Boxpark posts record growth in delivery sales
The Boxpark retail, dining and leisure concept saw record food delivery sales growth in 2021, with total revenue up by over 100% across the estate.
Its sites in Croydon and Wembley showed particular strength, although Shoreditch was impacted by a lack of local office workers due to the Covid-19 pandemic and more people working from home.
During the year, Boxpark’s food and beverage traders processed over over 500,000 orders and delivery revenue doubled across its three London locations, rising from £4.7 million to £9.5 million between 2019 and 2021.
On entering the first lockdown, Boxpark helped the traders to optimise their technology and delivery systems to ensure they had visibility across a range of delivery platforms including UberEats, Deliveroo and JustEat. Dan Fullarton, head of new business & partnerships at Boxpark, said: “Deliveries have been a helpful boost for our food traders and restaurants throughout the pandemic. As we work with many small and independent businesses, it was crucial to ensure they had all the tools, resources and support to survive during the lockdown and we were delighted to help our traders with their delivery integration. It is incredibly reassuring to see such positive figures from our traders’ delivery revenue and we are proud to be a platform for these fast-growing food businesses.”
