Fresh Food markets
April 2, 2020
COVID-19 PIVOT (COVOT)
Fresh food markets have taken a big hit from the pandemic. With strict social distancing measures in place, this makes it impossible for normally bustling markets to operate, and most have been temporarily closed as a result.
Possible COVOTS
- Move brick and mortar stalls online, allowing shoppers to browse and purchase from their homes
- Communicate with stallholders to arrange a single, unified delivery system for the whole market. This reduces the number of vehicles on the road and allows all stallholders to still get their product delivered
- Set up a drive-through collection system, allowing customers to pickup their orders in their vehicles without human contact
- Communicate with larger stores or supermarkets who may be looking to stock additional products during this period
