Click and Collect
Buddi is one of several e-comm providers that offer an online click-and-collect services that are worth checking out if you are interested in exploring all your options especially for a long term click and collect service.
95% of cannabis retail revenue occurs in the store. This is one of the reasons why BudSense is dedicated to building the best in-store cannabis menu platform on the market. But this blog isn’t about BudSense, it’s about getting curbside pick up and running as a primary revenue source during lockdowns and Buddi and others are a viable option!
If you don’t plan on using Buddi long term it’s possible to complete a curbside pick-up program by using only a phone, Budsense’s paper menu feature, and your POS to process card payments.
If you’re already using Buddi or another e-comm provider there might be some ideas here that help enhance your customer communication and overall click-and-collect offering.

Curbside Pick-Up Menu Example
There are several different ways to create a curbside pick-up menu check out flow. We put together an example but the options in BudSense are flexible to meet your specific needs. Pick and choose some of the features we used here to make it your own.
Our example takes a few favorite items from most of the popular cannabis categories. Flower, Bulk Flower, Pre-Rolls, Vape Cartridges, and Edibles. This example is intended to be handed out to customers outside, posted on your store exterior, or hosted on your website depending on your plan and the municipal guidelines around your specific lockdown.
You could choose to shorten your available menu for curbside pick-up or use this as a preview for a full menu hosted online- accessed by a QR code. You could even post a full menu on the exterior of your building. Whatever works!
Building Your Curbside Pick-Up Menu
Navigate to the ‘Menus Tab’, select ‘Print’ menus, ‘Create Product Menu’, and select your theme. Fill up your menu with all the products you wish to highlight, add in a QR code to your website, and you’re good to go.
We used all three BudSense ‘Section Type’ options to create our example menu.
