With the rapid evolution of Smart Locker technology, Panasonic understands you may have some questions. Here are some of the key items Panasonic has addressed with our Smart Locker technology.

HOW DO I PROTECT FOOD SAFETY?
Safety is always key when fulfilling a food order. Why would you want to expose food to contamination, risk, or loss in an open or partially open storage environment? Our Smart Lockers are fully enclosed to guarantee food safety and reduce exposure to risk or loss.

ONE LOCKER, TWO SOLUTIONS
Panasonic takes the split locker cubby to a whole new dimension, with the ability to put both hot and cold food in one locker. That’s right – with the split cubby capability, we can even ensure your cold salad and your hot burger are just that.

WHY WAIT? WE’LL HAVE YOU UP AND RUNNING RIGHT AWAY
Now that you’ve seen the advantages, why wait? Because the locker solutions can stand-alone, we’ll have you up and running right away, allowing customers to see you in a whole new light.

CONTACTLESS CARRY-OUT IN 3 EASY STEPS

  1.  Customer Orders — Customer orders through existing mobile app, website, call in, or self-ordering kiosk.
  2.  Customer Alerted – Order is completed, food is loaded into the locker, and customer receives notification through native app or SMS message.
  3. Unit is Unlocked — Upon arrival, the customer enters pin or scans QR code to retrieve their food for a contactless experience.
