Use SMS Text for efficient Curbside Pickup Alert Service
Like many business owners and customers, we are adjusting to the new reality of social distancing and curbside pickup! Almost all restaurants and businesses across the U.S. have experienced impacts and restrictions of some kind due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Curbside Pickup Alerts, also called Curbside Arrival Alerts, are keeping restaurant staff and customers safe.
We feel for all the small business owners who had to leap into resiliency and survival mode, or temporarily close. We immediately responded to emphasize many of our existing contact-free options for clients of our loyalty and SMS Text marketing programs. Related: The Brave New World of Social Distancing Many businesses of all types and sizes want to continue to serve customers, however, they now experience service bottlenecks once they have implemented a Curbside Pickup Service option.
Let us create a custom text solution and message flow for your business to streamline operations. Our Curbside Arrival Alerts will make your operation run smoothly.

Mobile High 5 has implemented a Live Stream InBox, so you can view text alerts when a customer arrives for pickup. Stream the inbox on a tablet, laptop or TV screen.

Curbside Pickup alert - A More Efficient Curbside Pickup process
1) Order Placed
Provide the customer with a reference identifier for their order, say order number & last name. Tell them the instructions to text in when they arrive.
2) Customer Arrival
Customer texts a keyword (for example, CURBSIDE) to a dedicated toll-free number. They receive an Automatic Response requesting their Order ID (for example their first and last name and color, make of car – whatever you need to accurately identify customer). Their response & mobile number show up instantly in your Live Stream Inbox!
We can set up an automatic reply to acknowledge their arrival and/or you can respond with 2-way text with an individualized response regarding the status of their order.
3) Order Delivery
An associate delivers the order to the customer in their vehicle. Move the arrival messages to a completed folder to keep the stream clean with new arrival messages.
One advantage to our Curbside Pickup Solution is that you will not need to tie up your existing take out line to deal with customers arriving for pickup orders. Also, we can Set Up Your Business Line(s) for SMS Text Capability or acquire a new number for you.
