Highest-rated partner recognized for unmatched reliability and order orchestrationARLINGTON, Va., May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Qu , the leader in unified commerce for enterprise restaurants, has been named as the only point-of-sale (POS) platform to earn the highest possible rating of "Excellent" in the new DoorDash Preferred Integrations Program, launched last week.As delivery continues to play a larger role in the restaurant landscape, this program evaluates technology partners based on real-world system performance, error rates and integration depth. Qu emerged as the only POS to achieve exceptional scores across the board, delivering a 99.8% order success rate — more than 3x better than the industry average — with no need for middleware or manual workarounds. For restaurants, that means fewer headaches and more fulfilled orders, ultimately improving profitability through more sales and revenue growth.Unlike some unified commerce or traditional POS platforms, Qu injects orders directly from third-party marketplaces into the POS and KDS, enabling a seamless, automated order flow with significantly lower failure rates, real-time updates, centralized control and dynamic pricing across all delivery platforms. More importantly, merchants can update menus and pricing for all order channels from Qu's unified menu management platform and gain full visibility into performance, without the integration chaos."For too long, restaurant operators have had to sacrifice either speed or stability. We built Qu on the belief that they shouldn't have to choose," said Amir Hudda, CEO of Qu.
