Arrival flow falls apart at 10am
A shopper waiting 15 minutes in the parking lot leaves a 1-star Google Review. Staff juggling Square / Clover / Lightspeed POS and curbside runners drop the ball.
Failed pickups, refunds, negative Google Reviews

The Problem
Parking-spot SMS forms are clunky
Custom SMS short-codes for parking spot + license plate feel like 2018. Shoppers expect a voice or chat to handle it — not a form.
Lower curbside adoption, more abandoned pickups
BOPIS and curbside windows aren't consistently enforced
Shopify POS, Square for Retail, Clover, Lightspeed all model pickup windows differently. Customers show up outside the window and staff scrambles.
Operational chaos, wasted runner trips
Reminder timing competes with Klaviyo and Attentive
Klaviyo + Attentive + Postscript pickup reminders double-text shoppers because they don't know the order is curbside vs. ship-to-home. AI coordinates messaging to avoid spam.
Unsubscribe spikes, lower deliverability, missed pickups
