Emerging Growth Company Status
We currently qualify as 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. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards based on public company effective dates.
However, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter of 2022, the market value of our Class A common stock that was held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million, and as a result, we will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of the end of the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and we will be subject to certain requirements that apply to other public companies but did not previously apply to us due to our status as an emerging growth company, including the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which require that our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we will no longer be able to take advantage of the extended transition period as of the end of the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and we will be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Initial Public Offering
On March 19, 2021, we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 20,700,000 shares of our Class A common stock at the public offering price of $25.00 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $485.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. Upon completion of the IPO, $6.6 million of deferred offering costs, which consisted primarily of accounting, legal, and other fees related to our IPO, were reclassified into stockholders’ deficit as a reduction of the IPO proceeds.
Prior to the IPO, warrants to purchase 1,682,847 shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised and converted into redeemable convertible preferred stock. Upon completion of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock, inclusive of the shares issued pursuant to these warrant exercises, converted into 100,196,780 shares of Class B common stock. Additionally, upon completion of the IPO, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) granted to employees vested and settled, resulting in the issuance of 1,642,570 shares of Class B common stock.

2.Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The December 31, 20212022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but may not include all disclosures including certain footnotes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with our annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position as of June 30, 2022,2023, our results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022 and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20222023 or for any other future annual or interim period.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.24, 2023. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior period amounts haveEffective January 1, 2023, we began allocating certain employee-related costs to platform cost of revenues, sales and marketing, and research and development expenses. Previously, such costs had been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.presented within general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. These costs are allocated based on each department’s proportionate share of total employee headcount. We determined that these changes would better reflect industry practice and provide more meaningful information as well as increased transparency of our operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
We regularly assess these estimates, including but not limited to, stock-based compensation including the determination of the fair value of our stock-based awards, realization of deferred tax assets, estimated life of our long-lived assets, purchase price allocations for business combinations, valuation of the acquired intangibles purchased in a business combination, valuation of goodwill, estimated standalone selling price of our performance obligations, and estimated consideration for implementation services and transactional revenue in certain arrangements. We base these estimates on

(Unaudited)
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 our financial position and results of operations.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, there were no material changes to our criticalsignificant accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as described below.2022.
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
We are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily through our cash and short- and long-term investments held by financial institutions. We primarily deposit our cash with two financial institutions and the amount on deposit exceedshas exceeded federally insured limits.limits at various times. We reduce our credithave not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant risk by placingin cash, as we place our cash and investments with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no customer had a balance over 10% of our accounts receivable. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, one customer accounted for 12% of our revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2021,2022, one customer accounted for 12% and 16%13% of our revenue, respectively.
Credit Facility
On June 10, 2022, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Western Bank related to a revolving credit and term loan facility (the “Second Amended and Restated LSA”).
The Second Amended and Restated LSA includes a financial covenant requiring compliance with certain minimum revenue amounts. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated LSA contains representations and warranties generally consistent with the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 11, 2020, as amended (the “Prior LSA”), as well as certain non-financial covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends, or make certain investments. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $43.6 million of commitments available under the Second Amended and Restated LSA, after consideration of $25.0 million in our letter of credit to DoorDash and $1.4 million in our letter of credit on the lease of our former headquarters at One World Trade Center. As of June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit, and no amounts have been drawn against any of our letters of credit.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements, or recently adopted accounting guidance during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that are of significance or potential significance to us.

Investments
Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase based upon management’s intent with regard to such investments. Our investments are classified as available-for-sale at the time of purchase, and we reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments with remaining contractual maturities of one year or less from the balance sheet date, which are not considered cash equivalents, are classified as short-term investments, and those with remaining contractual maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. All investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses on sales and maturities of investments are determined based on the specific identification method and are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in interest income.
We perform periodic evaluations to determine whether any declines in the fair value of investments below cost are other-than-temporary. The evaluation consists of qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss, as well as our ability and intent to hold the investments until a forecasted recovery occurs. The impairments are considered to be other-than-temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the underlying securities will be sold prior to a full recovery of their cost basis. Other-than-temporary fair value impairments, if any, are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net are stated at net realizable value and include unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables arise primarily from transactional services provided in advance of billing. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for credit losses, are not collateralized, and do not bear interest. Payment terms vary by contract type but are generally due within 30 days. The accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included unbilled receivables of $0.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
We assess the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and maintain an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable deemed uncollectible. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, we analyzed our accounts receivable portfolio for significant risks, historical activity, and an estimate of future collectability to determine the amount that will ultimately be collected. This estimate is analyzed annually and adjusted as necessary or upon certain triggering events. Identified risks pertaining to our accounts receivable include the delinquency level, customer type, and current economic environment. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers.
The following summarizes our allowance for doubtful accounts activity (in thousands):

Business Combinations
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting and determine whether a transaction constitutes a business and is treated as a business combination or if the transaction does not constitute a business and is treated as an asset acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the
OLO INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
acquisition date. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including estimates of future revenue and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ materially from estimates. Our estimates associated with the accounting for business combinations may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any change in facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and impacts our estimates is recorded to goodwill if identified within the measurement period. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of fair value of assets and liabilities, whichever is earlier, the adjustments will affect our earnings.
Transaction related expenses incurred in a business combination are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as an expense in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest, if any, over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. We have no intangible assets, other than goodwill, with indefinite useful lives.
Intangible assets other than goodwill are comprised of acquired developed technology, customer relationships, and trademarks. At initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition are recognized at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at acquisition date fair value less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
We review goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st (beginning day of the fourth quarter) of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. In the first six months of 2022, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. In conducting our annual impairment test, we review qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform a quantitative assessment and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.
We assess the impairment of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Leases
Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, on January 1, 2022
We categorized leases at their inception as either operating or capital. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into non-cancelable operating leases for office space. We recognized lease costs on a straight-line basis and treated lease incentives as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the agreement. The difference between cash rent payments and rent expense was recorded as a deferred rent liability, with the amount expected to be amortized within the next twelve months classified as a current liability. We subleased a portion of our office space and recognize rental income on a straight-line basis as an offset to rent expense within general and administrative costs. The difference between cash rent payments received and rental income was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022
We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Our lease agreements are generally for office facilities, and the determination of whether such agreements contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. Our leases may also contain non-lease components such as payments of maintenance, utilities, and
OLO INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
taxes, which we have elected to account for separately, as these amounts are readily determinable. At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the minimum rental payments discounted using our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) over the lease term (or, if readily determinable, the rate implicit in the lease). The right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. We subleased a portion of our office space and recognize rental income on a straight-line basis as an offset to other leases costs, net within general and administrative expenses.
The lease term used to measure ROU lease assets and lease liabilities may include renewal options which are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Our leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 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 are required to allow financial statement users 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.
We adopted and began applying the standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and applied it to all existing leases as of the adoption date. We will continue to present prior period amounts under ASC 840, Leases. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which does not require us to reassess whether contracts that existed or expired prior to the adoption date contained an embedded lease, reassess historical lease classification, or evaluate initial direct costs for leases that were in effect at the adoption date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient related to determining the lease term.
As a result of implementing this guidance, we recognized $20.6 million in operating lease right-of-use assets as of January 1, 2022, and derecognized $2.4 million of previously recognized deferred rent. We also recorded $2.5 million in current operating lease liabilities and $18.1 million in operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment on retained earnings. See “Note 11—Leases” for additional details.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires an entity to utilize the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model results in more timely recognition of credit losses. This guidance also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans, and available-for-sale debt securities. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 606. Under prior guidance, an acquirer generally recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 results in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted ASU No 2021-08 as of January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption impact of the new standard was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard did not impact our contract assets or liabilities prior to the adoption date.

Contract Balances
Contract Assets
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 ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we record a contract asset when revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the billings. 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 $1.1$0.8 million and $1.0$0.6 million as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, 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 the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, we recognized $0.8$1.2 million of revenue related to contracts that were included in unearned revenue at December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $0.4 million of revenue related to contracts that were included in unearned revenue at December 31, 2020.2022.
As of June 30, 2022,2023, our remaining performance obligations were approximately $41.7$32.4 million, approximately 43%50% of which we expect to recognize as revenue over the next twelve months, and substantially all of the remaining revenue will be recognized thereafter over the next 24 to 48 months. These amounts only include contracts subject to a guaranteed fixed amount or the guaranteed minimum under variable contracts. Unrecognized revenues under contracts 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.

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.

4.Fair Value Measurement
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.

