We're growing the team behind our Restaurant tablet app (iOS & Android) - a solution used every day on tablets in live restaurants in Canada.
(Android-first: 90% Android tablets, 10% iPad; primary market: Skip Canada). Orders are received and processed in real time, so the stability and quality of the app directly impact our partners' day-to-day operations.
