Challenges I needed to solve
How do I orchestrate contact free pick-up?
Steven's vision of a contact-free pick-up option for his food services needed to be easy and quick for his customers. How could he alert his team when a customer arrived and get the food out to the guest in a timely fashion? SMS was going to be the logical choice.
The tools that solved my challenges
Send SMS Messages
Steven configured an SMS notification to go out when someone clicked a button from the email saying "I am outside now. This sent Steven's team a notification alerting them of the contact that was ready, their meal, and other helpful information.
Results
Using PlusThis SMS Notifications, Steven was able to create a wow experience for his customers by giving them a user-friendly way to alert Elizabethan Catering services when they were outside and ready to pick up their meal with contactless delivery.
