A local vendor who sells popular Ghanaian delicacy, Waakye, which is made by cooking rice and beans together, has taken her branding to another level.

In a video that was shared on the Instagram handle of Hiz_Sarpomaah_Official, customers were made to line up orderly in a queue whilst each of them had specific tags.

This unconventional initiative is thought to have been implemented in order to prevent wrongful overtaking by some customers and ensure that the buying and selling process is completely smooth.

Meanwhile, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia mentioned in a previous report that retailers who sell waakye, beans, Kofi brokeman (roasted plantain), trotro, and all you can think of, would start receiving cashless payment.

He explained that Ghana was moving to a cashless society and further indicated that a universal QR code will be launched by the Bank of Ghana to facilitate the new process.
