Cannabis stores across the U.S. including in Michigan are working to reassign employees to new tasks to cope with a rush of online orders and curbside deliveries amid the coronavirus pandemic.
They’re also considering how the current environment might permanently affect the way consumers purchase marijuana and how businesses might plan for that in the future.
The good news is the expense to implement online ordering isn’t prohibitive, according to some cannabis retailers.
Here are measures marijuana shops are implementing to help the service go smoothly:
- Putting in place a dedicated team that fulfills online orders.
- In states where curbside pickup or delivery is prohibited, limiting the number of customers that can enter the store at one time to gather their products.
- Strongly encouraging customers to pick up orders promptly.
