Let me be real for a second—I love supporting local restaurants and shops, but I hate waiting in line. Whether it’s grabbing lunch on a tight schedule or picking up something from my favorite corner bakery, there’s always that dreaded moment of standing around awkwardly while others get served before me. That was, until I discovered ParkThrough. What Is ParkThrough?
