We’re thrilled to share what’s next for Cartwheel in 2025! This year, we’re doubling down on our commitment to transforming delivery operations and empowering businesses to scale seamlessly. Our focus will center on three key areas: catering, new verticals like convenience stores and groceries, and international expansion.
Here’s a closer look at what’s ahead:
1. Expanding Excellence in Catering
Catering remains one of the most lucrative and rapidly growing segments for restaurants, but it’s also one of the most complex to manage. In 2025, Cartwheel will continue to enhance its catering solutions to ensure that restaurants can easily handle high-value orders.
- Reliability at Scale. We’re expanding our network of 50+ trusted delivery service providers (DSPs) to ensure every order is delivered on time and handled with care.
- Advanced Tools. Our platform will offer even more efficient ways to manage catering deliveries, from real-time tracking to improved reporting.
- Enhanced Integrations. We’re also upgrading our existing integrations with Olo Cater+, Toast Catering & Events, and other catering solutions to deliver an even smoother experience for restaurants. Plus, we’re introducing new catering-focused integrations—stay tuned for exciting updates!
Whether it’s scaling operations during peak holiday seasons or managing last-minute catering orders, Cartwheel is committed to making catering seamless and profitable.

2. Exploring New Verticals: Convenience Stores and Groceries
In 2025, Cartwheel is building on its proven success and established features in convenience and grocery delivery to further expand into these industries, addressing the growing demand for reliable, same-day solutions. With a track record of helping restaurants streamline their delivery operations, we’re bringing our expertise to these sectors, ensuring that businesses can meet customer expectations for speed, reliability, and quality.
- Grocery Delivery Solutions. Cartwheel is expanding its network with more grocery-focused DSPs to meet the growing demand for reliable deliveries. To streamline processes and maintain accuracy, we’re offering a customized driver management solution equipped with features like barcode scanning to keep operations smooth and simple.
- Convenience Store Solutions. Cartwheel empowers convenience stores with tools for managing scheduled and on-demand deliveries, including alcohol and tobacco. Building on success with current customers, we continue to expand capabilities, ensuring accountability, efficiency, and compliance with in-house tools and regulated third-party partnerships.
- Hybrid Solutions. As groceries, convenience stores, and food service merge, Cartwheel supports hybrid models like restaurants offering groceries or grocery stores providing meals. With a diverse DSP network tailored to various delivery needs, we help businesses expand their offerings while maintaining delivery quality.
With groceries becoming increasingly delivery-dependent, Cartwheel’s expansion into these sectors will unlock new opportunities for businesses seeking a competitive edge.
