LIVONIA, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clipper Magazine, today announced its new, customizable platform through the Total Loyalty Solutions (TLS) mobile app builder that makes online ordering effortless. TLS is an offering through Clipper Magazine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valassis, a leader in intelligent media delivery.
The new online ordering software provides quick service restaurants (QSRs) and small/medium businesses (SMBs) with their own branded online and mobile ordering platform. The TLS coaching team helps restaurants increase orders by highlighting featured menu items, setting delivery areas and tracking revenue generated from marketing promotions. Restaurateurs have access to order tracking and support 24/7. For the consumer, favorite menu items and one-click ordering offer convenience, ease and a frictionless experience.
