The Ministry of Commerce launched a website currently in its trial stages to enable expats and residents to book appointments to shop at coops in their area at specific dates and times. The launch of the shopping reservation system is in experimental launch for access to the public to view the system and try the various features in preparation for the official launch within days.
The system is currently under testing. Please make note on the official account of the Ministry Trade and Industry on Twitter about the system of booking shopping appointments after trying it. The website allows for changing dates, shopping times, and highlights the number shoppers for each market separately. With the site, shoppers can gain access to slaughterhouses, fish markets, cooperative societies, catering branches and central markets.
The trial website is being developed and will be altered based on suggestions. Customers have to enter their Civil id number, cell phone number and email address. They also have to choose their booking destination, and available markets.
Once the customer has fixed the time and place, security authorities will check the supplied bar code to verify credibility of the information for entry and exit. The shopping reservation system is part of Kuwait’s harsher measures to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country by limiting gatherings, with the possibility of implementing a full curfew. This reservation system will reduce crowding, mixing among customers and limit wait times in the market