Wisely Acquisition
On October 21, 2021, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Wisely Inc. (“Wisely”), a customer intelligence and engagement platform for restaurants. We believe Wisely’s Guest Engagement and Front-of-House solutions complement our existing solution suite and enhance our value to our customers. We closed the acquisition on November 4, 2021 for total consideration of approximately $177.8 million, consisting of $75.2 million in cash (net of cash acquired), $96.6 million of Class A common stock, and $5.9 million of substituted stock options granted in connection with the acquisition. The fair values of the Class A common stock and substituted stock options were based on a price per Class A common share of $27.93, which is equal to the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of the transaction. As a result of the equity consideration component, we issued approximately 3.5 million shares of our Class A common stock and granted approximately 0.2 million fully vested stock options at the acquisition date. The fair value of the substituted options granted was based upon the estimated value of vested stock options held by Wisely employees immediately prior to the acquisition.
We recorded $0.3 million in transaction related expenses, primarily related to legal and insurance fees, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

We also required to pay a fee of 1.0% of the difference between (i) the highest outstanding principal balance during the term of the Second Amended and Restated LSA and (ii) $3.5 million if a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated LSA) occurs during the term and or within 24 months after the termination of the Second Amended and Restated LSA. Our obligationsavailable for issuance under the Second Amended and Restated LSA are secured by substantially all of our assets, including certain securities owned by us in any subsidiary.
The Second Amended and Restated LSA includes a financial covenant requiring compliance with certain minimum revenue amounts. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated LSA contains representations and warranties generally consistent with the Prior LSA, as well as certain non-financial covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends, or make certain investments. We were in compliance with these covenants2021 Plan effective as of June 30, 2022.
The Second Amended and Restated LSA 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. Any default that is not cured or waived could result in Pacific Western Bank exercising its rights and remedies under the Second Amended and Restated LSA, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the obligations under the Second Amended and Restated LSA and related documentation, and would permit Pacific Western Bank to exercise remedies with respect to all of the collateral that secured such obligations.

We sublease a portion of our former office space, which we ceased using in connection with the signingPSUs issued could range from 0% to 120% of the Headquarters Lease. The sublease expires in March 2023. As a result of the acquisition of Omnivore, we have a non-cancelable operating lease in Clearwater, Florida that expires in January 2025. Our lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the leases. Currently, there are no operating leases where we believe it is reasonably certain that we will exercise any option to extend the initial term.target amount.

12.Stockholders’ Equity
Changes in Capital Structure
On March 5, 2021, our Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amended and restated certificate of incorporation effecting a 17-for-1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and Series A, A-1, B, C, D, E preferred stock. Additionally, all outstanding equity instruments, including our time-based stock options, performance-based SARs, and preferred stock warrants, were adjusted to reflect the 17-for-1 forward stock split. The stock split was effected on March 5, 2021. The par value of the Class B common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split. All issued and outstanding Class B common stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock, warrants to purchase shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, and stock options, as well as the per share amounts, included in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this stock split for all periods presented.
On March 5, 2021, our Board of Directors and stockholders approved and we implemented a dual class common stock structure where all existing shares of common stock converted to Class B common stock and we authorized a new class of common stock, Class A common stock. The authorized share capital for Class A common stock is 1,700,000,000 and the authorized share capital for Class B common stock is 185,000,000. The Class A common stock is entitled to 1 vote per share and the Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. The Class A and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably, and are identical in all respects and for all matters except for voting, conversion, and transfer rights. The Class B common stock converts to Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder. References in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the dual class common stock structure and the changes in the number of authorized shares of common stock. We also authorized a total of 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Effective March 5, 2021, 124,012,926 outstanding shares of common stock were converted into an equivalent number of shares of our Class B common stock.Class A common stock and Class B common stock reserved for future issuance consisted of the following:

13.Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plans
On March 5, 2021, our Board of Directors adopted our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). Prior to that date, we had established our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) and 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan” and collectively with the 2021 Plan and 2015 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2021 Plan serves as the successor to the 2015 Plan and 2005 Plan and provides for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“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 greater than 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 our Board of Directors; provided, however, that the exercise price of an incentive stock option and nonqualified stock option 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.
Certain stock options have an early exercise feature. Shares purchased pursuant to the early exercise of stock options are subject to repurchase until those shares vest; therefore, cash received in exchange for unvested shares exercised is recorded as a liability on the accompanying condensed balance sheets, and is reclassified to Class B common stock and additional paid-in capital as the shares vest. There were 77,707 and 120,088 early exercised shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, there was a liability in the amount of $0.2 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our balance sheet because vesting is within the next 12 months.
On March 13, 2021, our Board of Directors adopted a non-employee director compensation policy that became effective upon our IPO. The policy provides for annual cash retainers for non-employee directors and an additional cash retainer for those non-employee directors that serve as chairpersons or members of our audit, compensation, nominating and corporate governance, and other committees. Additionally, directors will have the option to receive their annual retainer amounts in cash or equity. Each new non-employee director appointed to the Board of Directors after the IPO date will be granted an initial RSU award with a value of $0.3 million subject to vesting over a three-year period.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance to participants under the Plans was 25,044,499 and 20,615,612, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the number of shares available for issuance to participants under the Plans was 19,371,515 and 18,994,572, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no SARs were granted to employees. The SARs outstanding as of the time of the IPO were equity-classified and were measured at the grant date fair value. The SARs were vested and settled upon completion of the IPO and 1,642,570 shares of Class B common stock were issued in connection with this event. Compensation expense of $2.8 million was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On March 5, 2021, our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted ourThe employee stock purchase plan (“2021 ESPP”). The ESPP became effective immediately prior to the IPO. The ESPP authorized the issuance of 3,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to our employees or to employees of any of our designated affiliates. The number of shares of our Class A common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, commencing on January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (1) 1.0% of the total number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or (2) 11,700,000 Class A common shares; provided, that prior to the date of any such increase, our Board of Directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in clauses (1) and (2). Employees may contribute, normally through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their earnings for the purchase of our Class A common stock under the ESPP. Our Class A common stock will be purchased for the accounts of employees participating in the ESPP at a price per Class A common share equal to the lower of (a) 85% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the first trading date of an offering, or (b) 85% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of purchase. The current offering period began in June 20222023 and ends in December 2022.2023. Pursuant to the evergreen provisions of the 2021 ESPP, the Board of Directors approved an automatic increase of 1,050,883 additional shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP effective as of January 1, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, a total of 5,785,854 shares are available for issuance to employees under the 2021 ESPP. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million of compensation expense associated with our ESPP.2021 ESPP, respectively.

Upon completion of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock, inclusive of the shares issued pursuant to these warrant exercises, converted into 100,196,780 shares of Class B common stock.

We recorded a benefit for income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 is driven primarily by the release of a portion of our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets following the recording of a deferred income tax liability as part of our accounting for the acquisition of Omnivore and adjustments to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets partially offset by state taxes.and adjustments for share-based compensation. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our net federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
We evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of our deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and have determined that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, we maintain a full valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets. When we determine that we will be able to realize some portion or all of our deferred tax assets, an adjustment to our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets would have the effect of increasing net income in the period such determination is made.
We applied ASC 740, Income Taxes, and determined that we do not have any uncertain positions that would result in a tax reserve for each of the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. We are subject to U.S. federal tax authority and state tax authority examinations.
16.10.Commitments and Contingencies
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. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible, and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we will disclose the possible loss in the notes to our financial statements. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
We have also received, and mayOn September 26, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the future continueUnited States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims under the federal securities laws against us and certain of our executive officers. On December 21, 2022, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel on behalf of the putative class, following which the case was captioned Steamship Trade Association of Baltimore - International Longshoremen’s Association Pension Fund v. Olo Inc., et al. (Case No.1:22-cv-08228-JSR). On January 13, 2023, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting claims on behalf of a putative class composed of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between August 10, 2021 and August 11, 2022 (the “Amended Complaint”). The Amended Complaint asserts a claim against all defendants for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b5 promulgated thereunder and a claim under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against Mr. Glass and Mr. Benevides as alleged controlling persons. The Amended Complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning our business relationship with the restaurant brand Subway and our publicly disclosed “active locations” counts, and that these alleged false and misleading statements caused losses and damages for members of the putative class. The Amended Complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other unspecified relief that the Court deems appropriate. On February 3, 2023, we filed a motion to receive,dismiss the Amended Complaint. On April 10, 2023, the Court issued a summary order denying our motion to dismiss. On July 25, 2023, however, the Court issued its full written opinion on our motion to dismiss, which dismissed the allegations in the Amended Complaint concerning our business relationship with the restaurant brand Subway. On July 26, 2023, the Court granted lead plaintiff leave to file a second amended complaint by August 9, 2023. We believe the case is without merit and are vigorously defending this matter.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements with respect to our transaction volumes, our net revenue retention rate, and new and existing customer adoption of multi-modules, 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 elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 25, 2022.24, 2023, and our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
We are Olo, a leading open SaaS platform for restaurants.
Our platform powers restaurant brands’ on-demand digital commerce operations, enabling digital ordering, delivery, front-of-house or FOH, management, and payments, while further strengthening and enhancing restaurants’ direct consumerguest relationships. ConsumersGuests 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 increasing demand in a cost-effective manner. We provide restaurants with a business-to-business-to-consumer,business-to-business-to-guest, enterprise-grade, open SaaS platform to manage their complex digital businesses and enable fast and more personalized experiences for their guests. 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 us to increase their digital omni-channel sales, maximize profitability, establish and maintain direct consumerguest relationships, and collect, protect, and leverage valuable consumerguest data.
As a result of our ability to meet restaurant brands’ growing needs, gross merchandise value,volume, or GMV, which we define as the gross value of orders processed through our platform, has increased on an annual basis, reaching more than $20$23 billion in GMV during the year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that2022, and gross payment volume, or GPV, which we define as the gross volume of payments processed through our Olo Pay module, has reached $250 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Management uses GMV is an important metricand GPV to provide management with an indication ofassess demand for our products. We also believe these metrics provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. Our well-established platform has led many of the major publicly traded and top 50 fastest growing private restaurant brands, measured by overall sales, in the United States to work with us and has been a factor in our high dollar-based net revenue retention.retention approximating 115% for the three months ending June 30, 2023. See the section titled “Key Factors Affecting Our Performance” belowentitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on how we calculate dollar-based net revenue retention. Further, industry-recognized outlets, including Restaurant Business Online, QSR Magazine, and APNation’s Restaurant News, have also deemed Olo a leading food ordering platform for the restaurant industry.
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. OurFor over 15 years, we have developed our platform initially focused onin collaboration with many of the leading restaurant brands in the United States. We believe our Order Managementplatform is the only independent open SaaS platform for restaurants to enable hospitality with modern solutions athat allow brands to:

