and other administrative functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses include travel-related expenses and allocated overhead.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized ratably in earnings, generally over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. We adjust compensation expense based on actual forfeitures as necessary.

Time-Based Service Awards

Our stock options generally vest ratably over a four-year period and the fair value of our awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Awards with graded vesting features are recognized over the requisite service period for the entire award. The determination of the grant date fair value of stock awards issued is affected by a number of variables and subjective assumptions, including (i) the fair value of the our common stock, (ii) the expected common stock price volatility over the expected life of the award, (iii) the expected term of the award, (iv) risk-free interest rates, (v) the exercise price, and (vi) the expected dividend yield of our common stock.

The fair value of our shares of common stock underlying the awards has historically been determined by the board of directors with input from management and contemporaneous third-party valuations, as there was no public market for our common stock. The board of directors determines the fair value of the common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including: the valuation of comparable companies, our operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common stock, transactions in our common stock, and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors.

We derive the volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of several peer public companies over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. We selected companies with comparable characteristics to us, including enterprise value, risk profiles, and position within the industry and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected term of the stock options. The historical volatility data has been computed using the daily closing prices for the selected companies.

For employee awards granted at-the-money, we estimate the expected term based on the simplified method, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term for each award since our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. For non-employee awards and employee awards granted out-of-the-money, our best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant whose term is consistent with the expected life of the award. Expected dividend yield is 0.0% as we have not paid and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.

Upon the exercise of a stock option award, shares of common stock are issued from authorized but unissued shares.

Performance-Based Awards

We also granted Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) that vest only upon the satisfaction of performance-based conditions. The performance-based conditions are satisfied upon the occurrence of a qualifying event, defined as the earlier of (i) the closing of certain change in control transactions, or (ii) an IPO. We record stock-based compensation expense for performance-based equity awards when the performance-based conditions are considered probable to be satisfied. As of December 31, 2018, we had not recognized stock-based compensation expense for awards with performance-based conditions since the qualifying events described above are not considered probable. In the period in which these qualifying events becomes probable, we will record stock-based compensation expense determined using the grant-date fair values.

For performance-based SARs, we determine the grant-date fair value utilizing the valuation model as described above for time-based awards.

Leases

We categorize leases at their inception as either operating or capital. In the ordinary course of business, we entered into a non-cancelable operating lease for office space. We recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis and treat lease incentives as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the agreement. The difference between cash rent payments and rent expense is recorded as a deferred rent liability.

Net Loss Per Share

We compute net loss per share using the two class method required for participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period has been distributed. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in our losses. As such, net losses for the period presented were not allocated to participating securities.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which we reported net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which replaces the existing guidance on the recognition of revenue as well as costs to obtain revenue contracts. We early adopted the new

 

F-16


Table of Contents

(amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)

 

standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. We utilized the transitional practical expedients to apply the standard to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018 and to aggregate the effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the adoption date. The cumulative effect upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, was an adjustment of $2,121 to decrease the accumulated deficit as January 1, 2018. Refer to Note 3 for details.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes which removes the requirement to split deferred income taxes between current and non-current. Instead, the new accounting guidance requires all deferred income taxes to be reported as non-current. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and noted no material impact to the financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the financial statements. We prospectively record excess tax benefits and deficiencies that result when stock-based awards vest, are exercised or are settled within the provision for income taxes in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss; all such excess tax benefits were fully offset by a valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified on the statement of cash flows under ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We early adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” (“ASU 2017-09”) to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms and conditions of a stock-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 also provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. We adopted ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,Improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which expands the scope of Topic 718, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new standard supersedes Subtopic 505-50. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but not earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606. We adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2018, which coincides with our adoption date of Topic 606. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities which updated guidance to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the fiscal year of adoption. We expect to adopt the updated guidance in fiscal year 2019 and do not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date; (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption. On November 15, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which deferred the effective date of the standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We plan to adopt this standard as of the effective date for private companies using the modified retrospective approach for all leases entered into before the effective date. The impact of our adoption of Topic 842 to our financial statements will be to recognize the operating lease commitments as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, which will result in an increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet. We are continuing our assessment, which may identify additional impacts Topic 842 will have on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract a new accounting update to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We have not yet determined the impact the revised guidance will have on our financial statements.

