 “We have been overwhelmed with the support of local restaurants that are committed to servicing the Soda City during these unprecedented times,” said Khali Gallman, Soda City Certified™ app creator. “We understand that people are still in need of food and have limitations of getting to and from restaurants and grocery stores. App users gain real-time information about the hours of operation, curbside or delivery service, specials and discounts, and out of stock items. Keeping users informed while supporting the longevity of food establishments are our goals.”
