“Partnering with MetLife Stadium to deliver an exciting, new and convenient service to their fans marks an important milestone for us,” said Carl Grimstad, CEO and Chairman of Board of Waitr Holdings, Inc. “First, our proprietary in-stadium ordering technology will offer millions of sports and music fans each year an improved fan experience, allowing them to ‘skip the wait’ at concessions stands and other vendors throughout the stadium for their favorite food and drinks.

“Second, it will allow us to launch our best-in-class delivery services across the Tri-State area for those who don’t want to – or can’t – leave their home or office. And finally, this partnership will be a catalyst for us to expand into other major cities and venues nationwide,” continued Grimstad. “We are excited to now be able to say we provide our proprietary mobile ordering services to some of the best stadiums in the U.S. with this partnership along with our current partnerships with The University of Alabama, LSU and the New Orleans Saints with more to come.”
