A sales window with a custom-built POS ordering system and Tech support
During the pandemic, we invested in a custom ordering system to support our vendors.
This system allows each vendor to sell directly from the commissary.
In addition, KBM Seattle’s website supports each company that opts to sell directly from the window.
Your information is placed here on the Vendor’s page which highlights your company and showcases your specialties.
This page can also link to your website and online ordering platform. This is intended to facilitate internet sales for walk-up orders.
When the customer arrives, they go to your banner and press the “Arrival” button, this rings your handset and allows direct voice communication. Should a customer arrive without having placed an order online first, each banner has a QR code on it to direct the customer to your website. This system can be used by individuals or any of the food delivery companies.
