Negative Points

Q & A Highlights

Q: With the BK rollout and new deals, could you speak to the growth cadence over the next three quarters and if you're still targeting 20% ARR organic growth for the year? A: We are targeting 20% plus organic growth for the year. The second half will see more impact from these deals and the big POS rollout. Expect gradual growth in Q2, similar to Q1, with a pickup in Q3 and Q4. Significant EBITDA expansion is also expected towards the end of the year. Savneet Singh, CEO

Story Continues

Q: Can you provide more details on the five new logos of multiproduct wins and any ARR metrics around those wins? A: We won five new POS deals this quarter and similar amounts on the Engagement Cloud. I can't disclose specific deal sizes or logos due to contracts, but we are well-positioned to make impactful launches and bring in second products quickly. Savneet Singh, CEO

Q: Can you explain the slight reduction in reported ARR for Q3 and Q4 relative to last time? A: The reduction is due to FX adjustments, particularly from the business acquired last year, TASK, which has revenue primarily outside the U.S. Adjusting for constant currency, sequential ARR grew by $10 million. Savneet Singh, CEO and Bryan Menar, CFO

Q: Do you have visibility on organic ARR growth for next year, especially with the four Tier 1 wins? A: We don't have enough visibility for 2026 yet, but we feel good about the current trajectory. The value of deals is higher due to multiple product attachments, which is promising for future growth. Savneet Singh, CEO

Q: Can you update on the competitive environment and any changes in RFP processes? A: We are happy with our competitive position, especially in table service deals. We feel strong in product offerings, and our high win rate in Tier 1 deals reflects our competitive edge. Savneet Singh, CEO
