2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make information not misleading. References to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) included hereafter refer to the ASC and ASUs established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) as the source of authoritative GAAP.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023 (the “2021“2022 Form 10-K”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.
Segments
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officerchief executive officer is the CODM of the Company.
Our operations revolve around two primary areas of service: (i) deliveryonline ordering services, which include operations related to the Company’s technology platform for online ordering and delivery (“DeliveryOnline Ordering Services”),; and (ii) third-party payment processing referral services, which include operations related to facilitating access to third parties that provide payment processing solutions for restaurants and other merchants (“Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services”). Prior to the three months ended September 30, 2022,third quarter of 2023, the Company concluded that we had one operating segmentOnline Ordering Services Segment was referred to as the operations of Third-Party Payment Processing ReferralDelivery Services were not material toSegment. In connection with the Company’s consolidated operations. The CODM monitored performance of the Company on a consolidated basis during such time,arrangement with financial data related to Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services being reviewed primarily for purposes of monitoring the achievement of an earnout provision associated with the acquisition of the Cape Payment CompaniesUber Technologies (see Note 5 - Business Combinations1 – Organization).
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, as the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services area became more significant to the operations of the Company, primarily on a percentage of revenue basis, our CODM began to manage operations and assess the Company’s performance based, all delivery services for items ordered on the operations of the Delivery ServicesPlatform are now outsourced to and Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services areas separately. We quantitatively and qualitatively reassessed our segment reporting and determined the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Servicesprovided by Uber Direct.

have two operating segments. See Note 15 – Segment Informationfor additional information on the Company’s segments and Note 4 - Revenue for additional information on revenue derived by segments.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items:
incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels;
loss exposure related to claims;
determination of agent vs. principal classification for revenue recognition purposes;
income taxes;
useful lives of tangible and intangible assets;
equity compensation;contingencies; and
contingencies;
fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, including the recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets; and
fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration as part of a business combination.assets.
The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below for a description of accounting principle changes adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.2023. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in the 20212022 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt, resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

TABLE_CONTENTS
ASU 2020-06 was effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures or consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 by requiring companies to apply ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The guidance additionally clarifies that companies should apply the definition of a performance obligation in ASC 606 when recognizing contract liabilities assumed in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 iswas effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company does not expectadoption of ASU 2021-08 willdid not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures or consolidated financial statements.
3. Going Concern
Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 205-40, Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take

into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will sufficiently mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company has hadexperienced recurring losses from operations and declines in cash positions. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $531,484$601,550 as of September 30, 2022.2023. The Company has had a trend ofexperienced negative cash flow from operations during each quarter of 2022. Forfiscal 2022 through the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had negative cash flow from operationsthird quarter of $21,701. Additionally, the Company’s cash position was impacted by the utilization of $20,000 in cash to pay down debt in May 2022.fiscal 2023. The Company’s cash position has declined from $60,111$12,066 at December 31, 20212022 to $20,118$4,654 as of September 30, 2022.2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has outstanding debt in the principal amount of $57,089 with a maturity date of May 15, 2024. In an effort to alleviate these conditions, management is implementing certain initiatives with the goal to improve revenue and its cash position, including a comprehensive rebranding, consolidation ofevaluating the Company’s technology platforms into a single applicationexpected liquidity levels and cost reductions. The initiatives include (i) collaborations with convenience stores, (ii) deliveryexploring potential ways of raising additional capital in order to meet its obligations, including the debt repayments which are due in less than twelve months from retailers in a varietythe date of industries, (iii) the entry into new markets, (iv) the developmentissuance of a proprietary stadium ordering application and (v) the entry into sponsorship agreementsthese financial statements, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to serve as the exclusive mobile ordering platformraise additional capital on commercially acceptable terms, or at certain stadiums and arenas.all. Additionally, management evaluated itsis evaluating the Company’s existing cost structure and implementedimplementing cost saving initiatives to reduce operating costs and plans to continue to implement further cost saving initiatives where appropriate. Management alsoTo the extent raising additional equity capital is pursued, management plans to raise additional capitaldo so in best efforts private placements, rather than through equity raises, including under the ATM Program (as defined below) (see Note 1312 – Stockholders’ Equity). The Company does not anticipate being able to utilize its ATM Program.
The Company’s plans are designed to provide the Company with adequate liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the twelve-month period following the date these financial statements are issued; however, the plans are dependent on conditions and factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in any future period.Additionally, we may be unable to raise additional equity capital or enter into any financing arrangements when needed on favorable terms, orif at all. Accordingly, management could not conclude that it was probable that the plans will sufficiently mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
We are continuously reviewing our liquidity and anticipated working capital needs based on overall market and economic factors. Market conditions, future financial performance or other factors may make it difficult or impractical for us to access sources of capital on favorable terms, if at all. The failure to successfully implement our strategy to raise capital while also achieving cost savings will adversely impact our financial condition, which impact could be material, could reduce the period of time for which our anticipated working capital needs will be sufficient, and could result in the Company terminating, curtailing or ceasing operations or pursuing other strategic alternatives.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business for the twelve-month period following the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
DeliveryOnline Ordering Services Segment
The DeliveryOnline Ordering Services Segment includes operations related to the Company’s technology platform for online ordering and delivery.ordering. While food ordering and delivery is the primary component of the DeliveryOnline Ordering Services Segment, the Company recently addedCompany’s technology platform also includes online ordering and delivery of various other products such as flowers, auto parts, alcohol and luxury goods. The Company generates revenue (“DeliveryOnline Ordering Transaction Fees”) in the DeliveryOnline Ordering Services Segment primarily when diners or customers place an order on the Platform. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Online Ordering Services Segment was referred to as the Delivery Services Segment (See Note 1 – Organization).
DeliveryOnline Ordering Transaction Fees represent the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to process orders on the Platform. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully processes an order placed on the Platform and the restaurant receives the order at their location. The obligation to process orders on the Platform represents a series of distinct performance obligations satisfied over time that the Company combines into a single performance obligation. Consistent with the recognition objective in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the variable consideration due to the Company for processing orders is recognized on a daily basis. The Company is the agent in the transaction as the Platform provides a means for the restaurant to receive orders from customers. As an agent of the restaurant in the transaction, the Company recognizes DeliveryOnline Ordering Transaction Fees earned from the restaurant on the Platform on a net basis. DeliveryOnline Ordering Transaction Fees also include a fee charged to the end user customer when they request the order be delivered to their location. Revenue is recognized for diner fees once the delivery service is completed. The contract period for substantially all restaurant contracts is one month as both the Company and the restaurant have the ability to unilaterally terminate the contract by providing notice of termination.
In addition to DeliveryOnline Ordering Transaction Fees, revenue in the DeliveryOnline Ordering Services Segment includes other revenue sources such as paid placement revenue for prominent positioning of a restaurant on the Platform andPlatform. Prior to the outsourcing of delivery services to Uber Direct, other revenue related toalso included fees received for the early distribution of earnings to independent contractor drivers.
Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment
The Company generates revenue from Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services by facilitating access to third-party payment processing solution providers. Revenue from such services primarily consists of residual payments received from third-party payment processing solution providers, based on the volume of transactions a payment processing solution provider performs for the merchant. The Company also occasionally receives a bonus up-front fee from third-party payment processing solution providers, paid at the time of a merchant’s initial transaction with a payment processing solution provider, based on a price specified in the agreement between the merchant and the payment processing solution provider.