Leading restaurant brands trust Olo’s enterprise-grade platform for its capabilities, reliability, security, scalability, and interoperability. Our platform currently handles, on average, more than 2 million orders per day. In 2021,day, and more than 85 million consumersguests have transacted on our platform.platform over the last year. We continually invest in architectural improvements so that our system can scale in tandem with our continued growth. Additionally, both internal and external security experts frequently test our system for vulnerabilities. To our knowledge, weWe have never experienced a material breach of customer or consumerguest data. Our open SaaS platform integrates with over 300 restaurant technology solutions including point-of-sale, or POS, systems, aggregators, delivery service providers, or DSPs, ordering service providers, or OSPs, payment processors, user experience or UX,and user interface or UI, providers, and loyalty programs, on-premise ordering providers, kitchen display systems, or KDS, labor management providers, inventory management providers, and reservation and customer relationship management, or CRM, giving our customers significant control over the configuration and features of their distinct digital offering.
We are the exclusive direct digital ordering provider for ourmany leading brands across all service models of the restaurant industry, including quick service, fast casual, casual dining, family dining, and coffee and snack food. Our contracts typically have initial terms of three years or longer, with continuous one-yearone-to-two-year automatic renewal periods, providing visibility into our future financial performance. Our enterprise brands meaning those brands having 100 or more locations, tend to be highly loyal.
We have a highly efficient go-to-market model as a result of our industry thought leadership, partnership approach with our restaurant customers, and experienced enterprise sales, customer success, and deployment teams. Unlike other enterprise software businesses, where the sales team works to addsell to a single location or division and expand to others, we enter into relationships at the brand’s corporate level and strive to secure exclusivity across all locations. ThisWe consider each specific restaurant brand to be a customer, even if owned by a parent organization that owns multiple restaurant brands. In addition, each restaurant brand may have hundreds or even thousands of individual operators (sometimes referred to as “franchisees”) who own and operate a specific location or locations. It may take time to get all locations deployed, or we may not ultimately deploy all locations due to varying factors. For example, operator locations generally have more latitude in terms of their use of brand-endorsed solutions. Our relationship at the brand’s corporate level, however, enables us to deploymarket our modules across all new and existing brand locations without any additional sales and marketing costs, and upsell new offerings to the brand itself, rather than 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 consumersguests 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, Switchboard, Kiosk, Virtual Brands, Kiosk, Catering, Sync, GDP, Marketing, Automation, Sentiment, GDP, and Host modules. 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 primarily includes revenue generated from our Rails, Dispatch, Virtual Brands,Rails, and Olo Pay modules. In most cases, we also charge aggregators, channel partners, and other service providers in our ecosystem on a per transaction basis for access to our Rails and Dispatch modules. We also derive transactional revenue from other products, includingour Network module, which allows brands to take orders from non-aggregator digital channels (e.g., Order with Google, Food Ordering, which enables restaurants to fulfill orders directly through Google searchSearch results and Google Maps pages). These products generate and generates fees predominantly through revenue sharing agreements with partners.
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 over 600 existing brands across approximately 82,000 active locations as of June 30, 2022, up from
approximately 74,000 active locations as of June 30, 2021. We define an “active location” as a unique restaurant location that is utilizing one or more modules in a given quarterly period. We consider each specific restaurant brand to be a customer, even if owned by a parent organization that owns multiple restaurant brands. 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.modules. 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 contracts typically have initial terms of three years or longer, with continuous one-yearone-to-two-year automatic renewal periods, providing visibility into our future performance.
One indication of our ability to grow within our customer base, through the development of our products that our customers value, is our average revenue per unit, or ARPU.unit. We calculate ARPUour average revenue per unit by dividing the total platform revenue in a given period by the average active locations in that same period. We believe this demonstrates our ability to grow within our customer base through the development of our products that our customers value. Our ability to retain and increase revenue from existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including fluctuations in our customers’ spending levels, our customers’ ability to deploy our modules, fluctuations in the number of transactions processed by our customers on the platform, the average number of active locations, and the ability of our customers to switch to a competitor or develop their own internalsolutions to replace our products. We have experienced, and will continue to experience, certain of our customers or locations reducing or terminating their usage of our platform solutions.as a result of developing their own solutions that do not utilize any or all of our modules or moving to a competitor.
The following summarizes our ARPUaverage revenue per unit and approximate number of active locations for the three months ended, or as of, each of the dates presented.
| | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Three Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2023 | | 2022 |
| Average Revenue Per Unit | Average Revenue Per Unit | $ | 544 | | | $ | 486 | | Average Revenue Per Unit | $ | 716 | | | $ | 544 | |
| Ending Active Locations | Ending Active Locations | 82,000 | | | 74,000 | | Ending Active Locations | 77,000 | | | 82,000 | |
A further indication ofAnother metric used to demonstrate the propensity of our customers to continue to work with and expand their relationship with us over time is our dollar-based net revenue retention, rate, or NRR, which compares our revenue from the same set of active customers in one period to the prior year period. An active customer is a specific restaurant brand that utilizes one or more of our modules in a given quarterly period. We calculate dollar-based NRRnet revenue retention as of a period-end by starting with the revenue, defined as platform revenue, from the cohort of all active customers as of 12 months prior to such period-end, or the prior period revenue. We then calculate the platform revenue from these same customers as of the current period-end, or the current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but excludes platform revenue from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total current period revenue by the total prior period revenue to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based NRR.net revenue retention. We believe that NRRnet revenue retention is an important metric to our investors, demonstrating our ability to retain our customers and expand their use of our modules over time, proving the stability of our revenue base and the long-term value of our customer relationships.
For the period endingquarter ended June 30, 2022, we2023, net revenue retention was approximately 115%. We have maintained an NRR of approximately 106%. While we maintained an NRR over 120% throughout 2021, 2020, and 2019, we observed a decline in NRR in the first and second quarters of 2022 as we lapped the last pre-vaccination period of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which time order volumes were elevated, and the final quarter operating under our prior DoorDash agreement. We expect to return to NRRnet revenue retention in excess of 120%100% throughout the past several years, and expect to continue this trend in the near term as customers continue to adopt additional product modules such as Olo Pay, FOHGDP, Marketing, Sentiment, and Guest Engagement solutions.Host.
We believe that, in the near term, average revenue per unit and net revenue retention will be greater drivers of growth than total active locations. This is due to the potential opportunity for further multi-module penetration and continued growth in digital ordering across our existing customer base. Additionally, because multi-module penetration can vary across active locations, fluctuations in active locations may not be a clear indication of performance. An example of this would be when a brand has transitioned from our platform and the associated total revenue or revenue per unit of that brand is not material or less than our average.
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 whichthat utilize our products. Higher transaction volumes may enable us to generate additional subscription and transaction revenue. As on-demand digital commerce grows to represent a larger share of total food consumption, we expect to significantly benefit from this secular trend as we capture a portion of this increased on-demand digital commerce order volume. Not only does our software create the opportunity to drive more orders for our customers, but
we also expect the industry’s secular tailwinds to help increase transaction order volume as more consumersguests order food through digital means, including on- and off-premise. As transaction volume increases, the subscription revenue we receive from certain subscription-based modules may also increase as customers subscribe for higher tier ordering packages to enable more transactions. Additionally, 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. Specifically, in February 2022, we announced the general availability of our payment solution, Olo Pay, which we believe can significantlycontinue to increase our ability to generate transactional revenues.revenue. Our ability to increase transaction volume is dependent on, among other factors, macroeconomic conditions, as well as the continued shift to digital ordering for food consumption and our ability to capture a meaningful portion of that shift.
Add New Large Multi-Location and High-Growth Restaurant Brands
We believe there is a substantial opportunity to grow our customer base across the U.S. restaurant industry, adding to our over 600 existing brands across approximately 77,000 active locations as of June 30, 2023. We define an “active location” as a unique restaurant location that is utilizing one or more modules in a given quarterly period. Given this definition, active locations in any one quarter may not reflect (i) the future impact of new customer wins as it can take some time for their locations to go live with our platform, or (ii) the customers who have indicated their intent to reduce or terminate their use of our platform in future periods. Of further note, not all of our customer locations may choose to utilize our products, and while we aim to deploy all of customer locations, not all locations may ultimately deploy. 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.
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, data analytics, and on-premise dining. 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 our existing modules 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 requirements as a public company. For example, as Olo Pay continues to scale and we realize expanded Olo Pay adoption, we may experience increased processing and personnel-related costs. 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. Our platform seamlessly integrates with technology providers across the restaurant ecosystem, including most POS systems, DSPs, Ordering Service Providers, or OSPs, aggregators, payment processors, loyalty programs, on-premise ordering providers, KDSs,kitchen display systems, labor management providers, inventory management providers, and reservation and CRMcustomer relationship management platforms. 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 expandswould expand our capabilities and facilitatesfacilitate 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-sized businesses to enable their on-demand digital 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.guests. For example, we currently partner with a number of grocery chains who use our Ordering module to help their consumersguests order ready-to-eat meals and may potentially expand these or other partnerships in the future. We anticipate that our operating expenses 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 have initial terms of three years or longer, with continuous one-yearone-to-two-year automatic renewal periods. We generally bill monthly in arrears. A majority of our platform revenue is derived from our Order Management solutions, which consist of our Ordering, Dispatch, Rails, Switchboard, Kiosk, Network, and Virtual Brands, Kiosk, Catering, and Sync modules. We also generate platform revenue from our Delivery Enablement solutions,Olo Pay module, which include our Dispatch and Rails modules,became commercially available during 2022, as well as from Olo Pay. We may also charge third-party aggregatorsour Engage solutions, which consist of our GDP, Marketing, Sentiment, and other service providers in our ecosystem a per-transaction fee for access to our Dispatch and RailsHost modules. Subsequent to the Wisely Acquisition, we also generate revenue from our Guest Engagement and FOH solutions.
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 upon execution of our agreement. While we generally expect professional services and other revenue to increase primarily as a result of continued deployment of additional active locations, we also expect that this increase will be offset as our deployment teams become more efficient and more familiar with customer systems and shorten deployment periods.
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, amortization of capitalized internal-use software and intangible assets,developed technology, payment processing, 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.
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, increased hosting capacity to align with customer growth, 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. Research and development costs exclude capitalized internal-use software development costs, as they are capitalized as a component of property and equipment, net and amortized to platform cost of revenue over the term of their estimated useful life. We anticipate investments in this area to increase slightly on an absolute dollar basis, andbut to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the short-term, as we continue to investbalance growth initiatives and investments in innovative solutions to support our customers’ rapidly evolving needs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and contractor fees for finance, legal, human resources, information technology, amortization of intangible assets, and other administrative functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses include amortization of trademarks, travel-related expenses, and allocated overhead. We also expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to grow on an absolute dollar basis while declining as a percentage of revenue as we lap the initial increase in costs associated with operating as a public company and continue to scale our operations over time.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of sales, marketing, and other personnel costs, commissions, general marketing, amortization of intangible assets,customer relationships, promotional activities, and allocated overhead costs. Sales commissions earned by our sales force 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 percentage of revenue in the short-term as we continue to invest in our ability to sell new products and increase the visibility of our brand to new and existing customers.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges are comprised of severance costs, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of equity awards. These charges were incurred as a result of our completed corporate reorganization in the second quarter of 2023, which entailed a reduction of workforce.
Other Income (Expenses), Net
Other income (expenses), net consists primarily of income earned on our investments and money-market funds in cash and cash equivalents and interest expense related to any outstanding debt.our credit facility.
Change in Fair Value of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
The change in the fair value of warrant liability relates to warrants issued to purchase our redeemable convertible preferred stock that are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Prior to the IPO, warrants to purchase 1,682,847 shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock were exercised and converted into redeemable convertible preferred stock. Upon completion of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock, inclusive of the shares issued pursuant to these warrant exercises, converted into 100,196,780 shares of Class B common stock. As a result, we will no longer have a change in fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability.
(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes
Provision(Benefit) provision for income taxes primarily relates to U.S. state income taxes where we conduct business.

