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.

Most of Canada’s housing market likely to be fertile ground for bidding wars in 2020

Looking for a home to buy in 2020? You may find lots of competition and not a lot to choose from.

Canadians hoping to buy a house in 2020 better brace themselves for limited choice and plenty of competition, the latest housing market data suggests.

While conditions remain ho-hum in the Prairies and Newfoundland and Labrador, in the rest of the country, there are plenty of buyers and not much for sale.

A lack of housing supply would be “the story” for 2020, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) warned in its housing market forecast in mid-December.

The latest national statistics, released by CREA Jan. 15, seemed to confirm the trend. The number of existing homes available for purchases was at a 12-year low in December, the association said.

The issue has been long in the making, according to CREA senior economist Shaun Cathcart.

The Best of Bloor West Living

The Building

Constructed by renowned builder Tridel, One Old Mill is a touch of modern elegance in the classic and quaint neighbourhood of Bloor West Village. The condo is ideal for young professionals, new families, and older couples looking to downsize.

The 12 storey, 278 unit structure was completed in late 2014, and has provided the area with a much needed luxury condominium option. The south side of the building fronts on Bloor Street west, while the north side looks over the greenery of the Humber River Trail, making the building a sort of gateway between activity and serenity.

Bloor West Village

Bloor West Village is one of the last communities in Toronto with a small town feel. Dozens of fantastic shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment are just steps away from the building. On weekends, Bloor Street is filled with pedestrians roaming the shops and fruit markets.
