Booker links with Just Eat couriers for Scoot-ordered grocery deliveries

Booker has announced the national rollout of a last-mile delivery partnership between Scoot and Just Eat.

The service will give Booker’s symbol retailers – Premier, Budgens, Londis and Family Shopper – the option to offer fast grocery deliveries without needing to manage their own fleet or drivers.

Shoppers place orders via the Booker-owned Scoot app, and deliveries are fulfilled by Just Eat’s courier network.

The first store, Budgens Buckingham Park in Aylesbury, went live with the service on 4 September, and this will be followed by 10 more stores by the end of the month in Scotland, England and Wales.

Colm Johnson, retail managing director at Booker, said: “We’ve developed this solution with our retailers in mind. 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 retailer and their customers.”
