Burq co-founder Salman Habib said: “Burq’s new relationship with Waitr will make it easier and more convenient for customers to get what they need and fast from their favourite retail outlet.
“Our best-in-class technology and delivery infrastructure complements Waitr’s vast driver base that is essential to meet the demands of on-demand customers.”
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Waitr operates an online ordering technology platform, providing delivery, takeaway and dine-in options, together with Bite Squad and Delivery Dudes.
The three companies operate in around 1,000 cities across the US as of 31 March.
The collaboration with Burq is Waitr’s second major retail delivery partnership as it transitions to a larger delivery model.
Last month, the company partnered with multinational convenience store chain 7-Eleven to expand its delivery options.
As part of the agreement, Waitr, Bite Squad and Delivery Dudes will deliver from more than 700 7-Eleven stores across the US.
The nationwide partnership is intended to offer Waitr customers more delivery options.
