Q & A Highlights

Q: With the BK rollout and new deals, could you speak to the growth cadence over the next three quarters and if you're still targeting 20% ARR organic growth for the year? A: We are targeting 20% plus organic growth for the year. The second half will see more impact from these deals and the big POS rollout. Expect gradual growth in Q2, similar to Q1, with a pickup in Q3 and Q4. Significant EBITDA expansion is also expected towards the end of the year. Savneet Singh, CEO
