How it connects

## Ordering.co connects to Northstar through middleware.

Middleware is the bridge between two systems. Northstar already works with ItsaCheckmate, and so does Ordering.co, so your menu comes from Northstar and each online order goes back to it without a custom build. Our team helps you set up the connection.
