There’s really never been a better time to be in the food-delivery game. If a company like Olo (OLO) was to ever go public, now would surely be the time.

After the year Robinhood’s had, as retail investors took advantage of their free time during the pandemic to take up trading, many on Wall Street have been anxiously anticipating the day the company goes public.
