Click & Collect is one of the more popular methods for buying remotely, but how could it work for your business and if you already have a system, could it be improved?
The convenience of Click & Collect and Delivery options has proved to be very appealing for local customers, and something many businesses will continue to thrive on post-pandemic. The way it is set up varies between shops and depends on your preferred process, but orders are always placed remotely, the payment is processed remotely/online, and collection must be done in person.
Over the last 18 months we’ve had customers keen to explore ways they can adapt their frying methods to make preparing food easier for Click & Collect and delivery, as well as ways to make sure the food is kept as fresh as possible by the time it’s being enjoyed by the customers.
It’s imperative that shops take steps to guarantee freshness by the time customers receive their meals – customer loyalty is greatly valued in fish and chip shops, and ensuring they can still get the same quality meals will help make sure you don’t lose their loyalty.
So, how can Florigo help you? We have acknowledged this increase in demand and have invested some time into finding a solution to help you guarantee freshness for your customers.
The key for shops to provide fresh food is successfully storing the food until it is collected or delivered. Once the food has been prepared and is packaged, you want to preserve the warmth of the food with no significant temperature increases or decreases. Shops have invested in heat lamps that sit above the packaged food; however, you are not likely to be receiving the full benefit as the heat source is quite a distance from the food and will have to get through the top of the package before reaching the product.
As we all know heat rises, so we have developed a solution where the heat source sits directly underneath the food enabling it to travel upwards and maintain the warmth of the whole package. This is achieved by building a heat source into the shelving area that the food package sits on whilst awaiting collection. This also helps keep the area organised and tidy, which will aid productivity in those busy periods!
With three shelves heated, you can separate out your collections and deliveries whichever way you want.
This Stainless Steel Click & Collect / delivery station comes complete with 3 heated shelves and a lower non-heated shelf. The unit is easily maneuverable thanks to the castors on the feet.
It comes in three different sizes and delivery to mainland England and Wales is included in the price.
For delivery outside of these areas then please get in touch on 01527 592 000 and we can quote you for delivery.
The Stainless Steel Heated Shelving Unit is available from the Florigo Shop starting at £2,415 + VAT.
