Lunchbox, an enterprise tech platform for restaurants, is partnering with UrbanPiper, a popular restaurant management platform known for its work outside the U.S.
The partnership will allows Lunchbox to expand its core solutions, which includes 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 compound annual growth rate of 10.7 percent.
The union will integrate Lunchbox’s capabilities in connecting third-party marketplaces to the POS systems of restaurants with UrbanPiper’s middleware platform, which is in use in around 50,000 restaurant locations in more than 40 countries.
“The future of restaurant growth lies beyond the four walls,” said James Walker, CEO of Lunchbox, in a statement. “We’re setting a new standard for global off-premise infrastructure.”
Lunchbox has long held ambitious goals. As has UrbanPiper. They’re both looking to become globally indispensable. Both see opportunity in an off-premises market that now makes up nearly 75 percent of all restaurant transactions, according to the 2025 Off-Premises Restaurant Trends Report.
“We see a need for a single global contract for a lot of large enterprise brands with a comprehensive platform,” said Saurabh Grupta, co-founder and CEO of UrbanPiper.
Providing a single point of contact may prove irresistible for operators in an industry moving away from fragmented tech stacks and legacy point solutions.