Contract Asset

As described in Note 2, professional services revenue is generally recognized ratably over the implementation period, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. Platform revenue is recognized as the services are delivered. Under Topic 606, we will record a contract asset when

revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the billings and unearned revenue when the billings or payments on a contract exceed the revenue recognized. Our standard billing terms are monthly; however, the billings may not be consistent with the pattern of recognition, based on when services are performed. Contract assets were $1,313 and $1,216 as of January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscription services and is recognized as revenue when transfer of control to customers has occurred. During 2018, we recognized $946 of revenue related to contracts that were included in unearned revenue at January 1, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, our remaining performance obligations were $20,880, approximately 49% of which we expect to recognize as revenues over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. These amounts only include contracts subject to a guaranteed fixed amount or the guaranteed minimum under variable contracts. Unrecognized revenues under contract disclosed above do not include (1) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less; (2) contracts for which variable consideration is determined based on the customer’s subsequent sale or usage, and (3) agreements for which our right to invoice corresponds with the value provided to the customer.

Line of Credit

In May 2012, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Square 1 Bank (the “Square 1 Loan Agreement”) for a revolving line of credit with a maturity date of May 15, 2013. Since the original agreement, we have executed subsequent amendments to extend the maturity date until March 2019. On December 1, 2018, we amended the Loan Agreement (the “Amended Loan and Security Agreement”) for the revolving line of credit and extended the maturity date to December 1, 2019. On November 12, 2019, we amended the Loan Agreement to extend the line of credit maturity date to February 1, 2020.

Under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, we can borrow up to $15,000 under the Formula Revolving Line, of which $10,000 became available immediately and an additional $5,000 was to became available if we achieved recurring revenue during a three consecutive month period of at least $3,000 prior to September 30, 2019. Advances under the Formula Revolving Line bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.75% above the Prime Rate then in effect; or (B) 5.00%. The effective rate of interest as of December 31, 2018 was 6.25%.

The Amended Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and we were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, we had $3,500 of outstanding borrowings under the line.

Interest expense related to the line of credit was $173 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Deferred issuance costs were immaterial for the Square 1 Loan Agreement and the Amended Loan and Security Agreement and were expensed as incurred.

On February 11, 2020, we amended the Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Western Bank (successor in interest by merger to Square 1 Bank), allowing us to borrow up to $35,000 under a formula revolving line of credit, of which $25,000 became available to us immediately on the agreement date. An additional $10,000 will become available under the credit facility upon our achievement of revenue of at least $75,000 in the year ended December 31, 2020. The amount available to us at any time is the lesser of (A) $25,000 (or $35,000 if revenue targets are achieved) or (B) five times our previous month’s recurring revenue. We can also borrow up to $5,000 under a non-formula revolving line with aggregate borrowings under the Formula and Non-Formula line not to exceed $25,000 (or $35,000 if revenue targets are achieved). Advances under the formula revolving line of credit bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.20% above Pacific Western Bank’s prime rate then in effect; or (B) 4.50%. Advances under the non-formula revolving line of credit bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.75% above Pacific Western Bank’s prime rate then in effect; or (B) 5.00%. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears. We may prepay advances under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, and the credit facility matures on February 11, 2022. Our obligations under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. Accordingly, the line of credit has been classified as a noncurrent liability on the accompanying balance sheet.

The credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that require Pacific Western Bank’s consent to, among other things, merge or consolidate or acquire assets outside the ordinary course of business, make investments, incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness of others, pay dividends and redeem and repurchase our capital stock, enter into transactions with affiliates outside the ordinary course of business and create liens on our assets. We are also required to comply with certain minimum EBITDA and minimum revenue covenants.

