Smart Insulated Lockers
A choice of compartment sizes to suit your food orders, space and collection needs.
Grocery & meal kits
The shopping basket has fragmented. The lobby hasn't caught up.
Tesco Whoosh, Sainsbury's Chop Chop, Deliveroo Hop and Joybuy turned the weekly shop into 4–6 small drops a week. Gousto, HelloFresh, Mindful Chef and Thrive added scheduled meal kits on top. Foodie Locker is the secure, insulated infrastructure layer that handles all of it — without your concierge becoming a fridge.

Foodie Locker — smart insulated lockers for food delivery and collection
Indoor & Outdoor
Flexible installation options that put food collection where it works best.
Multiple Languages
Simple delivery and collection in the languages your customers and teams use.
Built Around You
Tailor branding, settings and workflows to suit your operation.
The Problem
Food orders are creating friction on site.
Volumetrically, grocery and meal-kit drops have already overtaken takeaway in most BTR and PBSA schemes we measure. Quick-commerce users place 4–6 orders a week. Meal-kit subscribers add 1–2 scheduled deliveries on top. The infrastructure that handles those handles takeaway as a free side-effect — not the other way around. Foodie Locker ships insulated compartments as standard, with standing courier instructions registered across every major UK grocery and meal-kit brand. The result: zero doorstep handovers, zero spoilage, zero 'no one was home' refund disputes.

The Solution
One designated collection point for every food order.
Insulated smart lockers give every order a secure, clearly signed place to wait — so collections stay organised and teams stay focused.
A handover that just works
Couriers drop into an insulated compartment. The resident gets a one-time PIN. Groceries and meal kits stay protected until collection — with auto-reminders if forgotten.
Registered with every grocer and meal-kit brand
We register each locker bank as the verified building delivery point with Tesco Whoosh, Sainsbury's, Deliveroo Hop, Joybuy, Amazon Fresh, Gousto, HelloFresh, Mindful Chef and Thrive — including standing courier instructions, what3words and access notes.
An amenity residents factor into renewal
Buildings with dedicated grocery lockers see meaningful uplift in resident NPS and renewal scores. Operators can layer first-box partnerships with major meal-kit brands as a soft commercial overlay.

FAQs
Common questions about food lockers
Compartments are insulated, not refrigerated — designed for short collection windows. Residents are notified the moment a drop is made, and auto-reminders keep dwell times short so produce stays fresh.
