Nabeel Alamgir is the CEO and co-founder of the digital ordering and marketing platform Lunchbox. After immigrating to the United States as a teenager from Bangladesh, Nabeel spent his American life in the restaurant industry. He began his career in the industry as a busboy at Bareburger. In this New York-based better-burger chain, he eventually rose to lead the marketing and technology departments as Chief Marketing Officer at age 25. As CMO, he helped Bareburger expand from 5 locations in New York to over 40 locations across the world and developed a tech stack that defined the brand as a leader in restaurant-tech adoption. What started as a standalone restaurant is now a franchise with over 50 locations, a testament to Nabeel’s entrepreneurial success.
Inspired by his firsthand experiences from the front to the back of the restaurant, Nabeel launched Lunchbox Technologies in 2019. The startup provides multi-unit restaurants with an online ordering system and marketing engine and has raised over $70 million from investors like Coatue Management and Primary Ventures.
