Lunchbox and UrbanPiper Partner to Lead Global Restaurant Tech Expansion
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.

"Our focus is solely on creating the most authentic, player-centric advertising platform in the galaxy.

Wayne Dalton™ Launches New Hydraulic Dock Leveler
LEWISVILLE, Texas, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wayne Dalton™ is introducing new hydraulic dock levelers: Models H68WD and H78WD, which were designed with durability, safety and ease of installation in mind. Built for demanding environments, these models are the latest additions to the brand's expanding dock equipment lineup and further reinforce its position as a Total Solutions Partner. With a range of exclusive design elements, the H68WD and H78WD models set a new standard for performance and installer-friendly functionality in the field. Wayne Dalton engineers took in consideration safety features to bolster the hydraulic dock leveler while maintaining ease of set-up processes for installers. Both models come standard with a textured powder-coat finish, three-wheel support bracing and removable full range toe guards. The building-to-truck transportation, a forethought for forklift operators, was designed for smooth product shifts. "Our X frame design provides a much cleaner pit design than others in the industry," Technical Sales Dock Manager Tim Wolfe said. "Unlike other hydraulic dock levelers, installers only place shims under the main cylinder, adjustable lip keepers and maintenance brace." To ensure maximum performance and safety, the hydraulic lift cylinder is mounted to the center of the unit. Installation is facilitated by cutouts on the rear hinge, which identify fillet weld locations. "Our deck-to-beam weld coverage is an industry-leading 34%, ensuring long term durability," Dor Gamliel, dock product engineering manager, said. The stability of lifting the levelers from a truck is insured by four steel fork loops bolted to the deck. These loops allow chain lifting with forklifts, whether from the interior or exterior of the building, which eliminates sliding when the levelers are stacked. These features keep processes steady and safe. The top side adjustable leveling bolts quickly position the hydraulic dock leveler with the building floor, requiring no shimming or welding at the rear of the pit. Models H68WD and H78WD are available in 30k, 35k, 40k and 45k Comparative Industry Rating (CIR) capacity, and are ANSI MH30.1-2022 certified. When purchased with a Wayne Dalton™ commercial door, these models are backed by an enhanced two-year limited warranty.
