ABOUT

Amit is a senior integration engineer at Checkmate, where he has spent 8 years building the technical backbone connecting major restaurant chains to third-party delivery platforms — UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and beyond.

His work spans nine POS systems, six delivery platforms, and the enterprise pipelines that move menus for thousands of locations at once. He built the integration behind Checkmate's #1 revenue-generating brand (Five Guys) and delivered its first Google Food Ordering partnership (Cafe Zupas).

BRAND PROJECTS

Ten national brands, launched end-to-end.

Wendy's

2019–2026
POS
NCR Aloha → Tray POS
SCALE
~1,000 locations

Built the foundational DSP integration via NCR Aloha order injection — one of Checkmate's earliest enterprise-scale builds — plus Wendy's Canada (Skip the Dishes) and Wendy's UK. Later drove the Tray POS RFP and rebuilt the integration for the new platform across ~1,000 locations.

Five Guys

2019–2026
POS
Lightspeed Classic → Series K
SCALE
#1 revenue brand

Built Checkmate's Lightspeed integration from scratch, expanded across UberEats, Postmates, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Deliveroo — including a 54-store coordinated Postmates launch — and maintained parallel Classic and Series K integrations. Now Checkmate's #1 revenue-generating brand.

Arby's

2023–2025
POS
Oracle Simphony via Everyware/MBDP
SCALE
3,000+ locations

The largest single-brand launch in Checkmate history, and the first brand through the Inspire Brands Everyware/MBDP pipeline Amit helped build. Ran brand-wide LTO menu runs across 2,200+ locations — work that exposed and drove the RDS infrastructure upgrade.

White Castle

2020–2023
POS
Proprietary custom POS
SCALE
Chicago + ghost kitchens

Fully proprietary POS with triple-nested modifier complexity — one of Checkmate's hardest integrations. Built custom parsing logic, ran a store-by-store Chicago rollout, and led the three-way Uber AV / Coco autonomous robot delivery pilot.

Popeyes

2024–2026
POS
Oracle Simphony via RBI
SCALE
964-store fleet

Mapped the full 964-location Simphony fleet for integration planning, then ran a continuous weekly rollout cadence — multiple store go-lives per week — built on stable, repeatable processes rather than a single launch event.

Sonic

2024–2025
POS
Oracle Simphony via Everyware/MBDP
SCALE
~1,000 stores

Second Inspire brand through the Everyware pipeline. Executed a 3PD-to-Everyware conversion migrating existing DSP menu configurations for 1,000 stores, driving further Bulk Scheduler optimizations for multi-brand runs.

Inspire BrandsMigration

Cafe Zupas

2021–2023
POS
Brink (PAR Technology)
SCALE
First Google partner

An 8–12 month Brink integration with double-nested modifier complexity, gated safely behind a custom Flipper feature flag. Became Checkmate's first Google Food Ordering integration partner, opening an entirely new ordering channel.

Speedline
SCALE
80+ locations

Discovered Speedline's API was cloud-accessible, eliminating the local Windows connector — a decision that became the architecture pattern for every future Speedline brand. Added a Loke loyalty integration on top; Jet's called the results "off the charts."

Dunkin' & Buffalo Wild Wings

2021–2025

SCALE
Inspire Brands portfolio

Brought Dunkin' live through the Everyware pipeline after an earlier direct-API attempt, solving condiment import failures and zero-price item logic. For BWW, handled extensive wing/sauce modifier complexity and supported the ConverseNow voice AI launch war room.

SIGNATURE CONTRIBUTIONS

Infrastructure that outlived the launches.

01

Inspire Brands Everyware / MBDP Pipeline

Co-built the unified architecture that onboards Inspire's entire portfolio — Arby's, Sonic, BWW, Dunkin', Wendy's — handling bulk menu ingestion, Simphony mapping, batch imports, and coordinated LTO runs across thousands of locations.

02

RDS / Database Infrastructure Scaling

Identified the database bottleneck exposed by Arby's 9-hour LTO runs and drove the RDS upgrade that enabled multi-brand concurrent runs with significantly reduced processing times.

03

Bulk Scheduler

Heavy contributor to the internal tool powering brand-wide menu change runs — coordinating LTO runs across Arby's (2,200+), Sonic (~1,000), and Wendy's (~1,000) locations.

04

Feature Flag Architecture

Used Flipper feature flags to gate new integration behaviors at location or brand level — incremental, risk-managed rollouts that never destabilized unrelated production brands.

05

Uber AV / Coco Robot Delivery

A three-way integration connecting a restaurant menu, an autonomous delivery robot fleet, and an in-store POS — built without any prior playbook.

06

Google Food Ordering — First Partner

Delivered Checkmate's first Google Food Ordering integration with Cafe Zupas, establishing the company as an early Google restaurant ordering partner.