TABLE_CONTENTS
Revenue from bonus up-front fees is recognized once the Company receives the initial fixed up-front bonus amount upon merchant activation.
Third-party payment processing referral fees represent revenue recognized from the Company’s offering of referral services, connecting a merchant with a third-party payment processing service. The Company’s performance obligation in
9

TABLE_CONTENTS
its contracts with payment processors is for an unknown or unspecified quantity of transactions and the consideration received is contingent upon the number of transactions submitted by the merchant and processed by the payment processor. Accordingly, the total transaction price is variable. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized by the Company when the third-party payment processor finalizes the processing of a transaction through the payment system and transaction volume is available from the payment processor to the Company. Consistent with the recognition objective in ASC 606, the variable consideration due to the Company for serving as the facilitator of the arrangement between the third-party payment processor and merchant is recognized on a daily basis. The Company is the agent in these arrangements as it establishes the relationship between the third-party payment processor and merchant, and thus, recognizes revenue on a net basis. The third-party payment processor is considered the customer of the Company as no direct contract exists between the merchant and the Company.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. See Note 65 – Accounts Receivable, Net for additional details on the Company’s accounts receivable.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a restaurant and recognizes the expense over the course of the period when the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company has determined that certain internal sales incentives earned at the time when an initial contract is executed meet these requirements. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Deferred costs related to obtaining contracts with restaurants were $3,142$2,368 and $2,968$3,128 as of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, out of which $986$1,035 and $818,$1,032, respectively, was classified as current. Amortization of expense for the costs to obtain a contract were $234$259 and $192$234 for the three months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, and $663$776 and $514$663 for the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.
Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer
The Company also recognizes an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a restaurant when they are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. The Company has determined that certain costs related to onboarding restaurants onto the Platform meet the capitalization criteria under ASC Topic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Costs related to these implementation activities are deferred and then amortized to operations and support expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years.
Deferred costs related to fulfilling contracts with restaurants were $1,844$1,484 and $1,385$1,834 as of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, out of which $504$539 and $352,$527, respectively, was classified as current. Amortization of expense for the costs to fulfill a contract were $121$136 and $71$121 for the three months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, and $325$402 and $172$325 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.
5. Business Combinations

Cape Payment Acquisition
On August 25, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and properties of ProMerchant LLC, Cape Cod Merchant Services LLC and Flow Payments LLC (collectively referred to herein as the “Cape Payment Companies”) (the “Cape Payment Acquisition”). The Cape Payment Companies facilitate merchant access to third-party payment processing solution providers and receive residual payments from the payment providers. The purchase price for the Cape Payment Companies consisted of $12,032 in cash and an aggregate of 2,564,103 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.24 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 24, 2021).

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and include internally developed software, as well as software to be otherwise marketed, and trademarks/trade name/patents and customer relationships. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets annually, or when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company has determined that the trademark intangible asset and domain names related to the rebranding initiative are indefinite-lived assets and therefore are not subject to amortization but are evaluated annually for impairment.

Goodwill
Prior to the three months ended September 30, 2022, we concluded that we had one reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we quantitatively and qualitatively reassessed our segment reporting and determined the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment is material to the group and now have two reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

No events or circumstances occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that would indicate an impairment may have occurred, and accordingly, the Company determined that goodwill and long-lived asset impairment testing was not needed at March 31, 2023. As a result of a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization during the second quarter of 2023, the Company conducted an impairment test as of the valuation date of June 30, 2023, resulting in the full impairment of the Company’s remaining goodwill.

