12 benefits The Yummy Box Can Provide Your Business1. American Eco-friendly Tech label for your restaurant - Beyond our technology (app & smart locks), the unit itself is the first locker of its kind made of sustainable materials such as salt, petroleum, Polywood, and chlorine. The benefit to you is you can attract a new demographic of customers that care about eco-friendly businesses. Plus, market this differentiation with news outlets, and be ahead of the global shift towards sustainable restaurants. 2. The Yummy Box is 40-60% more cost-effective than other smart lockers. You pay what we pay on hardware and shipping - no markup. Regular Smart Food Lockers cost between $5,000-15,000 more than They Yummy Box + the additional software and integration fees. 3. SMS capabilities - the average open rate of text messages is 90%. Our patented technology lets your customers communicate with your restaurant via text while updating pick-up status. All other systems only send notifications, and do not allow two-way communication or update pick-up statuses. Benefit - provides excellent customer service by leveraging technology and better management of your entire to-go operation on one-screen as you grow. 4. $10 or less power cost per year.

At 0.50 per order you would only need 16 orders per day. The average is 32. In closing: A key design element for The Yummy Box is sustainability. Apex and others come with one set of standard hardware and generally can't upgrade it. Maybe you can make some software tweaks, but once it rolls out of the assembly plant, you are stuck with what you got. The Yummy Box, on the other hand, is upgradable. The lockers will survive many generations of smart access technology and software advancements. This means that a year from now, you are not stuck with an old piece of hardware as the restaurant industry continues to evolve. Plus, you have actual input on what software upgrades we roll out next. 80% of our technological advancements came from feedback from real customers and restaurant owners, not from us wanting profit, but to add value worth paying for.

How's The Yummy Box better than food deliver?We can not say that we're better, what we can say is we offer different value to restaurants that may be more profitable for them. For example, when restaurants serve food in their store, their margins are up to 69% of the total check and reduced to 39% for the same order via a third-party app. On average, restaurants pay third-party delivery apps 10 to 25% on each order. Also, restaurants lose control over valuable customer data. The Yummy Box is designed to free restaurant operators from the old model of having to staff takeout counters and help them use technology to improve their digital strategy. Our technology makes takeout a more attractive offer because it's a consistent and convenient experience for time-starved customers. The Yummy Box also makes it easier for companies like UberEats, DoorDash, and GrubHub to pickup delivery orders from restaurants.

Is The Yummy Box Insulated?Version 3 is not heated, cooled, or ambient controlled. To support our green agenda for keeping restaurant owners' power costs of The Yummy Box below $10 a year and better cater to a wide range of food & beverage temperatures, we substituted heating and cooling controls with insulation. Each compartment is lined with Cross-linked Polyethylene similar to Maersk shipping containers, pizza bags, and Amazon grocery delivery. Orders placed inside The Yummy Box will remain fresher than if left on a counter or shelve in ambient temperatures and receive better temperature accommodations than if placed in a hot compartment that has hot and cold food/beverages or vice-versa. Our data show that the average customers pick up their orders from restaurants within 12 minutes. We adhere to the Food Safety Temperatures. As a general rule, it is recommended foods enter their proper temperature zones within 2 hours (1 hour and 48 minutes above the average pickup time). For cold foods, the food-safe temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit and below. For hot foods, the safe temperature is above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The Yummy Box has maintained the proper temperatures of over 4000 orders, and we have one criticism after a customer arrived 78 minutes after she placed her order. To accommodate mixed temperates inside of one compartment, we encourage Temperature Isolation. For example, a standard to-go container should be tied in a plastic bag, placed in the back of the compartment, and a cold drink placed in the front. We've witnessed our partners use newer technology to develop to-go packaging that's better insulated to support off-premises consumption. Some tech-forward restaurants are using triple-layer packaging to keep food warm or cold and traveling from the restaurant. This triple-layer packaging consists of black to-go containers, foil, and black plastic bags. This type of packaging, along with our insulated boxes, keeps the food warm and fresh. We are incredibly confident that food items placed inside The Yummy Box can match or beat the temperatures of food items delivered to customers by food delivery services. After experiencing the success of triple-layer packaging combined with our insulated boxes, we recommend restaurants to adopt to-go containers that not only preserve food at desired temperatures but travel better for takeout and delivery.

Does the doors of your Simplifed Smart Lock open and close automatically?Having doors that automatically open is something we favor and have communicated to our smart lock partner. Since COVID-19, they've developed new NFC enabled smart locks similar to Apple Pay; the challenge is that it requires the use of smart cards for access, which doesn't complement The Yummy Box technology or process. The Yummy Box doors can be quickly closed with a single finger, elbow, or even a hip bump. On Version 3, we removed the soft-close latches to make this happen. The closing of the doors sounds like a refrigerator closing.
-
Do they have smart locks that require no physical keypad?Removing locks will require us to redesign our hardware to add wiring and other technological components. This is what makes us different.

Also, with easily interchangeable parts, we can upgrade The Yummy Box with the latest technology trends and ensure your system is technician-free for easy upkeep and maintenance.
-
Is there a way for us to streamline the look of the storage box itself and make it more minimalist with a hidden/flat-planed lock?The good news is there's a more minimalist new smart lock available with a slim design and a powered latch that automatically unlocks. There is a price increase for the new electronic locks, which is understandable since it unlocks automatically. This would increase the total cost by an estimated $1,000 (lock and instal). Although the results are the same as our current electronic lock, I personally like the chic design and how the latch automatically unlocks.

Stripe Mobile PaymentsThe Yummy Box application uses Stripe Connect Standard to process your customer’s mobile payments. Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge. Regular ACH deposits take 2 business days. Stipe charges $0.25 per payout (deposit). Instant payouts arrive in minutes and cost 1.5% (minimum of $0.50). clevtech charges $0.00 to process payments or payout. When you start processing live payments from your customers with Stripe, you will not receive your first payout until 7–10 days after your first successful payment is received. The first payout usually takes a little longer in order to establish the Stripe account. Subsequent payouts are then processed according to your account’s payout schedule. By default, Stripe automatically creates payouts of your available account balance based on the schedule specified in the Dashboard. The schedule used is dependent on your country and whether your business operates in a higher-risk industry.
