Foodie Locker — smart insulated lockers for food delivery and collection
Anywhere You Need
Flexible indoor and outdoor installations.
Speak Their Language
Simple collection in multiple languages.
Made for Your Business
Your branding, your settings, your workflows.
The Problem
A broader offer. Not a bigger kitchen.
Contract caterers manage food services within client-owned hospitals, large workplaces and campuses. Meeting every shift, schedule and taste through one staffed outlet can stretch the operation. A shared collection point gives you another way to serve those needs.
- 01
Different schedules
staff and site users need food outside the main serving window.
- 02
Counter pressure
prepared-order handovers interrupt service at busy times.
- 03
Menu limits
one on-site kitchen cannot economically serve every preference at every hour.
- 04
A wider client brief
operators need to balance choice, convenience and cost while keeping site access controlled.
The Solution
A collection layer that complements your catering.
Foodie Locker connects prepared orders with the people collecting them. Use insulated compartments for your own catering service and agreed external deliveries; retain your existing ordering and payment channels.
More convenient collection
Customers collect a freshly delivered order using the collection methods available at your site, within its agreed collection window.
Fewer routine handovers
Separate collection from counter service so your team can focus on preparation and the people they serve.
A stronger client offer
Add flexibility and approved food choice without trying to recreate every menu or keep every outlet staffed all night.
What's included
Built into every deployment.
Insulated collection compartments
Order-ready alerts & collection options
Drop-off & collection records
Indoor, outdoor or built-in formats
Operator or client branding
Optional ordering integrations
How It Works
Simple from drop-off to collection
01Prepare or deliver the order
Your catering team or an approved supplier loads the order into a designated compartment.
02Order is ready for collection
The customer receives confirmation that their order is ready, with details of how to collect.
03Customer collects their order
The customer retrieves their order using an available collection method, within the agreed window; your team can review the handover record.
Integrates with existing systems
Connects with ordering, access and management tools.
Works as standalone
Deploy on its own — no other software required.
No personal data needed
Runs on one-time pickup codes.
One collection point. Two complementary uses.
Your kitchen during service. More choice beyond it.
Internal click-and-collect
Customers pre-order through your existing ordering channel. Your team prepares and loads each labelled meal into a compartment; the customer collects using an available collection method. Separate collection from the serving counter and reduce routine handovers.
Approved external food provision
When your kitchen closes, approved restaurants, delivery partners or off-site kitchens can deliver fresh orders to the same collection point. Broaden the offer for staff, shift workers and other site users without promising an all-night kitchen.
Agree the operating model with your client: which suppliers may deliver, when external orders are accepted, who supports collections, and how the contracted catering offer is protected. This is an agreed service arrangement, not a promised automatic switch between ordering platforms.
Build the case with your client
Start with one site and a defined service window.
- 01
Map demand
Identify who needs food, when the current offer stops, and which menu or collection gaps matter most.
- 02
Agree the operation
Set supplier permissions, access, cleaning, allergen information, collection windows and missed-order responsibilities.
- 03
Measure the result
Compare handover time, order volumes, collection times, user feedback and total operating cost before considering an estate-wide rollout.
Food safety & collection windows
Foodie Locker compartments are insulated, not heated or refrigerated. Extended collection access is not extended food storage: use short collection windows and a food-safety procedure suitable for each meal.
Optional integrations
Ordering-system and PoS connections are optional, scoped integrations and may carry an additional cost.

FAQs
Common questions about food lockers
Both can be involved, but this model is designed around the catering operator delivering the food service for its client. The site owner, operator and Foodie Locker agree the location, access and operating responsibilities.
