AMID THE COVID-19 HEALTH CRISIS, J. BOOKWALTER AIMS TO PROVIDE GREATER CONVENIENCE TO CUSTOMERS IN THE TRI-CITY AREA.

Richland, Wash. – May 21, 2020 – Restaurant customers in the Tri-City area seeking convenience of food and wine available via digital ordering amid the COVID-19 health crisis now have award-winning favorite J. Bookwalter Wines and its accompanying restaurant Fiction as options. J. Bookwalter recently launched Order One Maverick, the leading online and mobile ordering product by Restaurant Revolution Ordering (Revolution), on the J. Bookwalter website. Even though J. Bookwalter’s tasting and dining rooms are closed, customers can order food and  online for take-out, including contactless curbside pick-up.

J. Bookwalter’s Order One Maverick launch also included the roll-out of Revolution’s delivery enablement product, Ground Control, which provides J. Bookwalter’s customers the ability to select delivery direct from the J. Bookwalter’s website, https://www.bookwalterwines.com/, subsequently fulfilled by DoorDash. J. Bookwalter captures the customer information, customers can earn loyalty points from J. Bookwalter’s new loyalty program and the delivery is completed on better economics for J. Bookwalter (compared to high commissions to the delivery service providers when customers go through the delivery service marketplaces).

“Implementing digital ordering and delivery was a priority for us for 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic made it an immediate necessity. We connected with Revolution and within 36 hours Revolution had provided us a demonstration of the Order One Maverick product, executed an attractive contract and had built our ordering site, including the ability to take credit card payments. They also included a new loyalty program for our customers,” said John Bookwalter, President of J. Bookwalter. “Our wine and restaurant customers deserve the best overall experience. Order One Maverick provides the most convenient ways for our customers to order and provides the experience our customers deserve. And, Revolution provides fast, professional service. Great partners!”

The timing of the launch during the health crisis compelled the Revolution and J. Bookwalter teams to create a specific menu that includes alcohol and wine and beer sales to meet customer demand and optimize sales.

“It is rewarding to enable a prestigious and award-winning winery and restaurant with digital ordering during this difficult economic environment,” said Brad Duea, CEO of Revolution. “J. Bookwalter can now engage and delight their customers off-premise, given their dining room and tasting rooms are closed to the public. They now have an ordering solution they can use to grow their off-premise business during and after this pandemic.”

Revolution’s Order One ordering platform offers two distinct products, Order One Maverick and Order One Enterprise. Order One Maverick is a new product that allows Revolution to rapidly deploy an ordering site for a restaurant client and then gives that restaurant tools to allow them to rapidly change and control their offerings, promotions and overall customer ordering experience.
