# THE CHALLENGE

**EatStreet** is an online food delivery company based in Madison, Wisconsin serving 250+ cities across the United States. The success of the company relies on maintaining the trust of partner restaurants and their customers. EatStreet must process orders quickly and accurately to ensure a good ordering experience. Initially the company was using manual processes to label and assess potential fraud. However, the system was prone to false positives, declining legitimate customers and causing chargebacks. As volume increased, EatStreet had to spend more time and resources on fighting fraud.

## THE SOLUTION

Given the high-volume, real-time nature of food delivery, **EatStreet** needed a fraud prevention solution that would allow the company to approve more orders while also reducing the chargeback rate. An automated approach based on real-time decisioning would allow EatStreet to eliminate manual processes, ensuring that good customers would know if their order had been approved instantly. Automation would also allow the company to scale fraud prevention without putting extra burden on the customer service team.