The credit facility also contains events of default that if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the credit facility, an increase in the applicable interest rate under the credit facility to a per annum rate equal to 5.00% above the applicable interest rate and would permit Pacific Western Bank to exercise remedies with respect to all of the collateral that is securing the credit facility.

Pacific Western Bank has the right to terminate its obligation to make further advances to us immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default. We may terminate the formula revolving line or the non-formula revolving line at any time prior to the maturity date, upon two business days written notice to Pacific Western Bank, at which time all then outstanding obligations arising under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, including any unpaid interest thereon, will accelerate and become immediately due and payable.

Secondary Transaction

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we facilitated a transaction whereby a third-party investor purchased 337,800 shares of our common stock from our employees (the “Secondary Transaction”). The offer was extended to employees as of November 26, 2018 (“Offer Date”) with at least two years of continuous service to the Company as of October 31, 2018 (“Record Date”). Executive officers or employees with at least four years of service as of the Record Date had the rights to sell 15% of their shares of common stock, options and stock appreciation rights as of the Record Date. Non-executive officers who have been with the Company less than four years had the rights to sell 15% of their shares of common stock and options. In connection with this transaction, the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the shares of $2,831 was recognized as stock-based compensation.

The following are the relevant terms related to each series of redeemable convertible preferred stock issued:

Dividends

Dividends are payable to preferred shareholders prior to payment of any dividend to holders of common stock. Dividends are payable when and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available, and such dividends are not cumulative. The dividend rates on each series of preferred stock is 8% per annum of the original issue price per series of preferred stock. In the event our board of directors declares a dividend payable on the common stock, the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to receive the amount of dividends per share of preferred stock that would be payable on the number of whole shares of the common stock into which each share of such preferred stock held by each holder could be converted into. No dividends have been declared as of December 31, 2018.

Liquidation

Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company or a deemed liquidation event as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the stock holders preferred stock will receive in preference to the common stockholders, an amount per share equal to the greater of (1) the liquidation preference, plus all dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, or (2) the amount the holders would receive on an as-converted into common stock basis. The full preferential amount is first paid to the holders of the series of convertible stock that was most recently issued then to the stockholders of the next level of preference in order (Series D preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, Series B preferred stock and Series A-1 preferred stock (ranked pari passu), and Series A preferred stock, which are listed in order of highest liquidation preference to lowest). If the available funds and assets become insufficient to satisfy the full preferential payment to the stockholders of a particular series of preferred stock in order, then all of the available funds and assets shall be distributed among the holders of that series of preferred stock pro rata based on the amounts to which such holders would otherwise be entitled. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of preferred stock, the remaining assets of the Company are available for distribution to the holders of common stock on a pro rata basis. These liquidation features cause the preferred stock to be classified as mezzanine equity rather than as a component of stockholders’ deficit.

Conversion Rights

Each share of preferred stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares as is determined by dividing the original issue price by the conversion price in effect at the time. As of December 31, 2018, the conversion price is $2.34, $2.80, $11.84, $11.84, and $28.38 for the Series A, Series A-1, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, each share of Series A and Series A-1 preferred stock was convertible into ten shares of common stock and each share of Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock was convertible into one share of common stock.

All outstanding shares of preferred stock will automatically convert upon the earlier of the completion of an IPO resulting in net proceeds to the Company of at least $75.0 million at a price per share of at least two times the Series D original issue price or the vote or written consent of a majority

of the holders of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted to common stock basis, including the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series D preferred stock, voting as a separate class.

Redemption

The Series D preferred stock are redeemable for cash at any time on or after five years from January 12, 2016, the original issue date of the Series D preferred stock, in three annual installments commencing not more than 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D preferred stock. The redemption price is equal to the Series D original issue price plus all declared but unpaid dividends.

