Corner Bakery reinvents curbside

December 10, 2020

Corner Bakery said it is launching an improved curbside pickup program that uses auto identification to get food to awaiting vehicles faster, a news release said.

Now, when guests select curbside pickup while placing an online order through cornerbakery.com, they will be prompted to enter their vehicle information, so that their food can safely be delivered straight to their cars.

In fact, when orders are completed at the stores, guests now get a text with directions to the cafe, as well as where to park there and where to call when they arrive. As an added bonus, select Corner Bakery locations are offering guests $5 off $15 on any online curbside pickup order through Dec. 13. Finally, through Dec. 31, any customer can get a free any-sized coffee at the chain.

"In order to adapt and accommodate the shift to online ordering for pickup during the pandemic, we've developed an efficient curbside pickup process with consumer safety and convenience in mind," Donna Josephson, senior VP and CMO, said in the release. "We look forward to serving guests their freshly-prepared Corner Bakery favorites to enjoy wherever they're most comfortable."

Corner Bakery now has nearly 200 stores in 23 states and Washington, D.C.
