WASHINGTON, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Flybuy, the industry-leading AI-powered location engine that powers over 40,000 restaurants, retailers, and grocers worldwide, announced a strategic partnership with unPLUG Dining, the highest-converting digital platform built exclusively for modern restaurant brands.

Through a deep SDK integration, Flybuy and unPLUG seamlessly fit into any restaurant brand's first-party digital strategy. Guests can place orders through unPLUG's digital ordering experience while Flybuy's real-time location technology and intelligent order readiness engine optimize fulfillment behind the scenes.

By combining unPLUG's customizable guest experience layer with Flybuy's advanced guest and delivery driver location intelligence, restaurant operators can better manage order pacing, minimize wait times, and improve the quality and accuracy of every order, particularly for perishable food items.

"Our partnership with unPLUG combines powerful first-party engagement tools with real-time operational intelligence to help brands deliver faster, smarter, and more seamless experiences."

This allows restaurant teams to optimize workflows, reduce bottlenecks, and ensure orders are ready at the ideal moment for pickup or delivery. At the same time, unPLUG's embedded operator model custom-fits its technology into restaurant and franchisee workflows, eliminating operational friction around order management, guest data, loyalty, and payments. The result is a flexible and invisible technology layer that powers some of restaurant brands' largest and most important revenue channels: first-party digital ordering.
