What is a Food Locker?

A Food Locker is an innovative, secure kiosk that provides customers with a fast and convenient way to pick up their food. It simplifies food pickup while ensuring orders are contactless and accurate. The Shield, our state-of-the-art food locker, guarantees that the correct order always reaches the correct customer.

This isn’t a new invention, but its demand has surged since the pandemic as businesses adapt to contactless service solutions. A food locker works similarly to Amazon Lockers, with flexible sizes and temperatures designed to accommodate different types of orders. Some lockers keep food hot, while others maintain it chilled—perfect for optimizing food quality.

For businesses seeking a streamlined, systematic approach to managing online orders, food lockers are more than an amenity—they’re a necessity.

Why Does Your Business Need a Food Locker?

Maximize Efficiency and Enhance Customer Experience

A Food Locker simplifies the pickup process for both customers and delivery drivers. It saves time, eliminates queues, and reduces the chaos of managing high-volume online orders.

While some establishments rely on staff to handle pickups, this system often creates confusion, especially during peak times. A food locker like The Shield ensures orders are organized, maintains their proper temperatures, and enables a quick, hassle-free handoff.

Imagine a clutter-free counter and no misplaced orders. With food lockers, you avoid placing orders on unsuitable surfaces like floors or overcrowded spaces. Efficiency and speed become second nature, delivering a premium customer experience while enhancing your brand's reputation.

How Does the Food Locker Work?

A food locker uses a secure, code-based system to manage pickups:

1. Order Placement: Staff assign an order to a designated bay and lock it using the customer’s unique code (e.g., the last 4 digits of their order number).
2. Pickup Made Simple: Customers or delivery drivers select their order on a touchscreen and input their code. The locker automatically unlocks the correct bay, ensuring secure and seamless retrieval.

The Shield Food Locker goes a step further:

Customizable Design: It’s expandable and adaptable to fit seamlessly into your space.
• Additional Branding Opportunity: Use the locker’s exterior to advertise your business, increasing visibility and enhancing customer perception.

Avoid Costly Mistakes


Traditional pickup systems often fail due to errors like unchecked order slips, which lead to mistaken or stolen orders. With The Shield, every bay is secured, providing peace of mind for customers and staff alike.