Impairments
The Company has historically conducted its goodwill and intangible asset impairment test annually in October, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company conducts the impairment test in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“(“ASC 360”) for certain long-lived assets, including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“(“ASC 350”)for the reporting unit’s goodwill.

TABLE_CONTENTS
ASC 360 requires long-lived assets to be tested for impairment using a three-step impairment test. Step 1 of the test is giving consideration to whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. If indicators are present, the Company proceeds to Step 2 to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized.measured. As a part of Step 2, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the sumestimated undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset group to its carrying amount. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable toare less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets in question to their carrying amounts.asset group, an impairment loss is measured based on its fair value as part of Step 3. ASC 350 requires goodwill and other indefinite lived assets to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. See the discussion below of impairment testing conducted as of March 15, 2022 and September 30, 2022. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired in future periods.

For purposes of testing for goodwill impairment, the Company had one reporting unit at such time.June 30, 2023. The Company engaged a third-party to assist management in estimating the fair values of long-lived assets and the reporting unitunits for purposes of impairment testing under ASC 360 and ASC 350.
Given the results of the qualitative assessment and indications of possible impairment, the Company proceeded to Step 2 to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. measured.
The Company’s primary long-lived assets, customer relationships and developed technology,intangible assets, which are entirely related to the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment, were tested for impairment under the guidance in ASC 360.360 using an undiscounted cash flow model. The undiscounted cash flows for the long-livedcustomer relationships intangible assets were above the carrying amounts and the Company determined that the long-lived asset group was recoverable, and no impairment existed as of March 15, 2022.

These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.September 2022.
For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated giving consideration to the Income Approach, including the discounted cash flow method, and the Market Approach, including the similar transactions method and guideline public company method. Significant inputs and assumptions in the ASC 350 analysis included forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures), discount rate, long-term growth rate and tax rates for the reporting unit under the Income Approach and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples under the Market Approach. As a result of the ASC 350 analysis, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $67,190 during the three months ended March 31, 2022$9,536 to write down the carrying value of goodwill in the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment to its implied fair value.

TABLE_CONTENTS
For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company estimated the fair value of the single reporting unit giving consideration to the Income Approach and the Market Approach in a manner similar to the March 15, 2022 impairment analysis discussed above. As a result of the ASC 350this analysis, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $51,991 duringfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to write down the carrying value2023 of goodwill in the reporting unit to its implied fair value.

In conjunction with the reallocation of goodwill, the Company tested the goodwill at its Delivery Services Segment and Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment as of September 30, 2022.
The Company’s long-lived assets in each of the segments, including customer relationships and developed technology, were tested for impairment under the guidance in ASC 360. The undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived assets were above the carrying amounts for each segment and the Company determined that the long-lived asset groups were recoverable, and no impairment existed as of September 30, 2022. The customer relationships intangible assets and developed technology assets were valued using methods in a manner similar to the March 15, 2022 impairment analysis discussed above, and represent Level 3 measurements as both were based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in developing a fair value estimate. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company estimated the fair value of the Delivery Services Segment and the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment giving consideration to the Income Approach and the Market Approach in a manner similar to the March 15, 2022 impairment analysis discussed above.$500. The impairment assessment indicated that the fair value of the Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment exceeded its carrying value, and therefore did not result in a goodwill impairment. The fair value of the Delivery Services Segment was less than its carrying value, and as a result, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $1,907 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to write down the carrying value of goodwill in the Delivery Services Segment to its implied fair value.

14.13. Fair Value Measurements
Medical Contingency
Included in other income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $16,715 related to the change in estimate of a medical contingency (the “Medical Contingency”).The death of the individual in August 2021 associated with the Medical Contingency was new information the Company deemed a change in accounting estimate for the total liability.
23

TABLE_CONTENTS
The estimated loss exposure for the Medical Contingency as of December 31, 2021 was measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reflected the liability for unpaid medical expenses and dependent death benefits, totaling $423. The analysis used in the measurement of the reserve for the Medical Contingency reflected the Company’s assumptions regarding unpaid medical expenses and estimated death benefits used in developing the fair value estimate and was a Level 3 measurement. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
At March 31, 2022, management no longer deemed the Medical Contingency a liability requiring fair value measurement estimation as the remaining liability at such time consisted entirely of discrete costs related to certain unpaid medical expenses. Accordingly, the Medical Contingency was transferred out the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Contingent Consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration is measured at acquisition date, and at the end of each reporting period through the term of the arrangement, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for volatility and risk-free rate. Contingent consideration relatesrelated to thean earnout provision in the Company’s acquisition on August 25, 2021 of the Cape Payment Companies in August 2021 and the future contingent payment based on the achievement of certain revenue targets (see Note 5 – Business Combinations).targets. The contingent consideration liabilityearnout provision, if any, was payable no later than March 30, 2023, and was valued at $1,939 at$1,686 as of the acquisition date. At December 31, 2021 and is included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022, the contingent consideration liability is valued at $1,388 and is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Expected volatility is based on a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected term ofCompany determined that it was unlikely that the earnout provision at the date of valuation.would be met, therefore no value was assigned. The fair value measurementearnout provision was basednot met, accordingly, no payment was due on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus, represents Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation. The Company engaged a third-party specialist to assist management in estimating the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation.March 30, 2023.

