Lunchbox and 1Huddle Partner to Power Smarter Training for Restaurant Teams
New partnership transforms restaurant training into a competitive, mobile-first experience—accelerating tech adoption and frontline execution.
NEW YORK, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunchbox, the enterprise restaurant platform, has announced a new partnership with 1Huddle, the game-based training platform used by brands like Sodexo, TAO Group, and Madison Square Garden. Together, the companies aim to help restaurants roll out new technology, strategies, and campaigns faster by turning team training into a mobile-first, gamified experience.
From digital ordering and loyalty to catering and order aggregation, Lunchbox equips restaurants with the tools to drive off-premise growth. Its top customers are seeing an average $222 return for every $1 spent. But the biggest barrier to capturing that value isn't access, it's training.
"Operators can't afford to spend weeks getting teams up to speed on new rollouts," said James Walker, CEO of Lunchbox. "With 1Huddle, we're helping our partners train faster, drive adoption, and ultimately boost revenue."
By pairing Lunchbox's flexible platform with 1Huddle's fast, competitive learning model, restaurant teams can execute more confidently and consistently. Restaurants using 1Huddle's gamified platform report a 45% reduction in training time, along with improvements in speed, accuracy, and frontline performance.
Through the partnership, Lunchbox brands will gain access to customizable 1Huddle games built to teach frontline employees how to use Lunchbox tools and solutions, turning education into action in minutes, not days. New hires can onboard quickly. Corporations can roll out updates and new tech to franchisees without retraining from scratch. And teams stay aligned on the strategies that move the needle.
"We've seen what happens when training keeps pace with innovation — sales go up, performance gets sharper, and execution gets faster," says Sam Caucci, CEO and Founder of 1Huddle. "This partnership is about helping teams win on day one."
1Huddle's platform is already used across hospitality, retail, and even the U.S. Air Force. Its model is simple: take critical knowledge, deliver it in short bursts, and gamify it for better retention and real-world results.
The partnership reflects a shared mission: to make restaurant operations faster, smarter, and more scalable, without slowing down the people who keep them running.
