Connected Food Order Lockers

The OrderHQ Smart Locker Series Offers a Contactless Experience

The OrderHQ smart locker series has been developed in partnership between Apex Order Pickup Solutions and Welbeit Inc. as a solution for contactless order pickups. The smart lockers highlight see-through doors that will streamline the ability to see the order inside, which will increase efficiency for both staff as well as consumers. The units are integrated with a point-of-sale system along with additional back-of-house management systems to maximize overall efficiency and autonomy.

The OrderHQ smart locker series will be manufactured by Welbeit's Merco brand in the United States and sold under both the Apex and Merco brands to businesses. The lockers will help to deliver quick, intuitive and contactless order deliveries to support the shift away from in-person interactions in foodservice and beyond.
