Lunchbox, the enterprise online ordering system that’s platformed national and regional QSR brands such as Papa Gino’s, Clean Juice, Wings Over and Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux, has announced the launch of OPEN Payments, an innovative solution that enables restaurants to supply their own payment processor and leverage best-in-class processing through their point of sale system.
Alongside their recent launch of the Lunchbox 2.0 product suite in October of 2022, the brand introduces new processes that allow restaurant operators to select their preferred credit card payments processor for all online and mobile app ordering. The OPEN Payments ecosystem serves as a solution to the industry’s current offerings, now allowing restaurants to own their processing operations from end-to-end.
Through Lunchbox, operators can tap into integrations with the following POS systems:
- Toast
- NCR Aloha
- Brink POS

Differentiating from their competitors’ offerings, the OPEN Payments ecosystem encourages new and existing POS systems in the space to nurture their relationships with their current customers. Current offerings within the space limit operator’s payment selections; with OPEN Payments, operators can bring in their own trusted processor to tap into their current capabilities.
“We’re excited to bring this news to all point of sale systems,” says Lunchbox’s VP of Partnerships, Chrissy Ouellette. “Our OPEN Payments ecosystem is a game-changer for restaurant operators, and it presents a unique opportunity for POS systems to deepen their relationships with their customers.”
In addition to their POS integrations, Lunchbox is supporting integrations with major processors and gateways like, WorldPay, FirstData, Heartland, TSYS, Authorize.Net, among others. OPEN Payments is coming on the heels of Lunchbox’s rollout of OPEN, their best-in-class API which gives restaurateurs and developers the ability to integrate all of their restaurant tech stack within one platform.
“Our mission at Lunchbox is to help restaurant operators grow their businesses with best-in-class technology,” Chrissy added. “We’re excited to be leading the charge in the off-premise ordering space and are committed to helping our partners succeed.”
