May 4, 2021 Technological threats and scams are a sad fact of life in the restaurant realm, but there's one taking place now via the Telegram app that's causing particular issues for limited-service brands lately. Telegram is a cross-platform, cloud-based instant messaging app, which the tech security professionals at Sift said criminals are using to carry out a form of fraud that often hits restaurants' bottom line. To be clear, Telegram is not at fault for anything regarding this subject, but criminals are using the app to perform a scam that targets restaurants that deliver. It makes sense then that savvy operators will take the time to listen to an important webinar about this criminal undertaking and how to avoid getting trapped in it.
