Good2Go
Good2Go is a San Francisco-based startup company established in 2014. With the goal of using technology to enable people to have access to a modern and convenient restroom, the company offers a digital platform in which individuals can locate and access hi-tech, safe and clean restrooms through its network of retail partners and mobile units.<.p>
The number of public restrooms is insufficient in the United States. In addition, those that do exist may not offer people sanitary or safe conditions. To address this need, Good2Go has launched a network of restrooms and is establishing and popularizing a secure access system through which people can find and access reliable, secure and convenient restrooms all through its mobile application. The number of inquiries from large supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, gas stations, convenience marts and local governments in the United States is increasing. The company is also launching a hi-tech mobile restroom, aimed at developing a service that enables people to locate and access modern restrooms at venues and outdoor events all through its mobile application.
How Good2Go’s mobile app works: First, a person chooses a restroom in their desired location; once onsite, the individual joins the virtual queue. Second, the person unlocks the restroom using the in-app digital key. Third, using the app, the individual provides a rating of the conditions of the restroom for the onsite retail partner.