15.14. Segment Information
As of September 30, 2022, theThe Company operates through two reportable operating segments based on two primary areas of service: (i) DeliveryOnline Ordering Services, which include operations related to the Company’s technology platform for online ordering and delivery,ordering; and (ii) Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services, which include operations related to facilitating access to third parties that provide payment processing solutions for restaurants and other merchants. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Online Ordering Services Segment was referred to as the Delivery Services Segment (see Note 1 – Organization). For additional information about how our reportable segments derive revenue, refer to Note 4 – Revenue.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by segment. There are no internal revenue transactions between our reportable segments. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the 2022 Form 10-K.
The CODM evaluates segment performance primarily based on segment adjusted EBITDA. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenue less the following expenses: operations and support, sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and certain non-operating expenses associated with our segments. Excluded from segment adjusted EBITDA are non-cash items and other items that do not reflect our core operations. The following table

Overview
WaitrASAP.com, the on-demand ordering brand for the Company, operates an online ordering technology platform (the “Platform”) using the “deliver anything ASAP” model, making it easy to order food, alcohol, convenience, grocery, flowers, auto parts and more. The Platform also includes proprietary in-stadium mobile ordering technology, providing an enhanced fan experience at sports and entertainment venues. The Platform provides delivery, carryout and dine-in options, connectingconnects restaurants, merchants drivers and diners in certain cities acrossin the United States. In June 2023, the Company contracted with Uber Technologies Inc. (“Uber Technologies”) whereby Uber Direct, Uber Technologies’ delivery service, now provides the delivery services for the Company’s online ordering of food and other items (see Part I, Item 1, Note 1 – Organization). Additionally, the Company facilitates access to third parties that provide payment processing solutions for restaurants and other merchants. Our strategy is to bring inWe entered into the logistics infrastructure to underserved populationsbusiness of restaurants, grocery stores and other merchants and establish strong market presence or leadership positions in the markets in which we operate.
Prior to the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company concluded that we had one operating segment as the operations related to the facilitation offacilitating access to third parties that provide payment processing solutions through the acquisition of ProMerchant LLC, Cape Cod Merchant Services LLC and Flow Payments LLC (collectively referred to merchantsherein as the “Cape Payment Companies”) in August 2021.
The Company operates through two reportable operating segments based on the two primary areas of service described above: (i) “Online Ordering Services”, which include operations related to the Company’s technology platform for online ordering; and restaurants (“Third-Party(ii) “Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services”) were not material to the Company’s consolidated operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, as Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services became more significant to the, which include operations of the Company, our CODM began to manage operations and assess the Company’s performance based on the operations of the delivery services related to our Platform (“Delivery Services”)facilitating access to third parties that provide payment processing solutions for restaurants and Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services areas separately, and we now have two reportable operating segments. See Part I, Item 1, Note 15 – Segment Information for additional information on the Company’s segments.
In August 2022, we initiated our rebranding initiative and introduced our new “deliver anything ASAP” business model, expanding our food-delivery servicesother merchants. Prior to a broader array of products. Among our new business expansions is the Company’s proprietary in-stadium ordering technology, which allows fans to avoid the typical long lines at stadium concession areas. We have secured exclusive in-stadium mobile ordering agreements with MetLife Stadium, the New York Giants, the New York Jets, the New Orleans Saints, the University of Alabama, and Louisiana State University. Additionally, we secured a mobile ordering agreement with the Florida Panthers, the first arena deal for the Company with a National Hockey League team. During the third quarter of 2022, we also entered into a partnership with FoodBoss, an industry leading online food delivery search engine. We plan2023, the Online Ordering Services Segment was referred to continue to build on our ancillary revenue streamsas the Delivery Services Segment. In connection with the goal to diversify the Company beyond third-party foodCompany’s arrangement with Uber Technologies, all delivery including continued emphasisservices for items ordered on the Platform are now outsourced to and provided by Uber Direct. Our strategy is to expand our ecosystem, which today is comprised of our restaurants, merchants and diners, through the enhancement of our Platform and providing additional products and services, including the facilitation of merchant access to third-party payment processing solution providers.services for our ecosystem. We believe that the Third Party Payment Processing Referral Service is a business segment with opportunity for growth. We intend to focus resources on this business segment.

Going Concern
The Company has concluded that as a result of recurring losses from operations and declines in cash positions, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of thesethe financial statements.statements contained in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s results of operations and cash positions have been adversely impacted primarily by declines in order volumes. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has outstanding debt in the principal amount of $57,089 with a maturity date of May 15, 2024. In an effort to alleviate these conditions, management is implementing certain initiatives with the goal to improve revenue and its cash position, including a comprehensive rebranding, consolidation ofevaluating the Company’s technology platforms into a single applicationexpected liquidity levels and cost reductions.

