Grocery store restrooms are targets for theft, vandalism, and abuse. Installing Good2Go is the solution.
Customer-facing restrooms are an essential resource for shoppers and a key aspect of the in-store experience. In fact, the quality of a restroom directly impacts a customer’s perception of a brand. Unfortunately, grocery store restrooms have become easy targets for criminal activity that puts staff and customer safety at risk. That’s why when it comes to mitigating restroom abuse, there needs to be an easy-win solution that provides customers with frictionless access while ensuring safety of everyone.
Enter Good2Go—the only secure, automated access solution that lets customers use their smartphone to access store restrooms—without burdening frontline associates—and deterring bad actors with digital footprint technology. In this Q&A, discover how Good2Go’s mobile access platform overcomes restroom abuse with smart, secure, and seamless QR code and web-app technology and how easy it is to integrate into your business.
Q: What challenge is Good2Go solving?
Most US cities have inadequate public restroom facilities. As a result, businesses, like grocers, bear the burden of providing restroom access not only for their customers, but for the general population. Providing this access is expensive and labor intensive. Restrooms are in-store blind spots where traditional loss prevention tools like cameras cannot be used to deter misuse like vandalism, theft and drug related incidents. This type of abuse is common and significantly adds to the overall cost of day-to-day operations and maintenance, and creates undesirable and unsafe conditions for both customers and staff. Good2Go offers a solution that reduces burdens for grocers and simultaneously improves safety while attracting and retaining customers.
Good2Go positively addresses all of the following:
Labor: The system is completely automated; it requires no keys or punch-codes to keep track of, or staff to grant (or deny) access. Now instead of managing access, frontline associates can refocus on their core responsibilities, like customer service. Additionally, Good2Go’s digital footprint deters bad actors, resulting in improved restroom and dressing room conditions that ensures job safety and satisfaction.
Reduce Expenses: Automating access with smart, mobile access technology assures accountability and mitigates costly misuse. Our data shows an immediate and significant ROI; preventing just one incident covers the cost of a monthly subscription. Additionally, there are dramatic cost reductions in supplies, repairs, maintenance, and uniformed security.
Brand value: Damage to brand reputation can be devastating and extremely difficult to overcome. Conversely, consumer data demonstrates that brands with a reputation for clean, safe restrooms are favored by consumers and result in higher sales and strong brand loyalty.
Q: How is Good2Go more secure than keys and punch codes?
For businesses that need to maintain security, relying on key and punch code management is not a reliable or secure option. Keys can easily be stolen or duplicated. PINs can be shared multiple times and it becomes impossible to determine accountability. Alternatively, using Good2Go’s mobile pass offers a unique and one-time credential that cannot be shared and can be tracked to the user.
Q: What to expect when installing?
A quick one-day installation. Good2Go’s secure QR code technology operates like any other QR code in the store—the customer is directed to a web-app where they receive a mobile pass via cellular connection or WiFi. The hardware validates the mobile pass locally and can be installed on existing doors for single-stall or multi-stall restrooms. Good2Go can also be installed on dressing rooms and locked merchandise. It’s safe, convenient and frictionless. In addition, customers love the “magical” touchless experience that comes with the automatic door feature set. Grocers can also gain valuable data for volume and timing of restroom usage that includes total scans by hour, day and month.
