Orderswift, Stuart take direct delivery tie up beyond London

Online ordering platform Orderswift and logistics specialist Stuart have expanded their delivery partnership to cover 34 cities and towns around the UK. The move comes after a two-year collaboration between the two companies in London.

Customer orders are placed through a restaurant’s own website via a branded interface from Orderswift. Once payment has been confirmed, the relevant order data is passed through an API integration to Stuart, which fulfils delivery to the customer using its network of independent couriers.

In addition to London, this now covers Brighton, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bristol, Basildon, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chesterfield, Darlington, Derby, Exeter, Gillingham, Hull, Huddersfield, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Nottingham, Oxford, Plymouth, Reading, Sheffield, South Shields, Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea, Teeside, Wakefield and Warrington.

Orderswift Co-founder Matt Gilbert says: “Direct delivery is flourishing in the UK. We’re excited that this partnership gives thousands of restaurants the opportunity to take their own delivery orders, strengthening relationships with their customers and giving them a significantly greater share of the profits from deliveries in the process. Our close working relationship with Stuart means that we have been able to create a turnkey solution that is getting restaurants live in a single day, which is incredible.”
