In a time when connecting with family is difficult, or illegal, the extension of Melbourne’s stage four lockdown rules means thousands of people across Victoria will have to wait even longer to see their friends and family.
However, one Melbourne-based pizza company has found a Covid-safe solution that is enabling people from anywhere in Australia to connect face-to-face via a new face-time pizza delivery service.
Bubba Pizza’s innovative proxy service places one family member’s face on an iPad connected to a delivery driver’s helmet, allowing them to deliver a pizza to their loved-ones in lockdown.
While many businesses were forced to close due to stage 4 restrictions, pizza delivery has remained an essential service for Melbournians looking to take a night off cooking.
“This new service is a way to use our status as an essential service to give the people of Melbourne something even more essential – a bit of a laugh, a pizza and a few smiles during what is a challenging time” said Damian Hopper, managing director of Bubba Pizza.
“We are truly humbled by the continued support that our customers have given us during what’s been a challenging period for small businesses. This face-time delivery service is our chance to say thank you and give something back to the community by making the rest of lockdown a little better.
“Bubba Pizza has 15 stores across metropolitan Melbourne offering contactless delivery services so there’s an opportunity to bring a lot of joy to many Melbournians who are missing their family and friends in lock-down.”
The opportunity is available until the end of Melbourne’s stage four lockdown restrictions.
Customers (from anywhere in Australia) simply need to get in touch via www.bubbapizza.com.au/contact-us and tell Bubba why their loved one in Melbourne deserves a face-time delivery.
