LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2019

Ordermark, the nation’s fastest growing online ordering enablement platform for restaurants, today announced the hiring of Michael Bell as its new COO. A veteran software CEO and entrepreneur, Bell brings a wealth of operational, business development and restaurant industry experience to Ordermark on the heels of its recent $9.5M Series A funding round.

“Mike has an incredible 25 year track-record of delivering award-winning, enterprise-grade solutions to industry,” said Alex Canter, CEO of Ordermark. “With his experience rapidly scaling world-class teams, Mike will help us keep pace with the explosive demand we’re seeing nationwide for our products and services.”

Most recently, Bell was President and COO of Bridg, a leading customer data platform for the restaurant industry’s top-tier brands including Panera, Taco Bell, Chipotle, and IHOP. Bell managed all operations at Bridg, and during his tenure, the company’s revenue and enterprise value grew five-fold.

Prior to Bridg, Bell was President of Infrascale, a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader, providing enterprise-class disaster recovery solutions.

Previously, Bell served as President of 3PL Central, a logistics leader, where he doubled revenue in the first year and led the company to achieve its first-ever operating profit.
In 1993, Bell founded Encore Software where he served as CEO for fourteen years. During his stewardship, Encore grew to become one of the top-ten consumer software publishers in North America, with annual revenues exceeding $50 million. In 2002 he sold Encore to a public company and continued to lead the business as an independent subsidiary.

“I’m really passionate about helping restaurants compete and drive profitability through innovation,” said Bell. “Ordermark’s at the forefront, pioneering cost-efficient ways to help restaurants maximize the potential of online ordering. I’m very excited to bring my years of experience to help scale this fast growing business.”

Ordermark’s employee headcount has quadrupled in the past year.
