WaBa Grill is a fast-casual restaurant that serves healthy rice bowls, plates, and salads across Southern California and Arizona at grab-and-go speed. Since making the switch from a legacy processor to Olo Pay, WaBa Grill has benefited from a significant reduction in fraud and fees, as well as an improved authorization rate that has resulted in additional revenue.

In 2019, WaBa Grill teamed up with Olo for online ordering to expand both its sales footprint and market reach. When the industry pivoted to off-premise in 2020, digital sales soared by 317%.
Along with the influx of online orders came a surge in fraud and chargebacks. And so, the brand enlisted the help of an anti-fraud management vendor to combat scammers and ensure legitimate transactions were authorized.
WaBa Grill quickly discovered, however, that the platform wasn’t geared toward the restaurant segment, and would require more resources and machine learning management than the team could handle.
Once Olo Pay became available, the brand jumped at the opportunity to onboard its nearly 200 locations.
