Lunchbox, already poised to win the segment and having recently signed on clients like Dos Toros Taqueria , Chopt Creative Salad Company , and Condado Tacos , has brought on Dardick to enhance and build the premier catering order management system for large-scale organizations. With the catering industry reaching new heights, estimated to grow approximately USD $104.92 billion between 2020 and 2025 ( PRNewswire ), the restaurant industry is ripe for a direct-ordering catering channel that allows operators to sell and grow at scale effectively. Today, enterprise restaurants find few trusted technology partners offering direct-ordering solutions, resulting in a significant gap between marketplaces and reliable first-party channels. Moreover, existing solutions do not fully support the complex operational struggles restaurants face when managing B2B catering. With Dardick at the forefront of strategy, Lunchbox expects significant investment and development of its catering business, further positioning them to fill the catering order management gap.Erle Dardick said on joining Lunchbox, "For 23 years, I was driven to build a best-in-class order management system for takeout, delivery, and catering.
