US enterprise restaurant platform Lunchbox has announced a partnership with 1Huddle, a game-based training platform.

Their collaboration aims to help restaurants implement new technology and strategies more quickly by transforming team training into a mobile-first, gamified experience.

The partnership focuses on boosting off-premise growth and improving training efficiency.

Lunchbox provides restaurants with tools for digital ordering, loyalty programmes, catering and order aggregation, helping them drive off-premise growth.

According to Lunchbox, its top customers report an average return of $222 for every $1 spent. However, the main challenge is training, not access.

Lunchbox CEO James Walker stated: "Operators can't afford to spend weeks getting teams up to speed on new rollouts."

By combining Lunchbox's flexible platform with 1Huddle's learning model, restaurant teams can execute tasks more confidently and consistently.

Restaurants using 1Huddle's gamified platform have reported a 45% reduction in training time, along with improvements in speed, accuracy and frontline performance.

Through the partnership, Lunchbox brands will gain access to customisable 1Huddle games designed to teach frontline employees how to use Lunchbox tools efficiently.

This approach turns education into action quickly, allowing new hires to onboard rapidly and corporations to roll out updates without extensive retraining.

1Huddle founder and CEO Sam Caucci stated: "We've seen what happens when training keeps pace with innovation — sales go up, performance gets sharper and execution gets faster."

1Huddle's platform is already utilised across hospitality, retail and even the US Air Force. Its model delivers critical knowledge in short bursts, gamifying it for better retention and real-world results.

The partnership reflects a shared mission to make restaurant operations faster, smarter and more scaleable without hindering the workforce.

Lunchbox is a restaurant tech solution for enterprise brands, enabling them to scale their digital presence efficiently. It supports more than 5,000 restaurant locations nationwide, including Firehouse Subs, Chopt, Pei Wei and BRIX Holdings.

Organisations such as Shake Shack, TAO Group have utilised 1Huddle, focusing on faster onboarding, better upskilling and employee motivation through competitive learning.
