UrbanPiper is the leading SaaS platform in the restaurant industry. We’re helping the smallest of restaurants to the largest chains across the world to grow their in-store and online commerce. Right from automating all their workflows across online delivery platforms such as Swiggy, Zomato, Deliveroo, UberEats—to building and deploying self-branded websites and apps, right to managing their walk-in customers and dine-in experiences, UrbanPiper is the preferred choice for over 20k+ restaurants.

We are backed by top VCs — Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital. Recently, we closed our Series B round of funding with Swiggy and Zomato also participating together! That’s a first and only (until now) event for any startup in the food and beverage industry.
