The Only Online-Ordering Product Suite that Makes Restaurants More Money

Lunchbox announced today the launch of Lunchbox 2.0, the only all-in-one online ordering and guest engagement system that lets restaurants use their data to make more money. This new suite of products empowers restaurants to deploy a beautiful and robust food ordering system similar to Chipotle or Sweetgreen, at a fraction of the cost. 

“Our initial suite of offerings empowered restaurants across the board. It walked so that Lunchbox 2.0 could sprint.” says Cofounder and CEO, Nabeel Alamgir. “Lunchbox 2.0 is a massive jump forward with features that are polished and data driven. We listened to our operators and have built features that hone in on the guest experience and operational scalability.”

Reiterating Lunchbox 1.0 

Lunchbox 2.0 is a response to what was missing on the technology front for the restaurant industry. Lunchbox launched their first core offerings in 2019 and have since built a modern online ordering system for restaurants to grow their online revenue, empowering national and regional QSR brands such as Firehouse Subs, Clean Juice, Wings Over and Papa Ginos

Throughout the first iteration of their core offerings, Lunchbox focused on listening to operators and their needs within the current digital restaurant space. Alongside their recent launches, Lunchbox has undergone a year-long process, taking their learnings and feedback across their 72M processed orders and 10,000+ support tickets, to redevelop a product suite that answers operators’ current stresses across restaurant tech.

Lunchbox 2.0 unleashes a full product suite that deploys a beautiful and robust ordering system similar to Chipotle or Sweetgreen at a fraction of the cost.

Working alongside operator tickets and feedback, Lunchbox rebuilt their platform and features with guest experience, onboarding and platform sustainability in mind. Throughout the build of Lunchbox 2.0, the company invested into building a stronger foundation that minimizes onboarding issues and is backed by efficient design and efforts targeted to keeping guests happy while spending.

With the launch of Lunchbox 2.0, the company salutes the foundation it’s built in Lunchbox 1.0, reinvesting in their mission to deliver restaurant revenue and scalability across all market segments.
