Streamline collection. Cut the cost of every delivery into your building.
Deliveries are the single largest unbudgeted workload in modern buildings. Foodie Locker moves parcels, groceries and hot food out of reception and into secure, insulated self-service compartments — lowering operating cost, protecting staff time and creating a new revenue line per building.
What deliveries actually cost you today
The cost is rarely on a line item. It sits in staff hours, storage space, complaints, replacements and the time your team can't spend on residents.
Staff time at the desk
Signing, logging, storing and handing over deliveries absorbs 30–45% of a typical front-of-house day.
Storage and lobby clutter
Parcel mountains take lettable or amenity space and create a poor first impression on every viewing.
Resident complaints
Missed drops, cold takeaway and lost parcels drive a disproportionate share of negative reviews.
Access and liability risk
Couriers and drivers wandering floors is an access-control and building-safety exposure you carry.
Replacement and goodwill costs
Lost or damaged items are almost always absorbed by the building, not the courier.
Missed revenue
Delivery footfall is the most under-monetised asset in the building — and it's already happening daily.
Three levers owners can pull
Every install is measured the same way: hours removed, cost avoided, revenue added.
Take delivery admin off the desk
Couriers and drivers deposit directly into an allocated, insulated compartment. Residents collect 24/7 with a code. No signing, no storing, no chasing.
Add commercial revenue per building
Partner brands and delivery platforms pay to use the locker bank. Estimated up to £200 per month, turning a cost centre into an income line.
Fully funded, £0 capex
Hardware, install, software, maintenance and support covered with no capital outlay and no monthly fee, funded by commercial usage.

How much does delivery handling cost a building each year?+
Most front-of-house teams spend 30–45% of their day on deliveries: signing for parcels, storing them, chasing residents, and handing over takeaway at the door. On a typical 300-unit building that is the equivalent of a full-time role — before you count lost parcels, complaints and lobby storage space.
How do lockers reduce reception and concierge workload?+
Couriers and drivers deliver straight into an allocated compartment. Residents collect 24/7 with a PIN or app code. Nobody signs, stores, chases or hands anything over, so the front desk is freed for the work that actually affects resident satisfaction and retention.
Can lockers generate revenue for the building owner?+
Yes. Alongside the operational saving, buildings can earn commercial revenue from partner brands and delivery platforms using the locker bank — estimated up to £200 per month per unit of locker infrastructure, depending on footfall and location.
Is there a zero-capex option?+
Yes. Our fully funded model covers hardware, installation, software, maintenance and support with £0 capex and £0 monthly cost to the building, funded by commercial usage. Use the ROI calculator to compare it against a purchased or subscription install.
What does an owner need to provide?+
Power, a suitable footprint in the lobby, mailroom or perimeter wall, and a nominated site contact. We handle survey, install, courier onboarding, resident comms and ongoing support.
How quickly do buildings see a return?+
Most buildings see measurable reduction in front-desk delivery time within the first month. Combined with commercial revenue and reduced parcel losses, the funded model is net positive from day one because there is no capital outlay.
