Can we use all three platforms with the same locker?

Yes. The locker handoff is platform-agnostic — any courier can use the touchscreen flow, regardless of which platform sent them.

Which platform is cheapest?

Per-order cost is broadly comparable across the three; the real cost driver is your allowance policy, not the platform. Negotiated rates at scale narrow any gap further.

Can we self-host an in-house ordering layer instead?

Possible but rarely worth it for under 1,000 employees — the corporate platforms already handle policy, billing, restaurant onboarding and customer support.

Deliveroo for Business vs Uber for Business vs Just Eat for Business: which fits London offices best?

Three platforms, three pricing models, three different views on what 'corporate food delivery' should look like. Here's an honest side-by-side comparison for London office occupiers — with the locker-handoff implications baked in.

Three platforms, three pricing models, three different views on what 'corporate food delivery' should look like. Here is an honest side-by-side comparison for London office occupiers — Deliveroo for Business, Uber for Business (Uber Eats) and Just Eat for Business — with the locker-handoff implications baked in.

Deliveroo for Business

The most adopted in London. Strongest restaurant coverage in central postcodes; best 'premium' restaurant list; cleanest admin UI. Strong for team lunches, client catering and the work-late dinner crowd. Per-order pricing, consolidated billing, granular policy controls (allowance, time window, cuisine, alcohol).

Uber for Business (Uber Eats)

Bundles food delivery (Uber Eats) with rides (Uber) on one corporate account. Strong if the company already runs Uber for Business for ground travel. Wider coverage outside central London than Deliveroo in some postcodes; restaurant list overlaps heavily but with some Uber-exclusive partners. Policy controls are competent but slightly less granular than Deliveroo.

Just Eat for Business

Historically the strongest in scheduled team catering — pre-ordered, delivered for a set time, plated buffet-style for meetings and events. Less aggressive on on-demand individual lunches than the other two, but unbeatable for the 'feed 40 people at 12:30 sharp' use case. Pricing leans event-based rather than per-order.

Side-by-side

Rough rule of thumb: Deliveroo if your dominant use case is on-demand individual ordering in central London. Uber for Business if you want food and ground travel on one bill. Just Eat for Business if your dominant use case is pre-scheduled team catering. Many London offices run two — Deliveroo or Uber for daily, Just Eat for events.

The handoff layer is the same for all three

Whichever platform you choose, the last 30 metres is the same problem: a courier with a hot bag standing at a security barrier. A Foodie Locker handoff bank in the lobby works identically with all three — courier scans, drops, leaves; recipient PIN-collects within the 90-minute heated window. The platform decision and the handoff decision are independent and can be made separately.
