One kitchen. More places to collect.
Restaurants can serve customers in nearby offices and residential buildings by taking pre-orders, delivering one scheduled batch and loading each order into an individual locker compartment for secure self-service collection.

Opportunities to evaluate
Why restaurants explore off-site collection
Reach new customers
Serve people who work or live beyond your normal walk-in and delivery radius.
Test a new location
Gauge demand in an area before committing to a lease or fit-out.
Consolidate deliveries
One scheduled run carries many orders instead of many individual trips.
Build repeat ordering
Predictable menus and delivery times can encourage regular orders.
No extra staffed outlet
Serve another location without opening a full staffed site.
Direct relationships
Customers order from you through your agreed channel.
These are potential benefits to evaluate in a pilot, not guaranteed financial results.
Operating arrangements
Models to discuss
Each arrangement is subject to site agreement and commercial terms. Foodie Locker does not operate an established nationwide network of available locations; sites are agreed one by one.
Restaurant-funded branded lockers
The restaurant funds a branded locker at a host site and serves its customers there.
Building-funded lockers
A building funds the locker and invites participating restaurants to supply food drops.
Shared lockers
One locker serves several approved food providers on an agreed schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Can a restaurant serve an office without opening another outlet?
Yes, potentially. Customers pre-order, the restaurant delivers one scheduled batch, and each order is collected individually from a locker at the office.
Does Foodie Locker take the orders or payments?
No. Orders go through the restaurant's existing or agreed ordering channel. Foodie Locker handles secure collection.
Are there ready-made locations available?
Not as a nationwide network. Host locations are agreed individually, and we can help you assess a pilot site.
How long can food wait in a locker?
Compartments are insulated, not heated or refrigerated, so collection windows should be kept short and agreed in advance.
