New York -- Companies offering so-called virtual doormen services are helping developers in New York and elsewhere save on staffing costs, a company executive says.
Colin Foster, sales and marketing vice president for Virtual Doorman, said his New York company offers developers the chance to avoid hiring an on-site doorman for their properties, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Instead, those developers can hire Virtual Doorman or similar companies to watch their properties' doors and buzz in guests from distant locations.
Virtual Doormen staffers make $15 an hour and can videotape all property guests while collecting names from all unexpected site visitors.
