8. OBJECTION HANDLING
“Won’t people just use Uber Eats?”
Not when FLOWBELT is 1/5th the cost, takes 1/5th the time, and doesn’t cancel on you.
“Will warm items go bad?”
Each is sealed, date-tracked, and held within food-safe temp zones. We notify before expiry.
“What if my tenants don’t use it?”
You’ll get usage reports—and tenants can suggest new flavors in the app. Your menu evolves in real time.
“What about cleaning?”
Belt auto-sanitizes nightly. Just wipe the exterior glass, and empty the tray catcher. 5-minute weekly upkeep.
