How it works on Bolt Food / Bolt Market

From the machine's stock to a Bolt Food / Bolt Market order, automatically.

Bolt Food covers Poland, Portugal, Czechia, Romania, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Malta, Cyprus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kenya and Ghana. PickVend connects through Bolt's Delivery Provider POS API as a two-way, tablet-less integration.

Bolt is the one platform with a native pickup-confirmation code: when PickVend marks the order ready it passes the machine code, and the courier sees it in the Bolt Courier app. Bolt Market additionally supports partial fulfilment with automatic refunds, which maps well to a machine that fails to dispense one item.

Bolt requires a response within a city-dependent window and deactivates stores that do not answer; PickVend answers within seconds and keeps availability current through Bolt's update channel (menu publishing itself is limited to 25 per day).

WHAT YOU DO

PLATFORM TIMELINE

COURIER PICKUP
