Why Automate?

Customers who order takeout or delivery drivers who need to pick them up both appreciate a fast pickup experience. Filled up parking spots and long pickup lines can deter customers who plan to dine in. Automation allows customers and drivers to pick up orders curbside, without ever having to get out of their vehicle. Orders are fast to load and food is kept warm (or cold) with temperature-controlled zones. AerNodes are easy to integrate into a restaurant's existing takeout process with installation and training taking only 24-48 hours.

Using an AerNode makes the pickup process effortless for customers. They do not have to sign up for an account to pick up an order: they will be texted a PIN to use at the Aernode. This PIN corresponds to their specific order, so there will be no more order mix-ups. We provide APIs that let more advanced users fully customize the customer experience. Their your customer, not ours.

The AerNode's modular design makes it easy to expand storage as needed by adding new storage units. In the advent of drone delivery, restaurants with an AerNode will be the first to leverage this cutting-edge technology. AerNodes are a perfect choice for any restaurant.

How It Works

Define your needs.

What are your package capacity requirements? How important Is package retrieval time? Would you like to integrate drones or rovers in the future?

Find a location.

The AerNode can be installed indoors or outdoors. The AerNode must be placed on a solid level surface. Make sure you can run power and data to the AerNode.

Configure your AerNode.

Once you know what you need and where you will place the AerNode, design yours online using our Configurator. See how different options affect the price, capacity, and performance in real-time.

Preorder your AerNode.

Pre-order your AerNode by placing a small refundable deposit. You do not have to configure your AerNode before preordering and we can help you with the configuration process.

Get Ready!

When we approach your spot in line, we'll send you relevant documents and the ability to select an installation date. You or an authorized employee must be present during installation.

Our extensive collection of APIs allows you and delivery platforms to deeply integrate with the AerNode. For example, we can use driver location data to queue up orders and minimize order retrieval times.

OVER-THE-AIR UPDATES

Our team is constantly adding new software functionality to the AerNode. In fact, we often put extra hardware in the AerNode that we don't plan to use until later. We stay ahead of the curve so you will too.
