GetSwift Limited (ASX: GSW) (‘GetSwift’ or the
‘Company’), a leading provider of SaaS logistics technology, is
proud to support the State of Florida with a crisis-response
program designed to sustain daily meal delivery during the
coronavirus pandemic.
Starting Monday, April 13, GetSwift will provide order
management, delivery and routing support to help reach senior
Floridians and others in need who depend on daily meal service.
GetSwift will partner with Feed The Need of Florida and Meals of
Love, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs
(DOEA) and restaurant partners such as the 4R Restaurant Group,
operator of 4 Rivers Smokehouse restaurants which will provide
fresh-cooked meals seven days a week.
“We are honored to be working with the State of Florida, Meals
of Love, Feed the Need of Florida and 4R Restaurant Group on such a
critical initiative to reach vulnerable Floridians in this
extraordinary time of need. We are looking forward to supporting
all of other States that are in the process of implementing similar
measures. Now is the time to stand united as we meet one of the
greatest challenges we face as a nation,” said Bane Hunter, Chief
Executive Officer of GetSwift.
GetSwift, based in New York City, provides delivery logistics
and staff management services to clients across the United States
and around the world. In addition to restaurants, GetSwift serves
companies across industries ranging from billiard table
manufacturers to propane-tank services to government infrastructure
services.
The emergency service will reach up to all 67 counties in
Florida. The total value of the agreement cannot be determined due
the unpredictability of the total number of meals that will be
delivered on a daily basis.
4 Rivers Smokehouse locations along with other Florida
restaurants will reconfigure its food production facilities to
produce daily meals in a cost-efficient manner.
“Our entire team looks forward
to working with Florida restaurants to meet the challenge and
opportunity to deliver nutritious meals to our fellow Floridians,”
said Skip Kimpel, Chief Information Officer at 4R Restaurant Group.
“This ambitious endeavor would not be possible without the
technology GetSwift will provide to organize orders, schedule
drivers, and provide logistics to ensure timely, accurate
deliveries.”
4 Rivers is involved as part of its participation in Feed The
Need, a program created out of 4Roots, a nonprofit whose mission is
to build a better food future in Central Florida.
This announcement was approved, and authorised for release by,
the GetSwift Board of Directors.
