Restaurants and food-fast chains alike have created innovative ways to keep businesses going during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Because of this, dining out safely has never been more important, with more people preferring to order and eat at home.

Parking at the designated area, a menu is brought to the customer. You then place your order in the comfort of your car and the food is brought to you to enjoy.
