Thank you. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today. We are pleased with our results we generated this quarter, marking a second consecutive quarter of continued profitability and positive operating cash flow. Our profitable results continue to prove the sustainability of our business model and unit economics, even during these difficult times. The restaurant and hospitality sector faces an uphill battle as a result of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite impacts from recent hurricanes to our key markets and ongoing pandemic, our results continue to reflect the implementation of many fundamental strategic initiatives around service and profitability. We've expanded our service offerings and increased efficiencies, all while maintaining a cost structure with an eye on a return on deployed capital. Our focus is on continuing to grow and to operate a sustainable business model and bring value to shareholders over the long term. Our recent launch of table-side service technology is a prime example of our efforts to diversify our product offerings beyond restaurant delivery, strengthening our market presence. By combining this table-side service technology with our delivery and takeout ordering services, Waiter now offers restaurants an integrated payment solution that can help them improve their safety protocols, sales, and efficiency, both inside and outside the four walls of the restaurant. As of today, we already have many restaurants who have signed agreements to utilize the table-side service technology. Additionally, we have continued our expansion into new delivery verticals, such as same-day groceries and alcohols. all while offering no-contact delivery. During the third quarter of 2020, we also announced the appointments of three key leaders, Mark D'Ambrosio, our Chief Sales Officer, David Cronin, our Chief Engagement Officer, and Thomas Pritchard, our General Counsel. Mark, David, and Thomas have made immediate impacts in their respective areas of expertise, and I look forward to growing the business with these leaders. Now I'll turn it over to Leo, our Chief Financial Officer, for a recap of third quarter results. Thank you, Carl. I'd like to now turn our focus onto the third quarter of 2020 financial results. Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $52.7 million, compared to $49.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. Net income for the third quarter was $4.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $220.1 million. with $2.89 per share in the third quarter of last year. Third quarter 2019 net loss included $192.1 million of non-cash goodwill and tangible asset impairment charges, both considered as adjustments within our adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $13 million, compared to a net loss of $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $28.4 million, reflecting the implementation of initiatives around service and profitability. Our daily orders were approximately $39,880 for the quarter. Tax and diners were approximately $2 million as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had cash on hand of $77.1 million, an increase of $10.4 million from June 30, 2020, driven primarily from the completion of our at-the-market offerings in July and positive operating cash flows, partially offset by a prepayment of long-term debt made to our lender. Total outstanding long-term debt was approximately $99 million, consisting primarily of $49.5 million of term loans and $49.5 million of convertible loans. Thank you, Leo. With that, we will go into a short question and answer session.
