Next time you're placing your McDonald's drive thru order, consider you might be talking with someone on the other side of the world. Verety provides restaurants to use remote order-taking capability. Their staff is offsite (currently, North Dakota and Hungary) and delivers greater accuracy and quicker turnaround that your average local 17-year-old. Plus, restaurants save that valuable in-store space and staff can focus on fast-paced food prep.
