Brodburger hits the road offering home delivery
Posted on
It started as a charming little red caravan in Kingston’s Bowen Park—now Canberra icon Brodburger is going back to its travelling roots as it responds to the COVID-19 crisis.
Canberra’s hospitality industry is doing it tough in light of recent restrictions imposed on venues in a bid to combat the outbreak of COVID-19. But rather than wave the white flag, we’re seeing many businesses think outside the square to find ways to keep operating.
Local burger icon Brodburger is the latest to announce they’re getting innovative with their approach to feeding the people of Canberra.
Kicking off at lunchtime today at their Kingston outlet, Brodburger will be offering home delivery to those who live within a 6-kilometre radius of the store, via their online ordering application.
“We wanted to control our home delivery service by our team, and not via third party, to ensure we keep our staff employed during this tough time,” says co-owner Joelle Brodbeck.
“But it also means we can better control the hygiene and sanitation of the burgers during their transport, as well as maintain the quality of the food as a whole.”
The app is an extension of their already successful online ordering platform, created by technology innovation company, Datapos.
“Datapos have been working really closely with us to get this up and running as quickly as possible since the developments last week. They have been amazing and are looking at facilitating more local businesses onto a similar online ordering platform over the coming weeks,” explains Joelle.
Additionally, home delivery will soon be available to those who live within 6-kilometres of Brodburger’s new Dickson location at Coop at Soho.
“We’re looking at having home delivery ready for when we open in Dickson this Thursday, but it may take us a little longer … we’re working as quickly as we can and will keep our customers updated via social media.”
Customers can still pre-order online and pick up their favourite burgers from Kingston and Dickson. While the venues themselves have closed, the team have set up temporary windows from which customers can grab their food, without contact with staff. Extra sanitisation measures have also been put in place.
“We still really encourage people to order online for pick-up if able and feeling well. You’ll also know if you aren’t eligible for home delivery from the outset, because the app will tell you,” says Joelle.
“We are even working on creating a drive-through contactless pick-up system, which we can provide more details on very soon.”
Brodburger at the Capital Brewing Co Taproom in Fyshwick is temporarily closed, but customers can still get their Capital fix from Brodburger Kingston.
“We will have all the core range of beers and specialty crowlers freshly filled from the Brewery. We’re just working with liquor licensing and Capital Brewing on extending that to takeaway orders as soon as possible,” says Brodbeck.
