WATCH: Midlands takeaway's GENIUS collection system amid coronavirus lockdown

One Laois takeaway has come up with an inventive way to adapt their business model in line with the Covid-19 containment measures.

Rose Palace Chinese Takeaway, situated on the Well Road just off the Main Street in Portlaoise, has implemented a novel way of continuing to trade as the country is gripped by the Covid-19 virus. 

Orders are placed and paid for over the phone and instead of simply opening door and handing over the food, risking a direct breach of social distancing, the takeaway uses what looks like a rope pulley-system to lower than the food via an upstairs window.
