Maple Partners with Shift4 to Bring AI Phone Ordering to SkyTab RestaurantsMarch 16, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire
Integration Enables Restaurant Operators to Capture Every Call and Increase Revenue


Maple, the leading voice AI platform for restaurants, today announced that it has integrated its solution with Shift4 (NYSE: FOUR), a global leader in integrated payments and commerce technology, to bring 24/7 AI-powered phone ordering to restaurant merchants using SkyTab POS nationwide.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260316749809/en/Maple's Voice AI-powered phone ordering is now integrated with SkyTab for seamless order and menu management.
The partnership integrates Maple's voice AI directly with SkyTab, addressing the persistent challenge of missed phone calls and lost revenue facing restaurant operators. With over 40% of restaurant phone calls going unanswered during peak hours, the average restaurant loses more than $30,000 annually in unrealized phone orders.


"Restaurant owners constantly tell us that they can't afford to hire dedicated phone staff, but they also can't afford to miss calls," said Aidan Chau, CEO and Founder of Maple. "Partnering with Shift4 allows us to bring AI phone ordering to thousands of SkyTab restaurants with an integration that just works: orders flow straight to the kitchen without extra tablets, duplicate entries, or friction."


Deep Integration Drives Operational Efficiency


Unlike typical AI phone systems that require weeks of menu programming and configuration, the Maple-SkyTab integration enables deployment in minutes. Maple pulls menu data directly from SkyTab, including items, modifiers, pricing, and availability, ensuring accurate order taking from day one.


Key capabilities include:



Direct POS integration: Phone orders taken by Maple's AI appear on SkyTab kitchen display systems and receipt printers instantly, no extra tablets or manual re-entry required



Real-time menu synchronization: Maple pulls live menu data directly from SkyTab, eliminating manual menu programming



Seamless payment processing: Customers can pay over the phone or upon pickup, with transactions flowing through Shift4's existing payment rails



Multi-location support: Restaurant groups can deploy Maple across all SkyTab locations with centralized management and location-specific customization



24/7 availability: Maple answers every call around the clock, capturing phone orders during peak rushes, after hours, or when staff are focused on in-store service



Beyond order taking, Maple's AI handles reservations, catering inquiries, hours and directions, and frequently asked questions.


Addressing a Persistent Industry Challenge


American restaurants miss roughly one in three incoming calls during service hours, a structural problem that costs the industry billions annually. The challenge is timing: phones ring most when kitchens are slammed and staff are focused on guests in the dining room.


The Maple-Shift4 partnership tackles this head-on. With Maple handling phone orders around the clock, restaurants capture revenue they'd otherwise lose while freeing staff to focus on in-person service. Orders taken by AI flow directly into SkyTab's kitchen systems, no extra hardware, no manual re-entry, no disruption to existing workflows.


Since launching in December 2023, Maple has answered over 1 million calls for restaurants with a 94% resolution rate without human intervention. The platform also handles reservations, catering inquiries, hours and directions, and common questions, all integrated with leading POS systems.


Availability


The Maple integration is available now to all SkyTab merchants in the United States. Restaurants can activate the service through the SkyTab Marketplace or contact their Shift4 representative.


About Maple


Maple, the leading Voice AI platform for restaurants, provides 24/7 phone answering for restaurants and local businesses, handling orders, reservations, and delivery inquiries. A graduate of Amazon's AWS Generative AI Accelerator, Maple has scaled to serve over 2,500 merchants since launching in December 2023. The platform integrates with major POS systems and partners with leading restaurant technology platforms. Headquartered in New York City, Maple is on a mission to ensure no restaurant ever misses a customer call again. For more information, visit maple.inc.

Shift4 Payments, Inc., Now a Single Share Class Company, Removing Super-Voting Stock, and Eliminating Tax Receivable Obligations to FounderFebruary 9, 2026 4:30 PM
Business Wire
Shift4 Payments, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of a simplification of its corporate structure (the “Simplification Transaction”) that the Company previously announced was being negotiated. The Simplification Transaction collapsed the Company’s multi-share class structure into a single Class A share class structure and resulted in our Founder and former CEO, Jared Isaacman, simultaneously assigning and waiving his rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with the Company.


Transaction overview


On February 7, 2026, the Company, Shift4 Payments, LLC, Mr. Isaacman, and Rook Holdings Inc. (“Rook”), an entity controlled by Mr. Isaacman, entered into an agreement to effect a corporate structure simplification to transfer and waive Rook’s rights under the TRA and collapse the share class structure. Prior to the completion of the Simplification Transaction, all Class B and C shares were beneficially owned by Mr. Isaacman and Rook. Through this transaction, Mr. Isaacman has converted his equity interests in Shift4 Payments, LLC, along with his Class B and C shares in the Company into Class A shares. This transaction eliminated the Company's previous "controlled company" status under NYSE corporate governance standards. Mr. Isaacman remains the Company's largest equity holder with an approximately 25.9% ownership, following more than 25 years of founding, leading, and growing the business into a global financial technology powerhouse.


