Popular quick-service hamburger chain selects leading customer loyalty and engagement platform to enhance digital experience with new programs

NEW HARTFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ParTech, Inc. (PAR), a global restaurant technology company and provider of a unified commerce cloud platform for enterprise restaurants, today announced that Jack in the Box, Inc. has entered into the final implementation phase of PAR’s leading customer loyalty, offers and engagement solution, Punchh, to introduce a new online digital loyalty program for its 2,219 restaurants.

Through the partnership, Punchh, a PAR company, is responsible for updating Jack in the Box’s online ordering interface and adding a loyalty program to provide an upgraded app and digital experience for guests.

“We are thrilled to have teamed up with Punchh to advance our digital capabilities,” said Ryan Ostrom, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Jack in the Box. “Just like our brand, Punchh lives outside of the box with its streamlined, cutting-edge technology.

Jack in the Box joins Punchh and PAR’s rapidly growing roster of global enterprise brands. Over the last eighteen months alone, Punchh has gained 71 new customers, including Taco Bell, CKE, Applebee’s, IHOP, and more. They also support nearly 40 of the top 100 restaurant brands in the United States—more than the rest of the loyalty and engagement market combined.

“Having a frictionless loyalty program is a must for food-service operators to thrive now and into the future,” said Savneet Singh, CEO of PAR Technology Corporation. “We’re proud to partner with Jack in the Box to ensure their brand has the proper solution to enhance their guest experience.
