Lunchbox and UrbanPiper to go global with restaurant tech offerings
Lunchbox has collaborated with restaurant management platform UrbanPiper for the global expansion of technology offerings. The collaboration is set to broaden Lunchbox's core offerings, such as digital ordering, order aggregation, catering and delivery, to the worldwide delivery market. Lunchbox's order aggregation solution, which links third-party marketplaces directly to point-of-sale (POS) systems, provides restaurants with streamlined management for off-premise operations. UrbanPiper middleware platform supports more than 50,000 restaurant areas in 40 countries. It offers comprehensive integrations with delivery platforms, kitchen operations and POS systems. Through UrbanPiper's international infrastructure and integration network, Lunchbox can now offer a path to back the restaurant brands outside the US, eliminating the need for complex replatforming. The partnership also allows UrbanPiper to leverage Lunchbox's enterprise know-how and its US clients to expedite its growth into North America. Both companies aim to remove the requirement for disjointed systems by providing restaurants with a unified control point across international borders. UrbanPiper CEO and co-founder Saurabh Gupta stated: "The US is the most competitive restaurant tech market in the world. "We see a need for a single global contract for a lot of large enterprise brands globally with a comprehensive, all-in-one platform, and so we believe partnering with Lunchbox can help to enable us to do this." In March 2025, Lunchbox appointed James Walker, who had served on the company's board of directors since March 2024, as its new CEO. Walker stated: "The future of restaurant growth lies beyond the four walls. We're not just expanding internationally — we're setting a new standard for global off-premise infrastructure. UrbanPiper is the best partner for that mission." In 2024, US-based restaurant portfolio company BRIX Holdings entered a strategic partnership with Lunchbox to incorporate its suite of digital solutions across the brand portfolio.

Lunchbox and UrbanPiper Partner to Lead Global Restaurant Tech Expansion
The partnership combines Lunchbox's enterprise ordering and off-premises solutions with UrbanPiper's global infrastructure to deliver unified restaurant tech across 40+ countries. NEW YORK and BENGALURU, India, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunchbox, the enterprise tech platform for restaurants, has partnered with UrbanPiper, the most widely adopted restaurant management platform outside the U.S., trusted by brands like McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Subway & Krispy Kreme and many more. The partnership enables Lunchbox to expand its core solutions, including order aggregation, digital ordering, delivery, and catering, to the global delivery market, which is expected to grow from $156.75 billion in 2024 to $173.57 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 10.7%. Order Aggregation—Lunchbox's solution for connecting third-party marketplaces directly to the POS—gives restaurants a more streamlined way to manage off-premise operations. UrbanPiper, a middleware platform powering over 50,000 restaurant locations in 40+ countries, offers deep integrations across delivery platforms, POS systems, and kitchen operations. Powered by UrbanPiper's international infrastructure and integration network, this strategic alliance gives Lunchbox a turnkey path to support restaurant brands outside the United States—without the friction or complexity of replatforming. At the same time, UrbanPiper will tap into Lunchbox's enterprise expertise and U.S. client base to accelerate its expansion into North America, uniting global and local leaders to drive the next phase of off-premise growth. 'The future of restaurant growth lies beyond the four walls,' said James Walker, CEO of Lunchbox. 'We're not just expanding internationally—We're setting a new standard for global off-premise infrastructure. UrbanPiper is the best partner for that mission.' 'The United States is the most competitive restaurant tech market in the world,' said Saurabh Gupta, Co-founder & CEO of UrbanPiper. 'We see a need for a single global contract for a lot of large enterprise brands globally with a comprehensive, all-in-one platform and so we believe partnering with Lunchbox can help to enable us to be able to do this'. The Fastest-Growing Segment in Restaurants? Off-Premise. The restaurant industry is moving away from fragmented tech stacks and legacy point solutions. Operators are no longer willing to juggle half a dozen disconnected systems to manage off-premise dining. They're calling for one platform to unify it all—ordering, data, guests, and operations. That shift is driven by the rise of off-premise, which now makes up nearly 75% of all restaurant transactions, according to the 2025 Off-Premises Restaurant Trends Report. As this segment grows, so does the demand for centralized, intelligent infrastructure that can scale across regions, brands, and channels. Lunchbox x UrbanPiper: A Single Point of Control, From New York to New Delhi Together, they eliminate the need for fragmented systems, giving restaurants a single point of control across borders. About Lunchbox Lunchbox is the enterprise restaurant platform built to help operators drive digital revenue and own the guest relationship across catering, ordering, loyalty, marketing, and more. Trusted by brands like Firehouse Subs, Paris Baguette, and BRIX Holdings, Lunchbox powers scalable growth through unified digital solutions.
