Waitr Committed to Operations in Lafayette, Louisiana

LAFAYETTE, La.--()--Waitr Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: WTRH) (“Waitr” or the “Company”), a leader in on-demand food ordering and delivery, today announced its intention to refocus its operations to Lafayette, Louisiana.

“One of our key strategic initiatives is the elevation of the entire customer experience,” said Carl Grimstad, CEO of Waitr. “We believe that one way to achieve that is to retain, as well as add to, our customer service and dispatch teams here in Lafayette, the heart of Waitr’s business. This will ensure the highest levels of service for our customers, drivers and restaurant partners.”

The Company, which is one of Louisiana’s largest employers, plans to retain 150 positions that were previously slated to be outsourced to Mexico. Waitr also plans to consolidate all Lafayette operations within their state-of-the-art headquarters facility in the first half of 2020.
