WAITR, INC.
Lake Charles, Louisiana
www.Waitrapp.com

“From Waitr’s founding we wanted to focus our business on underserved small- to medium-sized markets in the U.S.  As a native of Louisiana, I felt it was best to keep our company in Louisiana and serve the types of markets that we lived in.  The incentives that Louisiana offers startup technology companies made it an easy decision to headquarter our company in Louisiana.  Raising money in Louisiana to lead Waitr to a $600 million market cap was key to our success thus far.”