The Series C preferred stock are redeemable at any time on or after the later of (i) five years from January 12, 2016 and (ii) the first date after January 12, 2016 on which no shares of Series D preferred stock remain outstanding, in three annual installments commencing not more than 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the holders of (A) a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted to common stock basis and (B) a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock, voting together as a separate class. The redemption price is equal to the Series C original issue price plus all declared but unpaid dividends.

The Series A, Series A-1, and Series B preferred stock are redeemable at any time on or after the later of (i) five years from January 12, 2016 and (ii) the first date after January 12, 2016 on which no shares of Series D and Series C preferred stock remain outstanding, in three annual installments commencing not more than 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the holders of (A) a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted to common stock basis. The redemption price is equal to the original issue price of each respective series plus all declared but unpaid dividends.

If the funds of the Company are not sufficient to redeem the full number of shares, the funds legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of each series of preferred stock.

In February 2020, we amended the redeemable convertible preferred stock redemption provisions. See Note 14.

Voting

Each holder of preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares held by such holder are convertible and has full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock, and except as provided by law or by other provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall vote together with the common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis on all matters as to which holders of common stock have the right to vote.

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share as determined on the record date for the vote provided that holders of common stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the certificate of incorporation that relates to the terms of one or more outstanding share of preferred stock.

At any time when at least 27,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of Series A preferred stock, voting separately as a single class, are entitled to elect one director of the Company’s board of directors. At any time when at least 125,000 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of Series A-1 preferred stock, voting separately as a single class, are entitled to elect two directors of the Company’s board of directors. At any time when at least 200,000 shares of Series C preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of Series C preferred stock, voting separately as a single class, are entitled to elect one director of the Company’s board of directors. At any time when at least 200,000 shares of Series D preferred stock are outstanding, the holders of Series D preferred stock, voting separately as a single class, are entitled to elect two directors of the Company’s board of directors. The holders of shares of common stock, voting separately as a single class, are entitled to elect one member of the Company’s board of directors. All remaining members of the Company’s board of directors are elected by the holders of the common stock and preferred stock voting together as a single class.

Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted two equity incentive plans: the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) and the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan” and collectively, “Plans”). The 2015 Plan serves as the successor to the 2005 Plan and provides for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock units, or RSUs to employees, directors, consultants and advisors.

Stock options under the Plans may be granted with contractual terms of up to ten years (or five years if granted to a 10.0% stockholder) and at prices no less than 100.0% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the board of directors; provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an incentive stock option (“ISO”) and nonqualified stock option (“NSO”) granted to a greater than 10.0% stockholder shall not be less than 110.0% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant. Awards granted under the Plans generally vest over four years and include the right of first refusal in favor of the Company in connection with any proposed sale or transfer of the related shares to third-parties.

The maximum number of shares available for issuance to participants under the Plan is 2,229,610 and there were 63,998 shares available to be issued at December 31, 2018.

In 2018, we granted 94,850 SARs to employees. The SARs are equity-classified and are measured at their grant date fair value. These awards vest only on a change of control or initial public offering and compensation expense of $2,723 will be recognized at such time. If vesting does occur, the award can be settled in cash or common stock at our option equal to (a) the excess of (i) fair value of common stock measured on the vesting date over (ii) the measurement price per SAR of $1 multiplied by (b) the number of vested SARs subject to the award. The aggregate intrinsic value of the SARs as of December 31, 2018 was $4,106.

3,724 Series B convertible preferred stock warrants was extended from September 30, 2018 to January 31, 2019 and the warrants were exercised for cash consideration of $44 in January 2019. The modification of the term did not have a material impact on the financial statements. In addition, warrants to purchase 4,741 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised for $21.

We allocated our enterprise value, which was estimated using a market approach, to all classes of equity, including the Series A-1, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock warrants, using the Option Pricing Method. This method treats classes having the attributes of common stock and preferred stock securities as call options on the value of the company equity, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of preferred stockholders. Our classes of stock are modeled as a call option that give the owner the right to buy the underlying enterprise value at an exercise price. As such, the exercise price is based on a comparison with the enterprise value.

