curbside service

Parking lot retrieval

Curbside service is a retail or restaurant arrangement where customers order ahead and have their purchases brought to their vehicle in the parking lot.

The customer stays in the car while staff delivers the goods: The pharmacy offers curbside service for prescription pickups.

The practice surged during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to minimize contact.