Platform
Total platform revenue increased $10.0$10.1 million, or 29.0%22.6%, to $54.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $44.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222022. This increase was primarily the result of increases in Olo Pay adoption and Engage utilization among our existing customer base and higher Order revenue from $34.5 million increased transaction volumes. Average revenue per unit increased to approximately $716 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in new active locations coming onto the platform, an increase in module adoption within our existing customer base, and increased transaction volumes. Active locations increased to approximately 82,000 as of June 30, 20222023 from approximately 74,000 as of June 30, 2021, and ARPU increased to approximately $544 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $486 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 45.6% and 2021, 51.6% and 47.2% of our platform revenue was subscription revenue, respectively, and 48.4%54.4% and 52.8%48.4% was transaction revenue, respectively.Active locations decreased to approximately 77,000 as of June 30, 2023 from approximately 82,000 as of June 30, 2022 as a result of the previously announced transition of Subway off of the platform. We believe that our ability to grow revenue despite the decrease in active locations is attributable to the fact that average revenue per unit is more indicative of our performance than the number of active locations alone.
Professional Services and Other
Total professional services and other revenue decreased $0.3$0.4 million, or 22.4%39.0%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily2022. This decrease was driven by a combination of macroeconomic factors such as labor shortages, which have delayed certain deployments due to due to labor shortages affecting ourtheir impact on restaurant customers at both the operator and brand levels, elongating the sales cycle and delaying the start of deployments. While we generally expectas well as efficiencies in our deployment process resulting in shorter deployment periods, which in turn drive lower deployment fees. Additionally, our efforts to upsell additional platform solutions to existing customers who have already been deployed on our platform drive platform revenue growth, rather than growth in professional services and other to increase primarily as a result of continued deployment of additional active locations, we also expect this increase to be offset as our deployment teams become more efficient and shorten deployment periods.revenue.

Platform
Total platform revenue increased $20.0 million, or 23.2%, to $106.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $86.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily the result of increases in Olo Pay adoption and Engage utilization among our existing customer base and higher Order revenue from increased transaction volumes. Average revenue per unit increased to approximately $1,296 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $1,072 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 46.6% and 50.9% of our platform revenue was subscription revenue, respectively, and 53.4% and 49.1% was transaction revenue, respectively. Active locations decreased to approximately 77,000 as of June 30, 2023 from approximately 82,000 as of June 30, 2022 as a result of the previously announced transition of Subway off of the platform. We believe that our ability to grow revenue despite the decrease in active locations is attributable to the fact that average revenue per unit is more indicative of our performance than the number of active locations alone.
Professional Services and Other
Total professional services and other revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 35.5%, to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to a combination of macroeconomic factors such as labor shortages, which have delayed certain deployments due to their impact on restaurant customers at both the operator and brand levels, as well as efficiencies in our deployment process resulting in shorter deployment periods, which in turn drive lower deployment fees. Additionally, our efforts to upsell additional platform solutions to existing customers who have already been deployed on our platform drive platform revenue growth, rather than growth in professional services and other revenue.

This increase was primarily the result of an increase in new active locations coming onto the platform, an increase in module adoption within our existing customer base, and increased transaction volumes. Active locations increased to approximately 82,000 as of June 30, 2022 from approximately 74,000 as of June 30, 2021, and ARPU increased to approximately $1,072 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $1,008 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Total professional services and other revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 8.4%, to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to labor shortages affecting our restaurant customers at both the operator and brand levels, elongating the sales cycle and delaying the start of deployments. While we generally expect professional services and other to increase primarily as a result of continued deployment of additional active locations, we also expect this increase to be offset as our deployment teams become more efficient and shorten deployment periods.

Platform
Total platform cost of revenue increased $12.0 million, or 101.7%, to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of higher compensation costs associated with additional personnel to support the revenue growth mentioned previously as well as higher hosting costs due to increased transaction volume and the addition of features and modules. Also contributing to the increase were the near-
term impacts due to our recent Wisely and Omnivore acquisitions, the intangible amortization costs related to these acquisitions, and the processing costs associated with Olo Pay.
Professional Services and Other
Total professional services and other cost of revenue increased $0.8 million, or 31.8%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of increased compensation costs to support the previously-mentioned growth in new active locations.
Gross Profit
Gross margin decreased to 69.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 80.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross profit margin was driven by higher platform and professional services and other compensation costs to support growth in transactions, the increase in new active locations coming onto the platform, and the addition of features and modules, as well as by the near-term impacts due to our recent Wisely and Omnivore acquisitions and the processing costs associated with Olo Pay.

This increase was primarily a result of higher compensation costs due to increased headcount to support the growth and stage of the organization, as well as severance costs related to the departure of our Chief Customer Officer and increased insurance costs and professional fees incurred as a result of us being a public company. These increases were partially offset by the absence in the six months ended June 30, 2022 of the following costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021: (i) IPO related bonus awards, vesting and settlement of stock appreciation rights, or SARs, award as a result of the IPO; and (ii) a $5.1 million non-cash charge related to the donation of 172,918 shares of our Class A common stock to an independent donor-advised fund sponsor, Tides Foundation. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 39.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 44.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
We did not donate any shares during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the Olo for Good Fund at Tides Foundation, but we expect to donate additional shares in the future in conjunction with our Olo for Good initiative.

This increase was primarily the result of additional compensation costs, inclusive of commission costs, due to increases in headcount, as well as costs associated with our in-person user conference, Beyond4, which we held in the second quarter of 2022 for the first time in two years, and intangible amortization costs related to our recent acquisitions. This increase was partially offset by decreased marketing spend associated with our IPO-related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense increased to 19.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 10.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by income earned on our investments and money-market funds.
The increase of $18.9 million in the fair value of warrant liability for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was the result of an increase in value of our redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability, which is directly related to an increase in the value of our stock underlying the warrants during the first quarter of 2021. Prior to our IPO, all outstanding warrants were exercised to purchase shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock and converted into redeemable convertible preferred stock. Upon completion of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock, inclusive of the shares issued pursuant to these warrant exercises, converted into shares of Class B common stock.

