Takeaways, Restaurants & Street Food

    The challenge

    What this sector struggles with.

    You've automated ordering. Now automate collection. Modern restaurants already use websites, apps, QR codes, kiosks and delivery platforms to take orders, and kitchen display systems to organise preparation — but the final step is still manual. A member of staff stops what they are doing, identifies the order, speaks to the customer or driver and hands it over. Foodie Locker automates that final step, giving your team a simple, secure way to load completed orders while customers and delivery drivers collect independently.

    How Foodie Locker fits.

    A premium resident experience, calmer front-of-house and a safer building — all from one temperature-controlled food locker system.

    How it works

    The journey from order to collection.

    You've automated ordering. Foodie Locker automates the final step — the handover. No queue. No searching for orders. No staff handover.

    01

    Order

    Customers order through your app, website, kiosk or delivery platform.

    02

    Prepare

    The order reaches your POS or kitchen display system and the kitchen prepares it.

    03

    Load

    When the order is ready, staff place it into the allocated Foodie Locker compartment.

    04

    Notify

    The customer or delivery driver receives their collection notification or access code.

    05

    Collect

    They open the correct compartment, take their order and leave.

    Collection models

    Two simpler ways to collect.

    Customer pick-up

    Click. Collect. Go.

    Customers order online, through your app or at a self-service kiosk. When their food is ready they receive a collection notification, enter or scan their code, open the correct compartment and take their order.

    • No counter queue.
    • No waiting for staff.
    • No confusion over which order belongs to them.
    Delivery driver pick-up

    Faster driver handovers.

    Kitchen staff load completed delivery orders straight into Foodie Locker. Drivers authenticate on arrival and collect from the assigned compartment, so your team stays focused on preparing food.

    • Multiple drivers collect at once.
    • No congestion around the counter.
    • Every collection logged and verified.
    Keep the kitchen cooking

    Fewer interruptions. Faster collections.

    The busiest collection periods are often when your kitchen team is under the greatest pressure. Foodie Locker removes repetitive collection interactions from the counter.