implementing cost saving initiatives to reduce operating costs and plans to continue to implement further cost saving initiatives where appropriate. The Company’s plans are dependent on conditions and factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plans or that we will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in any future period, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise additional equity capital. The result of such inability, whether individually or in the aggregate, will adversely impact our financial condition.condition and could cause us to curtail or cease operations or to pursue other strategic alternatives, including commencing a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, management could not conclude that it was probable that the plans will sufficiently mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional details.
Impact of Macroeconomic Developments and COVID-19 on our Business
We are exposed to general economic conditions that are beyond our control, including macroeconomic developments and impacts related to inflation, a high interest rate environment, increased gasoline prices, ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (from a health and supply chain perspective), and global hostilities. The inflationary trends and high interest rate environment that the U.S. is experiencing, as well as increased gasoline prices, affect all constituent groups in our ecosystem, including restaurants and consumers. These groups may be negatively impacted by these economic conditions, which in turn could impact our financial position and results of operations. There is uncertainty of the duration of these macroeconomic conditions.
We have thus far been able to operate effectively during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to economic hardships experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. federal government rolled out stimulus payments in the first quarter of 2021 which we believe had a positive impact on order volumes during such period. However, we also believe the stimulus payments resulted in increased driver labor costs as we were faced with challenges in maintaining an appropriate level of driver supply. In addition, early in the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced an increase in revenue and orders due to increased consumer demand for delivery and more restaurants using our platform to facilitate both delivery and take-out. During the second quarter of 2021 and thereafter, we believe the impact of the stimulus payments on our order volumes began to decrease.
There remains uncertainty as to whether or not the COVID-19 pandemic (including supply chain and other economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic) will continue to impact diner behavior, and if so, in what manner. Moreover, we may experience further macroeconomic impact as a result of global hostilities in the Middle East and Ukraine.
To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemicmacroeconomic factors, including inflation, a high interest rate environment, increased gasoline prices and global hostilities adversely impactsimpact the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition, itsuch factors may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022.10-Q. Management continues to monitor the impact of recent macroeconomic trends (both in the U.S. and globally) and the ongoing impact of new COVID-19 outbreakvariants and the possible effects on its financial position, liquidity, operations, industry and workforce.
Nasdaq Compliance
On July 26, 2022, the Company received approval (the “Approval”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) of the Company’s application to transfer the listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The common stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of trading on July 28, 2022. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the common stock continues to trade under the symbol “WTRH.”
As previously disclosed, on January 26, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) because the closing bid price per share of the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Company was given until July 25, 2022 to regain compliance with the rule.
In response, the Company filed an application to transfer the listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result of the Approval, the Company has been granted an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 23, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. As a condition of the Approval imposed by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(a)(i), the Company notified the Nasdaq that it would seek to implement a reverse stock split, if necessary, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule in the relevant compliance period, the Staff may provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted.

TABLE_CONTENTS
On October 20, 2022, the Company reconvened its special meeting of stockholders, whereby the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of Company common stock, within a set range, without reducing the authorized number of shares of Company common stock, if and when determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
On November 2, 2022, the Board adopted resolutions approving the reverse stock split at a reverse stock split ratio of 1:20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and authorized the Company to file a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to amend the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect the Reverse Stock Split on or prior to the time of effectiveness at 11:59 pm on November 21, 2022, or such other date as may be determined by any authorized officer of the Company (the “Effective Time”).
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be reduced to a smaller number of shares, such that every 20 shares of common stock held by a stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), will aggregate all fractional shares otherwise issuable to the holders of record of common stock and arrange for the sale of all fractional interests as soon as practicable after November 21, 2022 on the basis of the prevailing market prices of the common stock at the time of the sale. After such sale, Continental will pay to such holders of record their pro rata share of the total net proceeds derived from the sale of the fractional interests.
Trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to continue on a split-adjusted basis as of the opening of trading hours on November 22, 2022. Additionally, in connection with the Company's previously announced rebranding, it is expected that the Company’s common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new trading symbol “ASAP.”
Smaller Reporting Company and Filer Status
At the end of our current fiscal year (December 31, 2022), we will make the determination as to whether we will become a “smaller reporting company.” If the aggregate worldwide market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates was less than $60,000, as of the last business day of our second quarter ended June 30, 2022, we will be eligible to use the reporting requirements for a “smaller reporting company.” As a result of our aggregate worldwide market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates being less than $60,000 as of the last business day of our second quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company qualified as a smaller reporting company for the filing of the Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and could have chosen to reflect the smaller reporting company status at such time, but, regardless, must reflect the smaller reporting company status no later than the filing of the Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Management expects that the Company will reflect the smaller reporting company status with the filing of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and will follow the reporting requirements with respect to smaller reporting companies commencing with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Additionally, the aggregate worldwide market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of our second quarter ended June 30, 2022 is used in the determination of our filer status for the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022 and for our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2023. Based on the aggregate worldwide market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, we will be a non-accelerated filer for the year ending December 31, 2022, and accordingly, the due date for our Form 10-K will be 90 days from year-end and with respect to the filing of our Forms 10-Q thereafter, 45 days from each quarter-end.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, along with related disclosures. We regularly assess these estimates and record changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining

these estimates could cause actual results to differ from estimates. Significant estimates and judgements relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items:

