Box’d, Toronto’s First Fully Automated Restaurant Launches Mid-Pandemic. Will This Be The Future of Restaurants?

As a result of Covid-19’s social distancing restraints, the food industry has been forced to implement innovative efficiencies in their production and reopening which adhere to society’s current food safety fears.

Mohamed Fakih, owner of Paramount Fine Foods, opened Box’d, Toronto’s first fully automated restaurant adapting to the current changes that we are facing due to Covid-19.  “Being fully automated means Box’d can offer Canadians a new and exciting ‘smart’ way to experience eating out safely,” said Ahmed Daify , Box’d franchisee.

“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many Torontonians chose to cook their meals at home, but as the restrictions ease and more businesses open people are looking forward to eating out. We understand that people may still be a little wary of public places, so we have created a dining option that is fast, efficient, and safe,” Said Mohamad Fakih, owner of Box’d.

How it works:

You order your meal through their website, or using their in-house digital kiosk, and once it is ready, you pick it up from separated sanitized cubbies. When your order is ready, your name and cubby number will pop up on the screen indicating where to retrieve your meal. All one has to do is double tap their cubby and their meal will be sitting there, packed and ready to devour.

“The state-of-the-art technology used throughout Box’d will revolutionize and transform how consumers experience dining on-the-go and will help our guests feel safe…With one chef per meal, all meals are sealed and delivered to sanitized, individual cubbies which simplifies the process and keeps cleanliness and safety top of mind,” said Chef Tomer Markovitz.

Words Lead Actions: Social Distancing or Physical Distancing

Companies and Business across Toronto are getting ready to “open for business” in the weeks ahead subject to the mandates from the Province.  We wanted to share some information on one of the best “get ready for business under our new norm” Webinars our firm has participated in to date.

Social distancing or physical distancing: What’s the difference and which is best?

As we’re living the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been covering our mouths, washing our hands and practicing “social distancing.” But the conversation is shifting from “social distancing” towards “physical distancing.”

Why? Because of the unseen impact of social distancing and isolation on our mental health and emotional wellbeing. Knowing the difference can help us improve our mental health during these unprecedented times.

Social distancing vs. physical distancing

In the current context, social distancing refers to staying at least 6 feet away from people to help avoid getting sick and “flatten the curve” in the spread of COVID-19.

While “social distancing” is still widely used, it may be sending the wrong message and contributing to social isolation.

Rather than sounding like you have to socially separate from your family and friends, ‘physical distancing’ simplifies the concept with the emphasis on keeping 6 feet away from others.

We’re fortunate to be in the age of technology where connecting instantly with someone on the other side of the country is possible. During times like this – of quarantine and isolation – it’s important we stay connected virtually with the people in our lives.

Staying in touch with people feeds the human connection we all need to thrive daily, but physical distance is vital to slowing down the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
