Are the lockers heated or chilled?

Compartments are insulated, not heated or chilled. They are designed for short collection windows, keeping orders secure and protected until they are picked up.

Are food lockers secure?

Yes. Each order sits behind its own one-time code, and every drop-off and collection is logged.

Do Foodie Lockers integrate with other systems?

Yes. Foodie Locker connects with ordering platforms, access control and management systems through open APIs — or runs on its own with no other software needed.

Can lockers go indoors or outdoors?

Both. Units can be installed indoors, outdoors or built into a wall, with a choice of compartment sizes and branding to suit the site.
