Sauce, the first-party ordering and delivery platform for independent restaurants, announced its integration with Apple Business Connect, a free tool that lets businesses manage their presence across Apple Maps, Wallet, Siri, Mail, and other apps. This integration enables Sauce's restaurant partners to update their Apple Maps place cards with accurate hours, photos, and promotions, providing a direct path for customers to order.
“Stronger visibility across Apple’s tools creates a smoother path from discovery to ordering,” said Li-ran Navon, CEO and Founder of Sauce. “This integration fits perfectly with our mission to help restaurants take control of their brand and customer relationships and online presence. From digital discovery to ordering to delivery, Sauce now helps restaurants own every touchpoint of the customer journey.”
Restaurants using Sauce gain streamlined access to Apple Business Connect’s Insights feature, which provides metrics on how customers discover and interact with their place card. These insights help restaurants refine promotions and tailor offers. The integration rolled out in phases starting December 2025, and restaurants can register for Apple Business Connect for free here and link their account through Sauce, or work with their Sauce Restaurant Success Managers.
“Apple Business Connect adds an important new layer to Sauce’s end-to-end platform,” said Elliot Hool, VP of Marketing at Sauce. “We’re evolving beyond delivery to become the complete ecosystem for restaurant management and growth, bringing together discovery, ordering, and AI-Powered customer retention automation in one place.”
The integration marks a significant step for independent restaurants looking to compete with larger chains by owning their customer relationships. By leveraging Apple’s widespread apps, restaurants can attract diners directly without relying on third-party delivery aggregators. For more information, visit https://getsauce.com/apple.