Other than the changes disclosed in Part I, Item 1, Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates described in the 20212022 Form 10-K.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations
Acquisitions.Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments. The Delivery Dudes Acquisition and Cape Payment Acquisition were considered business combinations in accordance with ASC 805 and have been accounted for usingDuring the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total purchase consideration, acquired assets, assumed liabilities and contingent consideration are recorded based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. For each of these acquisitions, the excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets less liabilities acquired (and contingent consideration when applicable) has been recorded as goodwill on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. The results of operations of Delivery Dudes and Cape Payment Companies are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition dates, March 11, 2021 and August 25, 2021, respectively.
In connection with the Delivery Dudes Acquisition, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $9,536 and $121,088, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized intangible and other asset impairment charges totaling $500. Determining the fair value of approximately $171a reporting unit and $840, respectively, consistingintangible and other assets requires the use of legalestimates and professional fees, whichsignificant judgments that are includedbased on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates used could change in generalfuture periods. Significant goodwill and administrative expenses inintangible asset impairments may impact the consolidated statementcomparability of operations in such periods.our results from period to period.
Changes in Fee Structure. Our fee structure has changed at various times since our inception. We continue to review and update our current rate structure, as necessary, as we look to offer new and enhanced value-adding services to our restaurant partners. Any changes to our fee structure (whether externally to comply with governmental imposed caps or as a result of internal decision-making) could affect the comparability of our results of operations from period to period.
Goodwill Impairment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $53,898 and $121,088, respectively, to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates used could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired in future periods. Significant goodwill and intangible asset impairments may impact the comparability of our results from period to period.
Seasonality and Holidays. Our business tends to follow restaurant closure and diner behavior patterns with respect to demand of our service offering. In many of our markets, we have historically experienced variations in order frequency as a result of weather patterns, university summer breaks and other vacation periods. In addition, a significant
32

TABLE_CONTENTS
number of restaurants tend to close on certain major holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, among others. Further, diner activity may be impacted by unusually cold, rainy, or warm weather. Cold weather and rain typically drive increases in order volume, while unusually warm or sunny weather typically drives decreases in orders. Furthermore, severe weather-related events such as snowstorms, ice storms, hurricanes and tropical storms have adverse effects on order volume, particularly if they cause property damage or utility interruptions to our restaurant partners. The COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the federal government’s responses thereto, have had an impact on our typical seasonality trends and could impact future periods.
Acquisition Pipeline. We continue to maintain and evaluate an active pipeline of potential acquisition targets and may pursue acquisitions in the future both independing upon the restaurant delivery space as well as other verticals, such as payments and other complimentary businesses.availability of financing. These potential business acquisitions may impact the comparability of our results in future periods relative to prior periods.

Key Business Metrics
Defined below are the key business metrics that we use to analyze our business performance, determine financial forecasts, and help develop long-term strategic plans for our DeliveryOnline Ordering Services Segment. We currently do not have any defined key business metrics related to our Third-Party Payment Processing Referral Services Segment.
Active Diners. We count Active Diners as the number of unique diner accounts from which an order has been completed through the Platform during the past twelve months (as of the end of the relevant period) and consider Active Diners an important metric because the number of diners using our Platform is a key revenue driver and a valuable measure of the size of our engaged diner base.
29

TABLE_CONTENTS
Average Daily Orders. We calculate Average Daily Orders as the number of completed orders during the period divided by the number of days in that period, including holidays. Average Daily Orders is an important metric for us because the number of orders processed on our Platform is a key revenue driver and, in conjunction with the number of Active Diners, a valuable measure of diner activity on our Platform for a given period.
Gross Food Sales. We calculate Gross Food Sales as the total food and beverage sales, sales taxes, prepaid gratuities, and diner fees processed through the Platform during a given period. Gross Food Sales are different than the order value upon which we charge our fee to restaurants, which excludes gratuities and diner fees. Prepaid gratuities, which are not included in our revenue, are determined by diners and may vary from order to order. Gratuities other than prepaid gratuities, such as cash tips, are not included in Gross Food Sales. Gross Food Sales is an important metric for us because the total volume of food sales transacted through our Platform is a key revenue driver.
Average Order Size. We calculate Average Order Size as Gross Food Sales for a given period divided by the number of completed orders during the same period. Average Order Size is an important metric for us because the average value of gross food sales on our Platform is a key revenue driver.

Goodwill Impairment
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $9,536 to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The primary factor contributing to a reduction in the fair value was the sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization in the second quarter of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s goodwill was fully impaired. See Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional details.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $53,898 and $121,088, respectively, to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The primary factor contributing to a reduction in the fair value was the significant decline in the Company’s stock price in mid-March 2022, continuing through the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a market capitalization that was lower than the carrying value of the Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 205-40, Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will sufficiently mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company has concluded that as a result of recurring losses from operations and declines in cash positions, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of thesethe financial statements.statements in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s results of operations and cash positions have been adversely impacted primarily by declines in order volumes. Our primary source of liquidity

