Booker has revealed more details about Scoot, its newly launched grocery delivery platform, at the first of its two annual trade shows last week.

Leaflets given out re­vealed stores opting for the service will pay a £395 set-up fee. In return they’ll receive point-of-sale mate­rial, a contribution to vehicle branding costs, social media adverts, a hand-held terminal for order processing, ther­mal delivery bags, in-store radio advertising and exclusive deals.

Booker’s head of home delivery, Damien Sander­son, told Better Retailing that Scoot has received “such posi­tive feedback” as well as “many retailers enquir­ing how they can join Scoot, with most not cur­rently offering delivery services”.

Sanderson said Scoot will be “onboarding more retailers to launch across April and May”.

Booker’s plans to help retailers grow Scoot grocery delivery sales

The leaflets also show Booker has dedicated a business development manager to working with its symbol retailers that opt for the service on “a plan that will help you grow sales to £5,000”.

Last week also saw the first store in Scotland and the first Premier go live on the platform, Linktown Local in Fife.

The store also works with Flash Delivery. The launch had goods on sale for as little as a penny.

Owner Faraz Iqbal told Better Retailing: “I’m pleased with it, the support’s been good, it’s been easy to get up and running, and it’s gone very well so far.”
