They aren’t for post or parcels, but banks of thermal lockers are appearing in apartment building foyers around Melbourne.
Online food ordering and delivery platforms have developed from an almost unknown service to a $1.3 billion industry over the past decade in Australia.Foodifox has installed the lockers at 36 apartment and commercial buildings across Melbourne.You won’t find post or parcels in new metal lockers being installed in the foyers of apartment and office buildings around Melbourne, but the lockers could help you satisfy your hunger pangs.
Pagram says the lockers help delivery people, who work under tight time constraints and have to get food to customers as quickly as possible when apartment and office buildings are increasingly difficult to navigate.“They are hard to get into and once [delivery people] are in they are wandering around lobbies or large foyers, which can cause tension between other tenants and residents,” he says.
Foodifox’s lockers are being used by food delivery companies HungryPanda and Fantuan. The company’s plan is to expand beyond Melbourne and to sign up more food delivery companies. Industry giants Uber Eats and DoorDash are on its target list.In China, the country’s two biggest food delivery companies use food lockers. Beijing-based Meituan has distributed 1000 smart lockers around the country while Ele.me has announced it will install 3000 lockers.
