Booker is rolling out a rapid delivery partnership between its delivery app Scoot and Just Eat to help its network of independent retailers reach more customers.
The new service will give symbol retailers – including Premier, Budgens, Londis and Family Shopper – the option to offer rapid grocery delivery without needing to manage their own fleet of drivers. Shoppers will continue to place orders via the Scoot app, with deliveries fulfilled by Just Eat’s courier network.
Working with Just Eat over recent months, Scoot has developed an API integration that allows symbol retailers to offer rapid delivery with “speed and minimal operational complexity”, according to Booker.
The partnership officially launched last week at Budgens Buckingham Park in Aylesbury, with additional Premier and Budgens locations to be added across England, Scotland and Wales throughout the month.
“We’ve developed this solution with our retailers in mind,” said Booker retail MD Colm Johnson. “By partnering with Just Eat, we’re helping stores offer a great delivery experience while keeping it simple and cost-effective.
“We’re proud to bring this national solution to life and see it already delivering results for our retailers and their customers.”
Just Eat for Business MD Matt Ephgrave added: “This collaboration brings together Just Eat’s courier network and technology with Scoot’s platform to make home delivery more accessible, reliable and efficient for symbol stores across the UK.
“It’s a win for retailers and a win for customers who want fast, convenience access to their local favourites.”
