Coles 1st CFC amazing facilities23 Sep 2024 05:36
Tapping into the appetite for customers to create restaurant-quality meals at home, the CFC will house a range of specialty brands and local foods from smaller suppliers like Lello Pasta, the former Flinders Lane restaurateurs turned Italian product providores.
The extended product ranges also span the health and dietary, vitamin and baby categories – with a wider selection of brands and products designed to support the growing needs of customers.
There is an on-site bakery which will bake to order twice a day, and a fresh produce area where produce is cut and packaged to order, leading to less wastage.
Customers will also have the choice of extended delivery windows from 5am to 10pm, with later cut-offs for both next day deliveries in the morning and evening.
The state-of-the-art site features a centralised hub, known as ‘The Hive’, where a fleet of more than 700 bots will fulfill a customer order containing 50 items in just five minutes, while an artificial intelligence ‘air traffic’ control system will oversee the bots as they move around giant 3D grids, transporting containers of grocery items to be packed and delivered by Coles team members.