The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the release of a portion of our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets following the recording of a deferred income tax liability as part of our accounting for the acquisition of Omnivore and adjustments to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, partially offset by
state taxes. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our net federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of June 30, 2022,2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities totaling $464.7$431.2 million, which was held for working capital purposes and to fund repurchases of our Class A common stock (as described more fully below), as well as the available balance of our revolving line of credit, described further below.
We have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity securities, payments received from customers and borrowings undersales of our credit facility.equity securities.
On March 19, 2021, we completedSeptember 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $100 million of our IPO, in which we issued and sold 20,700,000Class A common stock, or the Stock Buyback Program. Under the Stock Buyback Program, shares of our Class A common stock may be repurchased from time to time on a discretionary basis through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or other means, and will be structured to occur in compliance with applicable securities laws. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are determined by a committee established by the Board of Directors, depending on a variety of factors, including the Class A common stock price, trading volume, market conditions, our cash flow and liquidity profile, the capital needs of the business, and other considerations. We expect to fund repurchases with existing cash on hand. The Stock Buyback Program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the public offering priceBoard of $25.00 per share. We received net proceedsDirectors at its discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased shares of our Class A common stock for approximately $485.5$30.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.under the Stock Buyback Program.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, 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.months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our obligation to repay any balance under our credit facility if we were to borrow against the facility in the future, our platform revenue growth rate, receivable and payable cycles, and the timing and extent of investments in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.
Credit Facility
On As of June 10, 2022,30, 2023, we entered intohad $43.6 million of commitments available under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Western Bank related to a revolving credit and term loan facility, or the Second Amended and Restated LSA.
The Second Amended and Restated LSA amended and restated the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 11, 2020, as amended, or the Prior LSA, to, among other things, increase our available aggregate borrowing limit to $70.0 million and to provide the ability to request Pacific Western Bank to enter into commitments to increase the credit extensions available to us under the Second Amended and Restated LSA to up to $125.0 million, or the Accordion Facility.
Borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated LSA accrue interest at a variable annual rate equal to (i) in the case of Formula Advances (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated LSA), the greater of the variable rate of interest, per annum, most recently announced by Pacific Western Bank, or the Prime Rate. or 3.25% or (ii) in the case of Term Loans (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated LSA), the greater of the Prime Rate plus 0.25% or 3.50%. The Second Amended and Restated LSA provides for a success fee payable upon an acquisition of Olo or termination of the Second Amended and Restated LSA, or a Success Fee Trigger, in an amount equal to: (i) $800,000, if the Success Fee Trigger occurs prior to June 10, 2023; (ii) $600,000, if the Success Fee Trigger occurs on or after June 10, 2023 and prior to June 10, 2024; (iii) $400,000, if the Success Fee Trigger occurs on or after June 10, 2024 and prior to June 10, 2025; (iv) $200,000, if the Success Fee Trigger occurs on or after June 10, 2025 and prior to June 10, 2026; and (v) $0, if the Success Fee Trigger occurs on or after June 10, 2026. We also required to pay a fee of 1.0% of the difference between (i) the highest outstanding principal balance during the term of the Second Amended and Restated LSA and (ii) $3.5 million if a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated LSA) occurs during the term and or within 24 months after the termination of the Second Amended and Restated LSA. Our obligations under the Second Amended and Restated LSA are secured by substantially all of our assets, including certain securities owned by us in any subsidiary.
The Second Amended and Restated LSA includes a financial covenant requiring compliance with certain minimum revenue amounts. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated LSA contains representations and warranties generally consistent with the Prior LSA, as well as certain non-financial covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends, or make certain investments. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022.
The Second Amended and Restated LSA 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. Any default that is not cured or waived could result in Pacific Western Bank exercising its rights and remedies under the Second Amended and Restated LSA, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the obligations under the Second Amended and Restated LSA and related documentation, and would permit Pacific Western Bank to exercise remedies with respect to all of the collateral that secured such obligations.
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. Upon our request, Pacific Western Bank will provide us a payoff letter providing for, among other things, repayment of our obligations then outstanding, including the success fee, and for termination of Pacific Western Bank’s obligations to make additional credit extensions and termination of the liens under the Second Amended and Restated LSA.

Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.3 million, primarily due to net loss of $30.8 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $34.3 million and a net increase attributable to our operating assets and liabilities of $5.8 million. The non-cash adjustments primarily relate to stock-based compensation charges of $28.8 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.5 million. The net increase attributable to our operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $12.1 million related primarily to higher fees owed to delivery service providers and vendors, additional accrued compensation in connection with the Restructuring
Plan, and professional and consulting fees, as well as an increase in accounts payable of $5.5 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $9.1 million and an increase in deferred contract costs of $2.0 million primarily due to growth of our revenue.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. To supplement our financial statements, we provide investors with non-GAAP operating income (loss) and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and certain key performance indicators, including GMV, GPV, net revenue retention, average revenue per unit, and active locations.
locations, NRR, and ARPU.
We useManagement uses these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators, in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. These measures provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance as measured by such non-GAAP figures, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of core operating results, and assist shareholders in better evaluating us by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain charges or benefits that may not be consistent or comparable across periods.periods or compared to other registrants’ similarly named non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators.
We adjust our GAAP financial measures for the following items to calculate non-GAAP operating income (loss):and non-GAAP operating margin: stock-based compensation expense (non-cash expense calculated by companies using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions) and related payroll tax expense, equity expense related to charitable contributions (non-cash expense)certain litigation-related expenses (which consist of legal and other professional fees associated with litigation-related matters which are not indicative of Olo’s core operations and are not part of our normal course of business), intangible andloss on disposal of assets, non-cash capitalized internal-use software impairment, capitalized internal-use software and intangible amortization (non-cash expense), other non-cashrestructuring charges, certain severance related to the departure of our Chief Customer Officer,costs, and transaction costs (typically incurred within one year of the related acquisition.acquisition). Management believes that it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges and non-core operational charges from our non-GAAP operating income (loss)financial measures because: (1) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations;operations and we believe does not relate to ongoing operational performance; and (2) such expenses can vary significantly between periods. Effective as of the first quarter fiscal 2022, payroll tax expenses related to equity compensation awards were added to our calculation of non-GAAP operating income. We have historically excluded stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP operating income, and management believes that excluding the related payroll tax expense is important and consistent, as such payroll tax expenses are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform with the current year presentation.
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software. Free cash flow is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our liquidity and to generate future operating plans. Free cash flow excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our liquidity. The reduction of capital expendituresliquidity and facilitates comparisons of our liquidity on a period-to-period basis. We believeManagement believes providing free cash flow 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 from the perspective of our management and Board of Directors.
Our use of non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators has limitations as an analytical tool, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of financial results as reported under GAAP. Because our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of our
condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. 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.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, as compared to those disclosed under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.24, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all recently issued standards impacting our condensed consolidated financial statements.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We currently qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of 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), or Section 404, of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or 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.37
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. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards based on public company effective dates.
However, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter of 2022, the market value of our Class A common stock that was held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million, and as a result, we will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of the end of the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and we will be subject to certain requirements that apply to other public companies but did not previously apply to us due to our status as an emerging growth company, including the provisions of Section 404, which require that our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we will no longer be able to take advantage of the extended transition period as of the end of the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and we will be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Item 3. 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 our investments and the Second Amended and Restated LSALoan 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 June 30, 2022,2023, advances under the formula revolving line of the Second Amended and Restated LSALoan and Security Agreement bear interest equal to the greater of (A) the Prime Rate then in effect; or (B) 3.25%. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, advances under the term
loans bear interest equal to the greater of (A) 0.25% above the Prime Rate then in effect; or (B) 3.50%. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had no outstanding debt under our credit facility.
Our interest-earning instruments also carry a degree of interest rate risk. Our cash and cash equivalents have a relatively short maturity, and are therefore relatively insensitive to interest rate changes. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $386.7$318.0 million. We invest in money market funds, U.S. and municipal government agency securities, corporate bonds and notes, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. Our current investment policy seeks first to preserve principal, second to provide liquidity for our operating and capital needs, and third to maximize yield without putting our principal at risk. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we invested $140.3$181.1 million in money market funds and $78.0$113.2 million in other securities, of which $73.5$83.7 million was classified as short-term. Because the majority of our investment portfolio is short-term in nature, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio, and therefore we do not expect our results of operations or cash flows to be materially affected by a sudden change in market interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risks
Our revenue and costs are generally 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. A hypothetical 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies in which our revenues and expenses are denominated would not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Inflation Risk
In recent months, inflationInflation has continued to increase significantlyremained at historically high levels in the U.S. and overseas, resulting in rising transportation, wages, and other costs. The primary inflation factors affecting our business are increased cost of labor and overhead costs. However, 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2022.2023.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 20222023 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In lightbelow under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of this fact, ourthe Exchange Act. Our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstandingconducted an evaluation of the material weakness ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on the condensed consolidatedcriteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial statements forreporting was not effective at December 31, 2022, due to the periods covered by and includedmaterial weakness in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, ourinternal control over financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Previously Reported Material Weaknessreporting.
We previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of properly designedsufficient qualified personnel who possessed an appropriate level of technical expertise and we did not design and maintain effective controls aroundover complex technical accounting matters within our financial statement close process. We have concluded that thismatters. This material weakness arose because,was previously reported in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 in connection with the initial public offering and reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and was updated, as a previously private company, we did not have the necessary, business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirementsas of a public company.
Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.December 31, 2022. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial
statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficienciesThis material weakness could result in additional misstatements to our condensedconsolidated financial statements that would be material and would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
On March 4, 2022, we completed our acquisition of Omnivore (see “Note 5—Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). As the acquisition occurred during 2022, management excluded the acquisition from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the acquisition constituted 0.1% of our total assets (excluding goodwill and intangibles) and 2.8% of our total revenue.
Remediation Plans
WeStarting in 2021 and continuing through 2023, we have been implementing and will continueactively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts to implement measures to remediateaddress the identified material weakness. Specifically, we have:Specific remedial actions undertaken by management included, without limitation:
•initiated the process of implementing a new revenue recognition system which will significantly reduce the number of manual controls currently required to recognize revenue;
•engagedEngaged external resources to assist with remediation efforts and internal control execution, as well as to provide additional training to existing personnel; andpersonnel.
•hiredHired additional internal resources with appropriate knowledge and technical expertise to effectively operate financial close and reporting processes and internal controls.controls over complex technical accounting matters.
We intend
•Enhanced the design of our existing controls over complex technical accounting matters
The above controls need to continue to take steps to remediate the material weakness described above and further evolve our accounting processes and internal resources. We will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectivelyoperate for a sufficient period of time.
While we believetime so that these efforts will improvemanagement can conclude that our internal control over financial reporting,controls are operating effectively. As such, the implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles.
We believe we are making progress toward achieving the effectiveness of our internal controls and disclosure controls. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review as well as audit committee oversight. Wematerial weakness will not be able to conclude whether the steps weconsidered remediated until management has concluded through additional testing that these controls are taking will fully remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional remediation time.effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as described above. Except as otherwise described herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 (d) and 15d-15 (d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringementA description of their intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves or our customers by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. Defending suchlegal proceedings is costlyincluded in and can impose a significant burden on managementincorporated by reference to “Note 10—Commitments and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardlessContingencies” of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impactnotes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titledour consolidated financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes,Operations,” as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 25, 202224, 2023 and our other filings with the SEC, before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022,24, 2023, may not be the only ones we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
The following description includes risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors” and new risk factors and material changes to risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and2022, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022,24, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors.”
Operational Risks
The COVID-19 pandemic or recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, including variants of COVID-19, and/or the impact of vaccinations, increased demand for in-person dining, and the impact of changes in response of governments and private industry to COVID-19 could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic, the measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including indoor dining restrictions, business closures, stay-at-home, and similar orders limiting the movement of individuals, and the resulting changes in consumer behaviors, disrupted the restaurant industry and impacted our normal operations, employees, partners, and customers. While nearly all regions have re-opened as a result of increased vaccination rates and our employees have transitioned to remote working arrangements, we face risks related to resurgences of COVID-19, including the emergence of new variant strains of COVID-19, which have and may in the future necessitate renewed government restrictions.
We have had to expend, and expect to continue to expend, significant time, attention, and resources to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated global economic uncertainty, including developing and implementing internal policies and procedures and tracking changes in laws and government guidelines and restrictions. The remote working environment may also create increased vulnerability to cybersecurity incidents or decrease the cohesiveness of our teams and our ability to maintain our culture. Additionally, a remote working environment could negatively impact our marketing efforts, our ability to enter into customer and business development contracts in a timely manner, our international expansion efforts, and our ability to recruit and retain employees across the organization.
With the onset of COVID-19, we began to see an increase in transaction volumes as consumers turned to online ordering as compared to in-person dining. This shift began at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and continued through the end of 2021. While we benefited from the acceleration of demand for off-premise dining, our profitability may be adversely impacted if orders placed for pickup grow faster or garner a greater share of off-premise orders than those placed for delivery. Furthermore, we do not expect the trends we experienced in 2020 and 2021 on number of active locations and transaction volume to continue (at least not to the extent experienced in 2020) and we expect our revenue will fluctuate in the near term.
The degree to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recovery will affect our business and results of operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot currently be predicted. These developments include but are not limited to the duration, extent, and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of new variant strains of COVID-19, actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, including any restrictions on economic activity and domestic and international trade, the timing of any future booster shot rollouts, the acceptance of the vaccine and booster shots, and the extent of the impact of these and other factors on our employees, partners, vendors, guests, and restaurant customers. The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions could limit our restaurant customers’ ability to continue to operate, serve guests, or make timely payments to us. It could disrupt or delay the ability of employees to work because they become sick or are required to care for those who become sick, or for dependents for whom external care is not available. It could cause delays or disruptions in services provided by key suppliers and vendors, increase vulnerability of us and our partners and service providers to security breaches, denial of service attacks, or other hacking or phishing attacks, or cause other unpredictable effects.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to other factors, also has caused heightened uncertainty in the global economy. If economic conditions further deteriorate, guests may not have the financial means to make purchases from our restaurant customers and may delay or reduce discretionary purchases, negatively impacting our restaurant customers and our results of operations. Uncertainty may cause prospective or existing restaurant customers to defer purchasing decisions in anticipation of new modules or enhancements by us or our competitors. Our small and medium business, or SMB, brands may be more susceptible to general economic conditions than our enterprise brands, which may have greater liquidity and access to capital. Uncertain and adverse economic conditions also may lead to increased refunds and chargebacks, reduced demand for our platform, lengthening of sales cycles, loss of customers, and difficulty in collections.
Our 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 subscription revenue from our Ordering, Switchboard, Kiosk, Virtual Brands, Marketing Automation, Sentiment, Guest Data Platform, or GDP, and Host modules and transaction revenue from our Rails, Dispatch, Virtual Brands, and Olo Pay modules. We also derive transactional revenue from other products, including Network, which allows brands to take orders from non-marketplace digital channels (e.g., Google Food Ordering, which enables restaurants to fulfill orders directly through Google search results and Maps pages)Factors”. 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 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 continue to increase the volume of transactions on our platform. 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.
As the circumstances that have accelerated the growth of our business stemming from the effects of stay at home orders and increased online ordering during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have eased, and along with general economic uncertainty, among other factors, our revenue may fluctuate in the near term. You should not rely on our revenue or other operating and liquidity metrics for any previous quarterly or annual period as an indication of our revenue or revenue growth or other operating and liquidity metrics or their growth in future periods.
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 modules due to the easing of efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and any reductions in consumer spending on dining due to the general economic climate;
•actions taken to contain the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic due to new variants or resurgences, including governmental and other restrictions that could impact our customers;
•the labor shortage facing the restaurant industry, which may limit the ability of new or existing customers to adopt our modules;
•the absence of ongoing U.S. federal government stimulus directed at consumers;
•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;
•a decline in the number of customer locations utilizing our services;
•the ability of our customers to switch to a competitor or develop their own internal platform solutions;
•changes in the size and complexity of our customer relationships;
•changes in our relationships with third parties, including our delivery service provider, or DSP, ordering aggregator, customer loyalty, and payment processor partners;
•failure to maintain compatibility with third party systems or failure to integrate with new systems;
•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 as the number of customers using our platform increases and we achieve higher market penetration rates. Furthermore, as 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 Class A 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.
Commercial Risks
We currently generate significant revenue from our largest restaurant 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 year ended December 31, 2021, our 10 largest restaurant customers generated an aggregate of approximately 19% of our revenue. Although these customers enter into contracts with us, our large customers have in the past and may in the future reduce or terminate their usage of our platform, reduce the number of locations using our platform, or decide not to renew their agreements with us. Our customers have in the past and may in the future choose to develop their own solutions that do not utilize any or all of modules. They also may demand price reductions as their usage of our modules increases, due to competitive pressures, changes in economic conditions, or otherwise, 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 have lost in the past, and we may lose in the future, one or more of our largest restaurant customers. While no such losses have been material to date, in the event that any of our largest restaurant 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 sales cycles can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable investment of time and expense. If our sales cycle lengthens,continues to lengthen, we invest substantial resources pursuing unsuccessful sales opportunities, or our customers do not timely onboard and deploy our modules, our operating results and growth would be harmed.
We have historically incurred significant costs and experienced long sales cycles when selling to customers. 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, before committing to deployingdeploy our modules at scale, restaurant brand customers often require extensive education about our modules and significant support time with our employees or pilot programs, engage in protracted pricing negotiations, and seek to secure development resources.
Additionally, 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. Our standard contracts state that we will be the exclusive provider of digital ordering services to the restaurant brand, and the restaurant brand must use best efforts to ensure their operators also use Olo exclusively. We strive for exclusivity across all locations, but because operators are not required to use Olo, we have in the past had and may in the future have some locations of a restaurant brand choose not to use our platform. Further, even after our customersrestaurant brands contract to use our platform, theyindividual locations may require extensive integration or deployment resources from us before they become active customers,locations, which have at times extended to multiple quarterly periods following the execution of an agreement with us.
Because we generally only generate transaction 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. OurFor example, our sales cycle has extended in 2022 and 2023 to be longer than we had experienced historically, and may continue to be extended, due to our restaurant brand customers’ budgetary constraints and shifting priorities in response to labor and staffing challenges at both the operator and brand level. If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending significant funds and management resources, or we experience delays in the deployment of our platform to customers or incur greater than anticipated costs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations couldhave in the past and may in the future be adversely affected.
Financial RisksOur 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.
As a result of being a public company, we are obligatedOur ability to developgrow and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, and any failuregenerate 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 modules, and to increase or maintain transaction volume on our platform. Although our customers generally have multi-year contracts with us, they generally have the adequacyright to elect not to renew by providing at least 90 days’ written notice prior to the expiration date of these internal controlsthe 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 adversely affect investor confidencedecline and our results of operations may be harmed. Customers in the past have not renewed, and in the future may not renew, their contracts with us or reduce their use of our company and, as a result,platform for any number of reasons, including if they are not satisfied with our platform or modules, the value proposition of our Class A common stock.platform or our ability to meet their needs and expectations, security or platform reliability issues, or if they decide to directly integrate with one or more of our partners, build their own solution internally or if they decide to temporarily or permanently close their restaurants in a location. For example, Subway and other customers have not renewed their contracts with us or reduced their use of our platform.
Additionally, guests may change their purchasing habits or reduce their orders from our current customers, which could harm their business and reduce their use of our platform. We arecannot 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 public company requirednegative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and may cause our expansion rate to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404decline.

