DeliverThat Integrates With ezCater’s MSI Software
CANTON, Ohio, September 12, 2023 (Newswire.com) - DeliverThat, the industry leading catering delivery and setup company, with over $250 million dollars of catering delivery and a network of 15K active drivers under its belt, just announced its integration with MSI, ezCater's catering management software.
"We are excited to introduce a streamlined integration that, with a few button clicks in the existing MSI dashboard, will schedule a delivery with our specialized fleet of drivers to solve a huge pain point for off-premise catering. And as always, all DeliverThat deliveries can be managed and tracked, regardless of channel, in our Smart Dashboard," said Matt Benzel, Chief Technology Officer for DeliverThat.
MSI, ezCater's catering management software, provides restaurants with specialized tools to track, prep and execute catering orders and manage relationships with high-value customers. With the new integration, restaurants can seamlessly accept catering orders and assign them to DeliverThat for a driver, all within MSI. Any changes to the delivery will automatically be updated in both the MSI and DeliverThat platforms. And, with the Smart Dashboard DeliverThat introduced earlier this year, all deliveries, regardless of channel, are viewable in the Dashboard.
"Food for work is complex and high stakes. Customers prioritize reliable, on-time delivery, and restaurant operators are looking for ways to add delivery capacity as a result," said Mike O'Hanlon, Chief Partnerships Officer, ezCater. "We're excited to expand the number of delivery service providers that our restaurant partners can seamlessly access through our MSI software with the addition of DeliverThat," added O'Hanlon.
DeliverThat's partner, Tocaya, who is taking advantage of this integration indicated that the integration has not only saved them time because they no longer have to re-enter the deliveries manually, but it has also cut down on the human error factor. Additionally, the integration has allowed them to never miss a delivery, increasing their sales.
"Prior to this integration, there were orders that were being entered into the system too late and we were missing out on those sales. This direct integration eliminates that factor," said Megan Welcome, Director of Catering for One Table Restaurant Brands.

The National Memorial Day Parade Returns to Washington, DC, Led by Legends of Space
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Today, in commemoration of Military Appreciation Month, the American Veterans Center (AVC) announces the return of the National Memorial Day Parade Presented by Boeing, on Constitution Avenue alongside the iconic monuments of the National Mall, starting at 2 pm on Monday, May 29th, 2023.
Grand Marshals of the 2023 National Memorial Day Parade will be 'The Legends of Apollo' - heroes from NASA's famed Apollo program and the first men to walk on the moon - coming as NASA prepares the next generation of moonwalkers through the forthcoming Artemis program. The parade, presented by Boeing, is the largest Memorial Day event in the nation and serves as a moving timeline of American history, featuring historical re-enactors, military veterans, active duty personnel, celebrities, and entertainers to honor and salute the men and women who have sacrificed in service to America.
"AVC is proud to announce the return of this holiday tradition and honored to welcome these legends of history as our Grand Marshals," said AVC President Tim Holbert. "They symbolize America's shared values of service and sacrifice and their achievements inspire hope for Americans' potential as we look to the future."
Joining as Grand Marshals will be Russell 'Rusty' Schweickart (lunar module pilot on Apollo 9) Charlie Duke (lunar module pilot on Apollo 16), and Harrison 'Jack' Schmidt (lunar module pilot on Apollo 17) - Duke and Schmidt being two of the four living men to walk on the moon, with Schmidt being the last living person to have set foot on its surface.
The National Memorial Day Parade will be joined by honored veterans from World War II to the present day as a tribute to those who have served and sacrificed.
"All of us at The Boeing Company want to thank the American Veteran's Center for your ongoing commitment to our veterans and for making this parade possible," said Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "It's an honor to support this powerful tribute to our fallen service members."
In addition to the live, in-person experience, the parade's television special will be broadcast on national television through major network affiliates (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CW) and worldwide to every military installation and Navy ship at sea on American Forces Network, to reach a collective audience of more than 100 million households. The American Veterans Center re-introduced the tradition of a Memorial Day parade along Constitution Avenue in 2005, decades after it had faded away during the Second World War.
Additional information will be announced this month. Follow @AVCUpdate on Twitter and visit NationalMemorialDayParade.com to stay updated.
The American Veterans Center (AVC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational foundation dedicated to guarding the legacy and honoring the sacrifice of our military personnel from every generation.

The Birthplace of the Model T: Henry Ford’s Piquette Plant Turns 120
Ford Piquette Avenue Plant Museum
A 1909 Model T parked in front of the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant Museum in Detroit, MI.
DETROIT, March 6, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The birthplace of the Model T and one of the oldest surviving automotive factories in the world, the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit, Michigan, has turned 120 years old. Henry Ford constructed this long, narrow, wood and brick building to provide maximum light and air for his workers between 1904 and 1910. It is where Ford developed the car that put the world on wheels.
As the factory celebrates its birthday milestone, on the heels of the 115th anniversary of the 1908 Model T, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded the museum a $500,000 Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant. This federal grant will match one dollar for every three dollars raised by the museum in support of crucial infrastructure projects and increased accessibility for the many thousands of visitors who tour the historic structure each year.
Today, Piquette is a U. S. National Historic Landmark and nonprofit museum open year-round to the public. Through photographs, film, exhibits, original artifacts, and more than 65 rare vehicles, the museum brings to life the industrial, cultural, and social history of the City of Detroit just after the turn of the century. Saved by community volunteers in 2000, the building is miraculously preserved, offering an unparalleled place to explore early automotive history. It is an iconic tourist attraction in the place known worldwide as The Motor City.
Despite significant repairs to the building over prior decades, however, the site is endangered, and volunteers are racing to install modern infrastructure that will protect it, and its rare vehicle collections, for generations to come.
“Support from the NEH underscores the national significance of the Piquette Plant in American industrial history,” said Jill Woodward, President & Chief Operating Officer of the museum. “This is where Detroit’s origin story as The Motor City begins, right here in our Milwaukee Junction neighborhood, where Ford, Dodge, Cadillac, Detroit Electric and dozens of other automakers and auto suppliers were all operating. We hope community appreciation for our national automotive heritage will help us raise the funds needed to match the NEH challenge.”
The museum is currently tackling an estimated $10 million in capital needs including addressing cloth-covered wiring dating back to 1926, an inoperable fire-suppression system, a 98-year-old elevator, 120-year-old plumbing, and no heating or cooling throughout most of the museum.
“Our greatest artifact is the building itself,” says Woodward. “Visitors from all over the world are amazed to experience the history of this place with its original patina intact.” The museum has engaged Detroit-based architectural firm Albert Kahn Associates to design the enhancements to the building. This partnership is fitting since the legendary late architect and founder of the firm, Albert Kahn, collaborated with Henry Ford to revolutionize the field of industrial architecture.
The first affordable, mass-produced car for everyday people, the Model T sparked a worldwide transformation in manufacturing, transportation, and urban planning, as well as social and cultural trends such as The Great Migration and the population shift from farms to cities. By the early 1920s, every other car on the plant was a Model T. This car was in continuous production for nearly 19 years and more than 15 million were made. Visitors to the Piquette Plant today can stand in Mr. Ford’s secret Experimental Room, in the exact spot where the first Model T was conceived and built.
Matching donations to support the "Preserving the Legend" fund at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant Museum can be made online at www.fordpiquetteplant.org. For more information, contact [email protected] or call (313) 872-8759.
