During the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses large and small have been learning to navigate unprecedented challenges on a daily basis. Keeping employees safe while serving customers’ needs has been a critical concern for most businesses. Many businesses including restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, coffee shops, liquor stores, and a variety of retail stores, have introduced curbside pickup. This effectively limits interactions between shoppers and employees while allowing businesses to stay open to the public. Take your operation to the next level with a set of walkie talkies to improve curbside pickups & streamline the process for employees and customers alike.
