Waitr

Waitr recently announced it will be partnering with payment processing company Flow Payments to create a cannabis delivery and payment processing service for legal marijuana dispensaries. The partnership will create a platform combining Waitr’s delivery technology and resources with Flow Payments’ processing to facilitate the sale and delivery of cannabis where state and federal laws allow.

The Benchmark price target is $4. The consensus target is up at $6, but Waitr stock closed trading on Friday at $1.15.