Actions completed under the Simplification Transaction Agreement:



Rook redeemed and exchanged all of its LLC Interests on a one-for-one basis for Class A shares and the corresponding Class B shares were cancelled;



Mr. Isaacman and Rook converted all Class C shares on a one-for-one basis for Class A shares and Rook waived its consent rights under the prior stockholders agreement;



Rook assigned its rights and benefits under the TRA to the Company, making the company the sole beneficiary of the tax benefits associated with Rook’s TRA;



Consideration: In exchange for these and other company benefits, Mr. Isaacman (in part via Rook) received aggregate value of $191.8 million, consisting of (1) approximately $138.8 million in cash (tax distributions previously held by the Company), (2) 423,296 shares of the Company’s mandatory convertible preferred stock issued in a private placement; and (3) deemed satisfaction in full of Mr. Isaacman’s previously disclosed agreement to fund 50% of the Company’s discretionary equity award program for non-management employees.



Key benefits to the Company and investors:



This transaction eliminated Mr. Isaacman’s voting and contractual control rights, and thus the Company's previous "controlled company" status under NYSE corporate governance standards.



Removing multiple share classes and super-voting stock attracts a wider audience of institutional and retail investors and certain indices. It also increases the public stockholders’ influence on any potential future change of control transaction.



The Company is relieved of an estimated $440 million of future TRA payments, removing a large and uncertain future cash outflow while improving long-term free cash flow visibility. These benefits are now retained by the Company and its shareholders.



A special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, who retained PJT Partners LP as its independent financial advisor and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP as its independent Delaware counsel, approved the Simplification Transaction.


Forward-Looking Statements


Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this press release are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the Simplification Transaction, the assignment and waiver of the TRA and payments pursuant to the TRA, the elimination of voting and contractual control rights, other benefits to the Company, future negotiations, and the timing of any of the foregoing. Actual results may differ materially from those explicit or implicit in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to the other risks, uncertainties, and other important factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as updated by the Company’s other filings with the SEC, copies of which are available free of charge on the Company’s website at investors.shift4.com. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

SHORTED 76.43

SMALL ON RUMORS
GLOBAL PAYMENTS IS SAID TO WEIGH ACQUISITION OF US PEER SHIFT4 $FOUR— FSMN (@faststocknewss) December 14, 2023

When it comes to compounding revenue, all three of the aforementioned companies - MercadoLibre $MELI, Shift4 Payments $FOUR, and Super Micro Computer $SMCI - perfectly meet the requirements.

Shift4 Payments Inc. formed a bullish base below resistance at $76.40. The company's second-quarter earnings report on August 3 could be a catalyst for a significant price move.

The Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League have chosen Shift4 ($FOUR), the market leader in integrated payments and commerce technology, to handle payments for their ticket sales.

Shift4 Payments establishes itself as a key player in the changing landscape of financial transactions.

Shift4 Payments, Inc. is a fast-growing company with enticing prospects, backed up by strong free cash flow generation. In the last six months, Shift4 has outperformed many of its competitors, demonstrating its ability to expand beyond its initial focus on restaurants to other sectors. Despite a slight slowing in growth rates, Shift4 is still expected to deliver high growth rates in the mid-30% range for 2024, backed up by its strong free cash flow. At 19x forward free cash flows, the stock is very appealing.

Shift Four Payments stock sees 65% growth and breaks into the casino business.

Mirae Asset Global Investments lowers its stake in Shift4 Payments as key insiders sell stock.

Mirae Asset Global Investments Co. Ltd. has recently lowered its stake in Shift4 Payments, Inc., in a move that has sparked interest in the financial and investment communities. According to the most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from Mirae Asset Global Investments Co. Ltd., they have reduced their holdings by 14.1%, selling off 11,735 shares during the fourth quarter of last year. Following this move, the fund now owns 71,316 shares of Shift4 Payments stock worth $3,989,000.
Shift4 Payments, a US-based payment processing company, offers omnichannel payment options and advanced technology for merchants across various industries. The company recently completed a successful sale of 1,000 shares, valued at $70,000, and 1,500 shares, valued at $107,475. Director Sarah Goldsmith-Grover and CFO Nancy Disman sold 1,500 shares, resulting in Disman owning 375,165 shares with an accumulated value of $26 million. Despite market uncertainty and changing ownership, Shift4 Payments remains a strong and innovative player in the payments industry, with interest and support expected to grow in the future.

In order to help restaurants in need, Shift4, the pioneer in integrated payments and commerce technology, has partnered with Jon Taffer, an award-winning hospitality expert and star of the hit TV programme Bar Rescue, to launch the new SkyTab Rescue Mission competition. Restaurant owners can now apply to receive a complete SkyTab POS system, a $20,000 business grant, and a one-on-one personalised consulting video call with Jon Taffer.

The market expects Shift4 Payments to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2022. It's a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price.

Shift4 launched its initial public offering in June 2020 with shares priced at 23. In 2022, FOUR stock has retreated 17% amid the bear stock market. Further, Starlink is only one part of Shift4's strategy to expand into new markets. Shift4 gets most of its revenue from customers in the hotel and restaurant industries as well as casinos. It has expanded into sports stadiums, airlines and charitable giving as well as food and beverage companies.

It has good value based on P/S ratio and estimated fair value.

It will be interesting to see how they do in the long run. Both FOUR and Starlink.

Starlink has many issues fully deploying their constellations... chips, cost, and reliance on Starship for launch vehicle to complete their "shell"


Is the starlink/FOUR contract for starlink subscription payments only? I wonder if they plan to use starlink and FOUR to process everyday consumer purchases for example bank and atm transactions in less developed countries

It will be interesting to see how the contract with Elon's Starlink helps them. The roll out of Starlink globally is taking awhile due to chip shortages.
