Lunchbox – the enterprise online ordering system that's platformed national and regional brands – launched Lunchbox Open, an advanced open marketplace that allows restaurants to plug directly into the platform to gain access to all major integration partners, while creating an entry point for new partners.
With Lunchbox Open, Lunchbox now has the largest network of integrations, giving restaurant operators access to 100+ partners.
As an online ordering system, Lunchbox enables restaurant chains to take control of their digital growth strategy through its suite of products specializing in app and web ordering, customer loyalty, marketing, and order aggregation to increase sales and strengthen guest engagement. The company has empowered more than 5,000+ restaurant locations across the United States, including Bareburger, Clean Juice, Fuku, Little Sesame and Tacombi, among many others.
The new offering will allow restaurants to gain entry and invite their preferred integrations to the platform, all while streamlining efforts and building beyond their current restaurant operations.

“Our mission is to help restaurants in every avenue and the best way to do that is by giving them access to pick and choose the integrations that make sense for them and their restaurant,” said Lunchbox Co-founder Hadi Rashid. “We're also opening up the race for integration partners. We hope to see more companies emerge that project restaurants forward – and this platform gives our restaurants direct access to these companies. It's the Zapier for restaurants.”
