The Future of Takeout: Why Food Pickup Lockers Are a Game Changer for Quick Service Restaurants

Quick service restaurants (QSRs) are restaurant models that offer a smaller, affordable menu, typically serving food from a counter without table service. These restaurants put speed and efficiency at the forefront, giving customers a quick option to grab a meal. According to Toast, QSRs were valued at 406.17 billion dollars in 2024 and are expected to become a 662.53 billion dollar industry by 2029. As digital ordering and takeout demand continue to rise, restaurants need smarter ways to keep up with order fulfillment. Incorporate a fast, and secure solution that transforms guest and staff experience with Luxer One Food Pickup Lockers. ​​Our  smart lockers allow customers and delivery drivers to grab meals quickly with no lines, no confusion, and no delay.

why food pickup lockers?

Luxer One’s Food Pickup Lockers are designed specifically for QSRs that want to simplify the order handoff process. These lockers offer an intuitive, contactless solution that tackles common guest complaints like long wait times and order mix ups. According to Toast “65% of consumers prefer ordering food through a drive-thru or collection over dining in person.” The demand for faster, more convenient pickup options is growing. Food lockers offer a solution that meets customer expectations while improving operational efficiency for restaurants.

As a result of the standard takeout pickup options, including shelves or counter service, prepaid food is at risk for theft or mix ups, or customers are forced to wait in long lines. Our Food Pickup lockers offer measurable results including:

  • Reduced Labor Costs
    Streamline operations by minimizing workload for order handoff.
  • Faster Pickups
    Eliminate lines with lockers that can be accessed via QR code or unique code without staff assistance.
