Thank you. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today. We are pleased to report another quarter of profitability and positive operating cash flow, marking 11 straight months of continued profitability in our business. Despite impacts from adverse weather-related events during the fourth quarter of 2020 and early 2021, along with the ongoing pandemic, we further solidified the sustainability of our business model and unit economics. Our business reflects the implementation of several fundamental strategic initiatives that stabilize the foundation of the company so that we could position it for future growth. Our efforts during 2020 included the expansion into new delivery verticals, such as alcohol and grocery, and the continued diversification of our product offering beyond restaurant food delivery with the launch of our table-side service technology. As the pandemic continues to impact the restaurant and hospitality sector, we remain steadfast in helping our restaurant partners navigate through these challenging times. In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the integration with several third-party platforms. We also continue to partner with major national chains and virtual ghost kitchens as the restaurant industry continues to adapt to the new environment in the midst of the pandemic. In the first quarter of 2021, we got our first set of virtual kitchens live on our platform. In 2021, we looked to build on our success from 2020 by focusing on profitable growth, both organically and through strategic acquisitions to bolster our delivery footprint and expansion into other delivery verticals while further refining our integrated payments platform. We have recently agreed to pursue a partnership with Flow Payments to create a compliant marketplace delivery and payment solution for dispensaries selling cannabis. We are excited for this new venture into uncharted waters as the regulatory framework around the cannabis industry continues to evolve. Now I will turn it over to Leo our Chief Financial Officer for a recap of fourth quarter results.
