Sandwich and coffee specialist Pret A Manger has launched a click-and-collect service from five of its London stores.

With many of its customers working from home due to the coronavirus crisis, Pret has partnered with Deliveroo to allow customers to order food and coffee through the app and collect from five of its London locations.

The convenience food retailer said that it was “currently testing different points in shops for pick up”, including a “hatch system” so customers will not need to enter the shop they are collecting their order from.

The five stores offering the trial service are located in Aldgate, Hammersmith, Kingston, Putney and Stratford.

Pret digital transformation director Alex Chisholm said: “As more of our customers change their daily routines, we’ve been looking at how Pret can meet their needs.

“Click and collect is a great way of offering a fast, contact-free service for our freshly made food and we look forward to making it available to more customers in the coming months.”

Pret said it aimed to extend the trial to more of its stores over the coming months.
