Wait by Kuusoft Powers Social Distancing and Contact Tracing in Cowichan Valley for a Safe Holiday Season


Wait by Kuusoft supports local businesses to improve customer experience and enhance business performance. Stay safe, stay strong. With its cost-effective and easy-to-use application, Wait is here to witness a strong business economy on the rise during this winter.

It has been difficult for businesses big and small, especially heading into the winter holiday season. Many have been trying to balance between customer service and COVID-19 restrictions. Besides the physical distance, limited capacity, and indoor mask protocols, businesses must keep a record of all visitors and customers for at least 30 days in an effort of contact tracing. As a result, business owners face more challenges keeping up with COVID-19 regulations while fearing a declined customers’ experience given the cold and rainy weather.

Community Futures Cowichan, along with local chambers of commerce, Tourism Cowichan, and business improvement associations, have partnered with Kuusoft to provide local businesses access to the Wait Queue Management System, considered the most cost-effective and safest way for retailers to automate lineups during COVID-19 with built-in contact tracing. Furthermore, Community Futures Cowichan assessed funding from Western Economic Diversifications Rural Opportunities Fund to help cover the cost for businesses who could benefit from using this Wait queue management technology.

For businesses that want an easier way to control traffic flow in-store and manage contact tracing, all they need to do is to create a new account with Kuusoft and register for a code for their business. Then, print out the pre-designed Wait Open Sign and display it on the storefront. Owners and managers can also easily monitor the Wait system on any smart device.

For customers, the Wait app is free to use forever. The web app not only frees customers from physically waiting in line, but it also helps manage customer expectations on wait time. Meanwhile, if customers have ever crossed paths with a confirmed COVID-19 case, they will be notified to quarantine.

“Customer-service sector in the Cowichan region is a significant player in the local economy,” said Cathy Robertson, General Manager of Community Futures Cowichan. “Partnering with Kuusoft is a win-win; businesses who are struggling because of COVID can get the support they need, and customers can safely and efficiently visit their favorite stores and service providers.”

  • Restaurants, cafes, pubs – with patio/walk-up services.
