Traffic reports for the time-crunched
The one bad thing about Cortina’s Italian Market in Anaheim, Calif., an avid fan of the deli-pizzeria explained to me, is the wait. With relatively few true Italian markets in southern California, the crowd can be thicker than the tomato sauce.
The market has addressed that issue with what amounts to a traffic report. An online tool provides a day-by-day, hour-by-hour projection of what the customer traffic will be like, based on historical analysis. Look for a lull, and you won’t find your wait being measured in pages torn off the calendar. You can see the tool here.