Due to our change in status, our independent registered public accounting firm willmay be required to attestspend significantly more on sales and marketing than we currently plan to the effectivenessspend in order to maintain or increase revenue from our customers. Such additional sales and marketing expenditures could adversely affect our business, results of our internal control overoperations, and financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022.

We continue to compile 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,compete successfully against current 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 continue to develop our internal audit function, and we have hired, and may 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.future competitors.
During the evaluation and testing processWe face competition in various aspects of our internal controls, ifbusiness and we identify oneexpect 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 may compete against providers in each of these categories including white-label digital ordering solution providers, restaurant-focused POS platforms, aggregators 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 material weaknessesquickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, regulations or customer requirements. Some ordering aggregators 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 aggregator products. If competitors, many of which are much better capitalized than we are, are successful in providing our internal control over financial reporting,customers with a more attractive solution or pricing, our business and results of operation may be harmed. In addition, as we expand into new markets, such as the emerging enterprise segment, we will be unablecontinue to certify that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficienciesencounter varying competitive dynamics in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. As we have identified 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 Class A common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In addition, in connection with the results of such evaluation, we may need to upgrade our systems, including information technology; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures; and hire additional staff. 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.
WeCompetition may requireintensify as current or future competitors enter into business combinations or alliances or raise additional capital, whichor 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 financingor competing platforms or features into solutions they control, such as additional payment, rewards, or delivery platforms or features. In addition, certain customers may resultchoose to partner with our competitors in restrictionsa specific geographic market, or choose to engage exclusively with our competitors. Further, our current ecosystem partners could add features to their solutions, including POS functionality, limit or terminate the availability of their products on our operationsplatform, or substantial dilutiondirectly compete with our solutions by expanding their product offerings.

