A Canarsie man created an app
that is designed to help people in the neighborhood save time and money.
Jean Rony Saintard, who owns several restaurants
in the area, created the EZSwiftShops app. It allows users to skip the long lines in stores when they have 15 items
or less.
Customers can scan the item's barcode with their phone and pay through
the app – allowing customers to still shop in person
without wasting time on a line.
The
app also offers customers a wide array of options to choose from such as
grocery and hardware stores, and even booking appointments online at beauty
salons.
He
says unlike other apps that charge higher fees, his only charges customers an
additional 10% fee on their orders.
