Staffing Smarter, Not Harder
This is also where technology earns its keep. Stella, the AI robot employee and phone receptionist, can handle a significant portion of the customer interaction load during busy events. Her in-store kiosk presence means she's greeting and engaging every customer who walks through the door — answering product questions, promoting current deals, and freeing up your human staff to focus on the outdoor floor and transactions. Meanwhile, she's answering every phone call that comes in, so you're not losing potential customers to voicemail while your team is stretched thin outside.

Quick Reminder About Stella
Stella is an AI robot employee and phone receptionist built for businesses like yours. She stands inside your store as a friendly, knowledgeable kiosk — greeting customers, answering questions, and promoting your deals — while simultaneously handling phone calls 24/7 with the same business knowledge she uses in person. At just $99/month with no upfront hardware costs, she's the team member who never needs a lunch break, never calls in sick, and never misses a customer — especially useful on your busiest days.
Make Your Next Sidewalk Sale Your Best One Yet
- Plan early. Secure your permit, choose your inventory strategically, and brief your team at least a week in advance.
- Design for visibility. Use height, color, and clear signage to create a display that earns a second glance from the street.
- Assign clear roles. Split responsibilities between outdoor engagement, indoor service, and checkout — and make sure everyone knows the upsell targets for the day.
- Capture contacts. Give every visitor a reason to share their email or phone number and follow up within 48 hours.
- Debrief and improve. Review your data, talk to your team, and apply what you learned to the next event.
