Apex Order Pickup Solutions

Last day in Booth #5821 at the .

And we're leaving Chicago with two critical bits of information:

1. Never skimp on a good pair of insoles
2. Operators across every segment — restaurants, colleges, casinos, and more — are done patching pickup. They're ready to solve it.

That's what we're here for.

Day three at the !

One thing keeps coming up in every conversation on the floor:
The moment between order ready and order received.

It's the chaotic gap nobody designed for. The place where congestion builds, staff gets pulled off the line, and the guest experience quietly falls apart.

We've spent years closing that gap. And this show, operators are seeing exactly what that looks like.

Two day left. Booth #5821.

Digital ordering changed everything about how restaurants and foodservice operations take orders.

Pickup? That took longer to catch up.

The new OrderHQ® Array was built to close that gap. It’s a modular pickup system designed to complete the digital order process, not just manage the end of it.

More compartment configurations and more flexibility in one system that fits the operation it serves.

Watch the video. Then come see it in person at the . Booth #5821.

If you've ever watched a pickup area turn into a waiting room nobody asked for, you already know the problem.

There's the congestion. The confusion. The team member who became the unofficial bag cop somewhere along the way.

We've spent years solving that exact moment. If you're headed to the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago this month, come find us.

We’ll show you what solved looks like.

There's a moment in every order that nobody designs for.

The food is ready. The guest is waiting. But somewhere between the kitchen and their hands, things go sideways.

Wrong order went to the wrong guest. (Who is right to be frustrated.)

That gap — the one between order ready and order in hand — is where the promise of a great guest experience falls apart.

It's also where most operators have just learned to live.

It doesn't have to be that way. We’ll show you how: https://hubs.la/Q04fPSbJ0

The lunch rush hits. Orders are stacking and your staff is doing three jobs at once — making food, managing the counter, and figuring out which bag belongs to which guest.

Wasn't this the moment digital ordering was supposed to fix?

For most operations, it made it worse.

Pickup chaos. Solved.

See you in Chicago.

110+ orders an hour. Dozens of wrong pickups daily. Food sitting out for 90 minutes.

Case Western Reserve University dining didn't patch the problem. They fixed the handoff.

Apex automated locker solutions went into The Den in under two hours, fully integrated with their existing systems. Students scan, door opens, order retrieved.

No lines, mix-ups, or missing orders. And they're already planning what's next.

That's smart operations.

Full story:

As Case Western Reserve University students returned from spring break and poured into The Den by Denny’s for their usual late-night meals, they were greeted by a new addition to the space: lockers.   Delivered and installed on March 12, the Apex lockers now serve as the new pickup system for stu...

The pickup counter is still one of the most chaotic moments in foodservice.

Staff calling names, drivers cutting the line, orders missing after ready alerts were sent.

Kiosk Marketplace gets into all the details.

Smart pickup lockers are helping address one of the key points (and cost issues) in restaurant operations. Additionally, their success is opening the door to expansion beyond traditional restaurant settings.

Campus dining moves fast. But students move faster.

At Youngstown State University the bottleneck wasn’t the food. It was the wait. Remove that friction, and suddenly everyone’s day has a little more room in it.
