This pandemic is having an immediate and long-term impact on small businesses. From lockdown to restrictions, and social distancing, small business owners have had to adapt and find solutions to keep their business running. 
 

Digital channels are becoming the new norm. For example, local farmers have been embracing digital technologies as a way to directly sell produce. 
 

A positive trend from this new norm is the support for small and local businesses. People are specifically seeking out local, independently-owned businesses. Many social media campaigns are dedicated to shopping locally and #supportlocalbusiness or #shoplocal are trending. 
 

At GoodBarber, we’re here to support you and help you keep your business open by offering you solutions adapted to your needs.

 

Restaurant: Stay open and continue to serve your clients with online ordering

The hospitality industry has been amongst the most affected sectors by multiple lockdown and strict guidelines. 

Create an app to keep your restaurant open: 

  • Offer online ordering with pick-up and local delivery options. 
  • With secured online payment or offline payment options, your clients can still get their favorite meals.
  • As experienced by our clients, an app will also help you reach new clients and can become your main source of traffic. 
 

Grocery shop: Serve your local community with local delivery and Click and Collect

With the closures of restaurants, online grocery stores have seen a surge in their sales. Create an app for your shop and become your local community's go-to grocery store.

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.

Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter.
