Wynd, the France-based developer of a discovery, ordering and payment platform for restaurants, has secured $7.8m from telecommunications company Orange and venture capital firm Alven Capital, TechCrunch reported yesterday.
Wynd has built a platform that restaurants can use to gradually build their online services, adding and integrating online ordering with in-store ordering, and linking to existing online payment services.
The funding will support an increase in headcount as Wynd looks to enhance the platform with a view to extending it to other industries and adding additional food service customers. Orange participated in the round through its Orange Digital Ventures unit.