The Company has hadexperienced a trend of negative cash flow from operations during 2022.the year ended December 31, 2022 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cash flow used in operations totaled $21,701$28,716 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $6,022 for the nine months ended September 30, 20222023. The Company has experienced recurring net losses, and $7,870 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, pursuant to our ATM Program, we sold 27,041,659 shares of the Company’s common stock for net proceeds of $10,266. The Company’s cash position has declined from $60,111 at December 31, 2021 to $20,118 as of September 30, 2022 and approximately $14,700 as of November 3, 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s cash position was impacted by the utilization of $20,000 in cash to pay down debt in consideration for an extension of the debt maturity for each credit facility by six months to May 15, 2024. For each of the first three quarters of 2022, the Company had net losses. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $531,484$601,550 as of September 30, 2022.2023. The Company’s cash position has declined from $12,066 at December 31, 2022 to $4,654 as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has outstanding debt in the principal amount of $57,089 with a maturity date of May 15, 2024. Our cash position as of October 31, 2023 was approximately $3,992. We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand to fund operations through at least the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023.
In an effort to alleviate these conditions, management is implementing certain initiatives with the goal to improve revenue and its cash position, including a comprehensive rebranding, consolidation ofevaluating the Company’s technology platforms into a single applicationexpected liquidity levels and cost reductions. The initiatives include (i) collaborations with convenience stores, (ii) deliveryexploring potential ways of raising additional capital in order to meet its obligations, including the debt repayments which are due in less than twelve months from retailers in a varietythe date of industries, (iii) the entry into new markets, (iv) the developmentissuance of a proprietary stadium ordering application and (v) the entry into sponsorship agreementsthese financial statements, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to serve as the exclusive mobile ordering platformraise additional capital on commercially acceptable terms, or at certain stadiums and arenas.all. Additionally, management evaluated itsis evaluating the Company’s existing cost structure and implementedimplementing cost saving initiatives to reduce operating costs and plans to continue to implement further cost saving initiatives where appropriate. Management also expects thatTo the extent raising additional equity capital is pursued, management plans to do so in best efforts private placements, rather than through the ATM Program. The Company will seek to additionally funddoes not anticipate utilizing its operations through proceeds from equity raises, including any raises under the ATM Program.
The Company’s plans are designed to provide the Company with adequate liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the twelve-month period following the date these financial statements are issued; however, the plans are dependent on conditions and factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in any future period, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise additional equity capital; the result of such inability, whether individually or in the aggregate, will adversely impact our financial condition. Accordingly, management could not conclude that it was probable that the plans will sufficiently mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
We are continuously reviewing our liquidity and anticipated working capital needs based on overall market and economic factors. Market conditions, future financial performance or other factors may make it difficult or impractical for us to access sources of capital on favorable terms, if at all. The failure to successfully implement our strategy to improve revenue and order volume, achieveraise capital while also achieving cost savings and/or raise additional capital will adversely impact our financial condition, which impact could be material, could reduce the period of time for which our anticipated working capital needs will be sufficient, and could result in the Company terminating, curtailing or curtailingceasing operations and/or pursuing other strategic initiatives.alternatives, including commencing a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk and certain other market risks in the ordinary course of our business.
Interest Rate Risk

As a result, we were not exposed to interest rate risk on our outstanding debt at September 30, 2022.2023. If we enter into variable-rate debt in the future, we may be subject to increased sensitivity to interest rate movements.

Since our investments have been and are expected to remain mainly short-term in nature, we do not believe that changes inhigher interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our investments or our operating results.rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to accomplish their objectives atbecause of the reasonable assurance level asmaterial weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below under “Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of September 30, 2022.operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
ThereOther than the material weaknesses described below, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20222023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As disclosed in Part II Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in the 2022 Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness in internal controls related to ineffective design and operation of information technology general controls (“ITGC”) in the areas of program change management and user access over certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. The Company did not adequately design and maintain user access and program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s online ordering technology systems are authorized and implemented appropriately. The Company’s revenue process controls were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements and there were no changes in previously released financial results.
In the course of preparing our financial statements for the interim period ended June 30, 2023, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed due to a deficiency in the operation of our control that is designed to evaluate goodwill and intangible assets for impairment. Such control did not operate effectively to identify the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount or indicate that the carrying amount of intangible assets may not be recoverable. The material weakness did not result in any changes in previously released financial results.

TABLE_CONTENTS
The material weaknesses described above may have an impact to the Company’s financial reporting process which creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and represent material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation plan
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we began implementing our previously disclosed remediation plan for the ITGC material weakness, as described below, and continued to implement our remediation plan through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. While significant progress has been made and we expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed by December 31, 2023, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and we have concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively.
Management has taken steps with the intention of remediating the ITGC material weakness, including updated program change management policies and user access reviews. As part of the remediation plan, management has implemented a control which includes a monthly review of activity logs from affected IT applications to identify instances in which a user has developed and implemented a code change, bypassing the standard application rules that require review of code changes prior to implementation. Under the updated policy, each instance identified in the monthly review of the code change log will be reviewed by management for authorization and approval. Additionally, we have implemented monthly user access reviews over our affected IT development applications.
Management is enhancing its internal control over the identification of impairment indicators for goodwill and long-lived assets. The Company currently has a documented process to identify, assess and calculate impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. Management will review the process and enhance the documentation of evidence reviewed as part of the control. The material weakness cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable remedial control has operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is designed and operating effectively.
The remediation of the material weaknesses described above is among our highest priorities. Our Audit Committee will continually assess the progress and sufficiency of these initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary.

