Social distancing poses new problems for retail stores, which account for 70% of the U.S. economic growth. Introducing new solutions: the Sesame app. Social distancing measures are generating long lines at certain stores, while customers are sparse at other stores. Overcrowded stores pose a significant risk for transmission of COVID-19, but undercrowded stores risk bankruptcy. Sesame is a mobile app that benefits both consumers and corporations by allowing customers to reserve a timeslot for entry at retail stores for store rewards. Consumers gain guaranteed entrance to stores upon arrival, rewards at their favorite stores, and confidence that their health is prioritized. Corporations eliminate long lines and galvanize new customer interest. Sesame includes features suited to consumer and corporate needs such as scheduling calendars, Sesame loyalty rewards, store sanitation ratings, and QR code entrance access.