The estimated value allocated to warrants includes assumptions related to the fair value of the enterprise, expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of a group of comparable companies. The estimated expected term represents the estimated point for when liquidity will be achieved. Dividend yields are based upon historical dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the estimated expected term. The redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants are classified as Level 3 financial instruments.

The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of warrants as of December 31, 2018:

Assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets requires the determination of whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carryback and tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative loss in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established as of December 31, 2018, and no deferred tax assets and related tax benefit have been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The valuation allowance recorded represents a $3,872 increase from the full valuation allowance that was recorded as of December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $48,611 of federal net operating losses and $39,871 of state net operating losses. Approximately $31,286 of the federal net operating losses will expire at various dates beginning in 2025 through 2037 if not utilized. Approximately $17,325 of the federal net operating loss relating to the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 will have an indefinite life. Of the state net operating losses, approximately $39,007 follow the Tax Cut and Jobs Act and are indefinite life and approximately $864 are definite life with various expiration dates beginning in 2025 through 2038. The federal research and development tax credits are approximately $1,331. The federal research credits will begin to expire in 2026.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in

the future, as provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as well as similar state provisions. Such annual limitation could result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before their utilization.

We file U.S. federal and state income tax returns with varying statutes of limitations. All tax years since inception remain open to examination due to the carryover of unused net operating losses and tax credits.

We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. We had not accrued any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

     December 31,
2018
 

Balance at the beginning of the year

   $ —    
Additions based upon tax positions related to the current year      284  
Additions for tax positions of prior years      —    
Reduction for tax positions of prior years      —    
Settlements      —    
Expiration of statute of limitations      —    
  

 

 

 
Balance at the end of the year    $                  284  
  

 

 

 

If the ending balance of $284 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018 were recognized, none of the recognition would affect the effective tax rate. We believe that it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $284 by December 31, 2019.

Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

We operate in the software industry, an industry with a history of frivolous intellectual property litigation. Until such time as the U.S. Congress passes patent reform laws, parties may, and have, asserted that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights. As such, we provide broad intellectual property indemnification to many of our largest customers, so assertions against our customers could be passed to us to defend. To date we are not aware of any pending or threatening litigation that management would view as a potential risk to our operations.

We believe there is no litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through February 12, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Leases

During June 2019, we signed an agreement for new office space in New York City that expires in 2030. Total rental payments to be paid over the course of the lease are approximately $28,714. In connection with the signing of the new lease, we subleased a portion of our current office space. Rental income escalates yearly and ranges from approximately $348 to $380 annually. The sublease expires in 2023.

Line of Credit

In November 2019 and February 2020, we amended the Loan Agreement (the “Amended Loan and Security Agreement”) for the revolving line of credit. See Note 7.

Stock-Based Compensation

During 2019 and 2020, we granted stock options to purchase 245,398 and 140,198 shares of common stock to employees and advisors. Additionally, 2,000 SARs were issued to employees during 2019.

During 2019 and 2020, 125,746 and 10,175 stock options were exercised for common stock for cash consideration of $432 and $24, respectively.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In February 2020, we amended our redeemable convertible preferred stock to extend the earliest redemption date from January 12, 2021 to January 12, 2023.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect on the completion of this offering permits indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our amended and restated bylaws that will be in effect on the completion of this offering provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and permit us to indemnify our employees and other agents, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers, whereby we have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Olo Inc., provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of Olo Inc. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of Olo Inc. regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

We maintain insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity as such.

The underwriters are obligated, under certain circumstances, under the underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, to indemnify us and our officers and directors against liabilities under the Securities Act.

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering.

The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed on the share certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) Exhibits.

See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately preceding the signature page for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-1, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules.

All financial statement schedules are omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or the notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and


Table of Contents

contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