In addition to the lawsuits described above, Waitrthe Company is involved in other litigation arising from the normal course of business activities, including, without limitation, vehicle accidents involving employees and independent contractor drivers resulting in claims alleging personal injuries and medical expenses, labor and employment claims, allegations of intellectual property infringement, and workers’ compensation benefit claims as a result of alleged conduct involving its employees, independent contractor drivers, and third-party negligence. Although Waitrthe Company believes that it maintains insurance with standard deductibles that generally covers liability for potential damages in many of thesefor matters involving vehicle accidents and labor and employment claims where coverage is available on acceptable terms (it is not maintained for claims involving intellectual property)property, deceptive trade practices, false statements in advertising, or breaches of contract and violation of the duty of good faith and fair market dealing), insurance coverage is not guaranteed, there are limits to insurance coverage and in certain instances claims are met with denial of coverage positions by the carriers; accordingly, we could suffer material losses as a result of these claims, the denial of coverage for such claims, or damages awarded for any such claim that exceeds coverage. Litigation is unpredictable and we may determine in the future that certain existing claims have greater exposure or liability than previously understood.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to Waitr’sthe Company’s risk factors previously reported in Part I, Item 1A, of the 20212022 Form 10-K.
As required by ASC 205-40, Going Concern, our management has performed an analysis of our ability to continue as a going concern and has identified substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and management’s plans to alleviate this condition may be unsuccessful.
Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 205-40, Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Based on their assessment, our management has raised concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are issued. This evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has focused its efforts on certain initiatives to improve revenue and itsthe Company’s cash position, including a comprehensive rebranding, consolidation of its technology platforms into a single application and cost reductions. For a discussion of these initiatives, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Additionally, managementManagement evaluated itsthe Company’s existing cost structure and implemented cost savings initiatives to reduce operating costs and plans to continue to implement further cost saving initiatives where appropriate. While the Company believes that the cost savings initiatives described above will result in improved liquidity and cash flow, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future, affecting the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s results of operations and cash positions have been adversely impacted primarily by declines in order volumes. Our primary source of liquidity during the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2022 has beenwas proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.

accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $531,484 as of September 30, 2022.
As substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists, our ability to finance our operations through the sale and issuance of debt or equity securities or through bank or other financing could be impaired. Management continues to explore raising additional capital to supplement the Company’s capitalization and liquidity, and expects that the Company willmay seek to additionally fund its operations through proceeds from one or more debt or equity raises, including any raises under the ATM Program, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms commercially acceptable to the Company, or at all. Our ability to continue as a going concern may depend on our ability to obtain additional capital, as there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future as a result of our initiatives or otherwise.future. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities or preferred stock, or by incurring loans, these forms of financing would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock.common stock. If adequate capital is not available to us when needed, or in the amounts required, we may be forced to terminate, or significantly curtail or cease our operations andor to pursue other strategic initiatives.alternatives, including commencing a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Our consolidated results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these decisions and your investment in the Company could be materially impaired.

We conductMacroeconomic conditions, such as high inflation, changes to monetary policy, high interest rates, volatile currency exchange rates, decreasing consumer confidence and spending, and global or local recessions can adversely impact demand for our goodwillservices, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The impairment tests were conducted in accordance with ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets for certain long-lived assets including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, and in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other for the reporting units’ goodwill. As a result of the ASC 360 and ASC 350 analyses, we recognized non-cash pre-tax impairment losses of $67,190 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $53,898 during the three months ended September 30, 2022turn, lead to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. See Part I, Item 1, Note 7 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional details.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates used could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired and that the carrying value of other indefinite-lived assets will be recoverable in future periods, which could adversely affect our financial results and stockholders’ equity.
We are subject to a variety of risks relating to our relationships with the independent contractor drivers, including shortages of available drivers, loss of independent contractor drivers, adverse conditions impacting independent contractor drivers, and possible increases in driver compensation.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we terminated our employee drivers and outsourced our driver function to Delivery Logistics, who provides us with independent contractor drivers. While we implemented this change in a way intended to ensure that the drivers are classified as independent contractors under applicable law and regulation, certain state and local governmental authorities have initiated efforts to classify independent contractors performing driver jobs as employees. In January 2020, California State Assembly Bill 5 (“AB5”) came into effect, which codifies an employee-friendly test to determine whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor under California law. However, in November 2020, California voters passed Proposition 22, the App-Based Drivers as Contractors and Labor Policies Initiative. Proposition 22 classifies app-based transportation and delivery drivers as independent contractors and adopts various labor and wage policies specific to this class of workers, which policies will likely increase operating costs. Gig economy companies initially argued that Proposition 22 effectively exempts this class of workers from the reach of AB5. However, in late 2021, a California appellate court ruled that Proposition 22 was unconstitutional and unenforceable. This decision is pending appeal.

TABLE_CONTENTS
While the Company does not operate in California, multiple other states including Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York have attempted to codify employee-friendly language similar to AB5 while other public gig economy companies have attempted to lobby for protective measures similar to Proposition 22 putting the future of classification in the gig economy in limbo. Further, since 2020, numerous lawsuits have been filed against various gig economy companies based on the misclassification of their drivers. Most recently, Uber settled a misclassification suit in New Jersey for over $100 million. These regulatory actions and/or increased scrutiny could result in increased costs and burdens for the Company. The Company has already experienced an increase in misclassification claims since the beginning of the pandemic, particularly from various state unemployment agencies. It is possible that these claims may increase pending the Department of Labor’s proposed rule making around employment classification.
The changecosts and cause changes in composition of our driver base could also result in a degradation of service provided by contracted delivery drivers,fiscal and an increase in the turnover rates of delivery drivers. If Delivery Logistics is unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of independent contractor drivers, we could face difficulty meeting consumer order demands or be forced to forego business that would otherwise be available to us, which would adversely affect our financial condition.monetary policy, including additional increased interest rates.
