"TeaPotBrew Bakery, a family-owned cake haven in South Loop, has recalibrated its space to keep workers and patrons protected during the pandemic. Staff use dividers and floor stickers to show people where to form a socially-distanced line inside the bakery, but if numbers become too great, they immediately switch over to a numbered buzzer system with devices that alert waiting customers that their orders are ready. There are also two retractable garage doors that workers open when the weather allows it." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
