Boss just gave me a sales job - Our Vendor is giving away 3 months of Online ordering , Take out and Delivery for free with a contract signed for 1 year minimum at 50 / month to get them through this pandemic crisis. and all restaurants shutting down their dining rooms.
So you're calling places trying to get them to switch?
Inside Sales, Calling existing customers, offering the service to enhance customer care and comfort by Online Order for free for 3 months. Cause a lot of these places dont have that, and that's why they're getting beat out by people who do.
Eveyrone in the industry is doing it sadly. Door Dash, grub Hub? doing it.,oh.. missed what it was exactly... Online ordering.. got it... Once they sign up, then they have to build the menu, though perhaps much of that will happen automatically because they are using the system.

helping my brother navigate the unemployment website. His major chain restaurant announced very abruptly yesterday they were fully closing (no takeout/delivery) and he's been "furloughed" until further notice. No vacation time, no severance, last paycheck is in the mail yada yada yada.
Here's another organization that's giving some relief:

That's not how that works.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019#Terminology
The World Health Organization announced on 11 February 2020 that "COVID-19" would be the official name of the disease. World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said "co" stands for "corona", "vi" for "virus" and "d" for "disease", while "19" was for the year, as the outbreak was first identified on 31 December 2019. Tedros said the name had been chosen to avoid references to a specific geographical location (i.e. China), animal species, or group of people in line with international recommendations for naming aimed at preventing stigmatisation.

Back from shopping in one of the largest wholesale markets in the area

@thwr that's not really surprising, people are in a hoarding phase, they don't want to go out repeatedly so they buy in bulk once for everything they could need.

Absolutely, people who purchase 6 packs of toilet paper for example. Who the hell needs so much TP
-
Most supermarkets have ran out of Toliet roll, Meat, Bread and milk. Most shelves are empty due to people panic buying. These people are so selfish.
-
What's out here is mostly toilet paper, disinfectant sprays and liquids, puréed tomatoes in cans, noodles, flour and formula milk. I've seen people buying 30kg flour - and most of them looked like they didn't even know how to make a bread

Still setting up laptops so people can work from home

Our Office just switched to Remote Work except for patch day. So naturally, I'm at work today, lol... Just got lunch after a long ass meeting.
