The all-new Deliveroo Food Market in Singapore gives customers the ability to quickly and efficiently order food with all the ease of an app in a physical setting. The semi-autonomous store features digital payment kiosks and lockers for people to pick up their food orders—but no staff on the customer-facing side of the store.
The Deliveroo Food Market marks the opening of the third Deliveroo’s Editions in Singapore and it is the only one of its kind with a walk-in and dine-in area to complement the on-site kitchens that prepare on-demand food orders fresh.
A number of convenience stores, grocery stores and restaurants are now exploring fully and semi-automated systems for serving customers in a way that's fast and requires minimal interaction with staff.
