A Building Safety Act control disguised as an amenity.
Foodie Locker stops unvetted food and parcel couriers from entering higher-risk residential buildings — protecting lone residents and front-of-house staff, removing fire-door propping, and giving the Accountable Person a complete, auditable record of every delivery.
What this sector struggles with.
The Building Safety Act 2022 made the Accountable Person legally responsible for managing risks in the common parts of higher-risk residential buildings. Food and parcel couriers are now the highest-frequency uncontrolled access route into UK apartment blocks — buzzing every flat, propping fire doors and roaming corridors unsupervised. Foodie Locker removes that risk at the front door. Couriers complete the handover at a secure locker bank in the entrance zone. Residents collect contactlessly with a one-time PIN. Every event is logged. The lobby stays calm, fire doors stay closed, and lone residents never have to open the door to a stranger at 11pm.
How Foodie Locker fits.
A premium resident experience, calmer front-of-house and a safer building — all from one temperature-controlled food locker system.
No more strangers at the door
Residents collect from a secure locker in the entrance zone using a one-time PIN, app or SMS. They never open their flat door to a courier they don't know — at any hour.
Controlled access, by design
Couriers complete handover at the locker without entering the building. Fire doors stay closed, lobbies stay calm, and front-of-house staff stop managing courier access.
Defensible audit trail
Every courier drop and resident collection writes to an immutable log with timestamp, compartment ID and credential — exactly what the Accountable Person needs for BSA reporting and incident review.
Measurable impact, on day one.
Unvetted courier journeys past the locker bank into the building.

Why temperature-controlled food lockers matter.