WeFinancial Risks
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have financed ourin the past led and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. On March 10, March 12, and May 1, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, took control and was appointed receiver of Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank, respectively, after each bank was unable to continue its operations, since inception primarily through sales of our equity securities, including our completed IPO, payments received from customers, and borrowings under our credit facility.which led to market instability. We cannot predict the impact that the high market volatility and instability of the banking sector more broadly could have on economic activity and our business in particular. The failure of other banks and financial institutions and measures taken, or not taken, by governments, businesses, and other organizations in response to these events could adversely impact our and our customers’ business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If the financial institutions with which we do business enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, there is no guarantee that the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC will intercede to provide us and other depositors with access to balances in excess of the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit, that we would be certain whenable to (i) access our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments, (ii) maintain any required letters of credit or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fullyother credit support arrangements, or (iii) adequately fund our ongoingbusiness for a prolonged period of time or at all, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our current or projected business operations and results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if any parties with which we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or the growth of our business. We intendlending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to continue to make investmentsfund their business and perform their obligations to supportus could be adversely affected, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on 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. In particular, we are currently operating in a periodfinancial condition, and results of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been impacted by geopolitical instability, an ongoing war in Ukraine, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and record inflation. It is impossible to predict the extent to which our business will be impacted in the short and long term, but such uncertainty and disruption may reduce our ability to access capital and negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Additionally, rising interest rates may reduce our access to debt capital, which may adversely affect our future business plans and expected growth, and will increase the cost of any future borrowings and our variable rate borrowings, which would reduce our earnings. 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 our equity to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our Class A 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 Class A common stock. Volatility in equity capital markets may also adversely affect market prices of our securities, which may materially and adversely affect our ability to fund our business through public or private sales of equity securities, and the retentive power of our equity compensation plans, which we rely upon in part to retain key executives and employees. 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 Class A common stock and diluting their interests.
Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, and Reputational Risks
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 liabilities, or adversely affect our business.
In the United States, there are numerous federal and state consumer, privacy and data security laws and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information, including security breach notification laws and consumer protection laws. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues in the United States is rapidly evolving. Violating consumers’ privacy rights, making deceptive use of prospective or current customers’ personal information, or failing to take appropriate steps to keep personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, Act, 15 U.S.C § 45(a). The FTC has broad powers to investigate, which may result in binding consent orders and fines, as do states’ attorneys general under comparable state unfair and deceptive act laws.
Additionally, 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 data privacy rights for consumers and 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.
We anticipate that more states may enact legislation similar to the CCPA, providing consumers around the United States with new privacy rights and increasing the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain personal information of such consumers. The CCPA has already prompted a number of proposals for new federal and state-level privacy legislation. Such proposed legislation, if enacted, may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, or impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data, and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies. Additionally, these costs 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, a new California ballot initiative, the California Privacy Rights Act, or the CPRA, was passed in November 2020. Effective starting on January 1, 2023, the CPRA imposes additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation and will significantly modify the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The CPRA also creates a new state agency that will be vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA. Several other states recently passed new privacy laws similar to the CCPA and the CPRA. For example, on March 2, 2021, Virginia enacted the Consumer Data Protection Act, or the CDPA, and, on July 8, 2021, Colorado’s governor signed the Colorado Privacy Act, or CPA, into law. The CDPA and the CPA will both become effective January 1, 2023. On March 24, 2022, Utah’s governor signed into law the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, effective December 31, 2023. Additionally, on May 10, 2022, Connecticut enacted An Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring, which will go into effect on July 1, 2023. The effects of these new state laws are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement and litigation.
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 previously relied upon the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program to legitimize certain transfers of personal data from the EU and European Economic Area, or EEA, to the United States pursuant to the GDPR. However, on July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union, or the CJEU, invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result of this decision, companies that previously relied upon Privacy Shield will be required to use another GDPR-approved method to legitimize transfers of personal data to the United States and other third countries in compliance with the GDPR. Although in its ruling about the Privacy Shield, the CJEU deemed that the Standard Contractual Clauses, or SCCs, approved by the European Commission for transfers of personal data between EU controllers and non-EU processors, such as us, are valid, the CJEU also noted that transfers made pursuant to the SCCs need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis to ensure EU standards of data protection are met in the jurisdiction where the data importer is based. On June 4, 2021, the European Commission published new versions of the SCCs, which have been required of all new transfers of personal data from the EEA to third countries (including the United States) since September 2021, and must be used for all existing transfers of personal data from the EU to third countries relying on the prior versions of the SCCs by December 2022. The new versions of the SCCs seek to address the issues identified by the CJEU’s decision and provide further details regarding the transfer assessments that the parties are required to conduct when implementing the new SCCs. However, there continue to be concerns about whether the SCCs and other mechanisms will face additional challenges. Until the remaining legal uncertainties regarding how to legally continue these transfers are settled, and despite not being currently subject to the GDPR, we will continue to face uncertainty as to whether efforts to comply with European transfer restrictions will be sufficient. This and other future developments regarding the flow of data across borders could increase the cost and complexity of delivering our products and services in some markets and may lead to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.
We publish privacy policies, self-certifications, such as the EU-U.S. 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 us. 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 and through the Olo Pay module 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.
TheWe began commercially offering Olo Pay in the first quarter of 2022 and card-present transactions in the third quarter of 2023. In connection with this offering, 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. Wethem, including in ways that may limit our ability to offer Olo Pay card-present payment services. Through our offering of Olo Pay, we are also required by our payment processors to comply with payment card network operating rules and, in certain instances, we have agreed to reimburse our payment processorsprocessor partners 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 they could fine us, cancel or suspend our registration as a payment service provider or prohibit us from processing payment cards on their networks, which could 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 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.
We released a beta version of our Payment solution, Olo Pay, to select restaurant brands in October 2020. We began commercially offering Olo Pay in the first quarter of 2022. We also released a new feature, Borderless, to a limited number of customers in July 2022, to allow guests to securely speed through an accelerated checkout process across brands within the Olo Pay network.
If we fail to comply with the rules and regulations adopted by the payment card networks, we wouldcould also be in breach of our contractual obligations to our payment processors, financial institutions, customers, 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.partners. 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 currently substantially rely on a limited number of third-party payment processors to facilitate payments made by guests and payments made to customers through the Olo Pay module. While we are seeking to develop payment processing relationships with other payment processors, we expect to continue to rely on a limited number of payment processors for the foreseeable future. In the event that any of our third-party payment processors fail to maintain adequate levels of support, experience interrupted operations, do not provide high quality service, increase the fees they charge us, discontinue their lines of business, terminate their contractual arrangements with us, or cease or reduce operations, we may suffer additional costs and be required to pursue new third-party relationships, which could materially disrupt our operations and our ability to provide our products and services, and could divert management’s time and resources. In addition, such incidents could result in periods of time during which our platform cannot function properly, and therefore cannot collect payments from customers and their guests, which could adversely affect our relationships with our customers and our business, reputation, brand, financial condition, and results of operations.
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 and adverse publicity and may be required to cease doing business with residents of those states until we obtain the requisite license or registration.
Our DSP and other partnersWe may be subject to pricing, licensing, and data regulations, which may impact our business.
Our DSP and other partners’ revenue is dependent on the pricing models they use to calculate earnings. In particular, the DSPs’ pricing models have been, and will likely continue to be, challenged, banned, limitedartificial intelligence in emergencies, and capped in certain jurisdictions. An increasing number of municipalities have proposed delivery network fee caps with respect to DSPs’ delivery offerings. For example, in 2022, New York City began requiring DSPs to obtain a license in order to do business within the city; instituted a percentage cap on service, transaction, and other fees that DSPs may charge food service establishments; and began allowing food delivery workers to unilaterally cap the distances they are required to travel for delivery. Additional regulation of the DSPs, including with regard to licensing, sharing of end user data, and pricing, could increase their operating costs and adversely affect their business, which may in turn adversely affect our business. Furthermore, our partners may be forced to change their pricing models, or otherwise limit or abandon their business operations altogether, in jurisdictions where laws or regulations significantly impact their business, which could ultimately harm our revenue.
Employee Related Risks
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 on-demand digital commerce applications, products managers and designers, and experienced enterprise sales professionals.
Further, our ability to increase our customer base, especially among restaurant brands, SMBs, 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 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 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 appropriate qualifications. In many markets, competition for qualified individuals is intense and we may be unable to identify and attract a sufficient number of individuals to meet our growing needs, especially in markets where our brand is less established. As a result, because we aim to hire top talent, we may be required to pay higher wages or provide increased levels of benefits. Our commitment to taking care of our team may cause us to incur higher labor costs compared to other technology companies. We also place a heavy emphasis on the qualification and training of our team members, and spend a significant amount of time and money training our team members. Any inability to recruit and retain qualified individuals may result in higher turnover and increased labor costs, and could compromise the quality of our service, all of which could adversely affect our business. 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 additional costs and 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. Capital markets have been volatile, which may cause the perceived value of our equity awards to decline and cause prospective employees to believe there is limited upside to the value of our equity awards, which would 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 prospectschallenges with properly managing its use could be harmed.
Industry Risks
Unfavorable conditionsresult in our industry or the global economy, or reductions in digital ordering transaction volume or technology spending, couldreputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely impact the health of our customers and 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. In recent months, weWe have observed increased economic uncertainty in the United Statespast and abroad. 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, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, lower consumer confidence or spending, volatile equity capital markets, the impact of a housing crisis and other conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, high unemployment, gasoline prices, energy and other utility costs, inclement weather, health care costs, access to credit, disposable consumer income, availability of continued federal economic stimulus and other governmental efforts, financial and credit market fluctuations, international trade relations, political turmoil, natural catastrophes, epidemics, warfare, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, and terrorist attacks on the United States, Canada, or elsewhere, have caused, andmay in the future incorporate machine learning and artificial intelligence, or AI, solutions into our platform, offerings, services and features, and these applications have become and may cause, a reductioncontinue to become increasingly important in customer locations and digital ordering transaction volumes, a decrease in business investments, including spending on technology,our operations over time. For example, OrderReady AI is our machine-learning-based solution that is built to enable brands to provide more accurate quote times. Our competitors or business interruptions resulting from a destruction of our headquarters, and negatively affect the growth of our business, revenue, and earnings.
More specifically, we are heavily reliant on the restaurant, food, and delivery industries, and any downturnother third parties may incorporate AI into their products more quickly or shift in those industries could significantly impact our results. In poor or uncertain economic conditions, restaurant guest traffic could be adversely impacted if guests choose to dine out or order less frequently or reduce the amount they spend on meals. In addition, inflation and the rising costs of food and labor have caused some businesses in the restaurant food and delivery industries to raise their pricesmore successfully than us, which could cause a decline in guest traffic. Further,impair our ability to the extent there is a sustained general economic downturn and our solutions are perceived by restaurant customers and potential restaurant customers as costly, or too difficult to deploy or migrate to, our revenue may be disproportionately affected by delays or reductions in on-demand digital commerce spending. Competitors may respond to market conditions by lowering prices and attempting to lure away our customers. Additionally, 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 the restaurant industry generally, and could continue to do so in the future, and those reports could harm our business and results of operations. 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, we contract directly with our DSPs to provide delivery services to our restaurant customers through our Dispatch module and then invoice our restaurant customers for the cost associated with DSP services. As a result, we may be required to make payments to DSPs prior to receiving payment from our restaurant customers for DSP transactions, which could reduce the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have available for the period between payment to the DSPs and receipt of payment from the restaurant customer. In addition, if any of our restaurant customers were to go out of business, become insolvent, or otherwise be unable to pay for DSP transactions, we would be responsible for making payments to the DSPs that our customers otherwise would have made, which could adversely affect our business. Additionally, our DSPs and other vendors, suppliers, or partners may raise prices that we may not be able to pass on to our restaurant customers. This may materiallycompete effectively and adversely affect our business, including our competitive position, market share, revenues, and earnings.
Lastly,results of operations. Additionally, if the increased pace of consolidationcontent, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications assist in the restaurant industry, the loss of partners that may have gone out of businessproducing are or may have merged with other of our partners,are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or if any of our customers are acquired by another company that does not use our solutions, may result in reduced overall spending on our platform. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability, or recovery, generally or within the restaurant industry. If the economic conditions of the general economy or markets in which we operate worsen,biased, our business, results of operations, and financial condition, could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock
If our operating and financial performance in any given period does not meet the guidance that we provide to the public or the expectations of investment analysts, the market price of our Class A common stock may decline.
We may, but are not obligated to, continue to provide public guidance on our expected operating and financial results for future periods. Any such guidance will comprise forward-looking statements, subject to the risks, assumptions, and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other public filings and public statements. Our ability to provide this public guidance, and our ability to accurately forecast our results of operations may be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemicadversely affected. The use of AI applications has resulted in, and changes in the macroeconomic environment. Our actual results may not always be in line with or exceed any guidance we have provided, and may differ materially from such projections, especially in times of economic uncertainty, such as the current global economic uncertainty being experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, rising interest rates and inflation, and other factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified in these Risk Factors, some or all of which are not predictable or in our control. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could adversely impact our performance, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any projections, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In addition, various news sources, bloggers, and other publishers often make statements regarding our historical or projected business or financial performance, and you should not rely on any such information even if it is attributed directly or indirectly to us. If our operating or financial results for a particular period do not meet any guidance we provide or the expectations of investment analysts, or if we continue to reduce our guidance for future periods, the market price of our Class A common stock may decline. While we currently issue public guidance, there can be no assurance that we will continue to do so in the future.
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.

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 results of operations or key performance indicators fall below the expectations of investors and securities analysts who follow our stock, the price of our Class A common stock could decline substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.
Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our Class A common stock may decline.
The market price of our Class A 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:
•price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time, including fluctuations due to general economic uncertainty or negative market sentiment, in particular related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, and interest rates;
•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 and adoption rates of our modules;
•changes in our projected operating and financial results;
•changes in laws or regulations applicable to our platform and modules;
•investor sentiment and the public’s reaction to announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions, or new offerings;
•the trading volume of our Class A common stock;
•future sales of our Class A common stock by us or our stockholders;
•our involvement in litigation;
•significant data breaches, disruptions to or other incidents involving our software;
•changes in senior management or key personnel;
•changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our markets; and
•general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets.
Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory, and market conditions, may also negatively impact the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular,AI, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past following periods of volatilityand will in the overall marketfuture require significant resources to develop, test and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Securities litigation, if instituted againstmaintain our platform, offerings, services, and features to help us could resultimplement AI ethically in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business. This risk could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The occurrence of one or more of the foregoing and other factors may cause our results of operationsorder to vary significantly. In addition, a significant percentage of our operating expenses is fixed in nature and is based on forecasted revenue and trends. Accordingly, in the event of a revenue shortfall, we may not be able to mitigate the negative impact on our income (loss) and margins in the short term. If we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of investors or securities analysts, then the trading price of our Class A common stock could fall substantially.
We are currently an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors. As of December 31, 2022, we will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” and as a result will incur additional costs.
We are currently an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, but will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2022. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We have taken advantage of those exemptions in previous reports and filings, as well as in this in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the auditor attestation requirements of 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 Class A common stock less attractive to investors. We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A common stock less attractive based on our decision to rely on these exemptions during the period that we are an emerging growth company.
As of December 31, 2022, we will cease to be an emerging growth company and we will be subject to certain disclosure and compliance requirements that apply to other public companies that did not previously apply to us due to our status as an emerging growth company.
We expect that the loss of emerging growth company status and compliance with the additional requirements of being a large accelerated filer will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and cause management and other personnel to divert their attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to public company reporting requirements. In addition, if we are not able to comply with changing requirements in a timely manner, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
We incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase as we prepare for, and following, December 31, 2022, when we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE, 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 increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
