CINCINNATI (AP) — In the battle to keep their New York City restaurant going despite sharp restrictions during the coronavirus outbreak, the owners of Il Posto Accanto are relying on something Beatrice Tosci would have considered sacrilege in normal times.
Vaughn predicts the crisis will change the industry.
“People have changed habits,” Vaughn said. “When the green light goes on, we don’t expect to come back as status quo … when we go to whatever that new norm is, we’ll see if we can continue it (groceries) if it’s a service the community wants.”
And so would the rest of the country…
Meanwhile, Covidiot-In-Chief is considering easing restrictions on movement sooner than federal public health experts recommend, hence that America Re-Open on Easter Sunday…
Maybe because 6 of his revenue-producing clubs/hotels were shut down due to Covid-19.
Emoluments Violation…Profiting from Office…
Instead of focusing on his job as POTUS
Covidiot-In-Chief just thinks about ME ME ME ME
Still the Criminal-In-Chief despite the pandemic!
I get culture and fine dining, but then I stop and think of Chef Jose Andres and his philosophy of chefs can and should be able to help feed people in times of crisis.
Restaurants are chaos and chefs — restaurant people — we manage chaos very well. After a hurricane, you see a lot of chaos, and people go hungry and people go thirsty. But what we are very good at is understanding the problem and adapting. And so a problem becomes an opportunity. That’s why I think … more and more you’re going to be seeing more [chefs] in these situations. We’re practical. We’re efficient. And we can do it quicker faster and better than anybody.
This one hits close to home. My daughter has been working at this chain restaurant for the past 8 months as a server. About a month ago, she was hired as an assistant manager, which meant she could also work in the kitchen. That one move allowed her to continue to work (only PT of course) despite the fact that they had to lay off the server staff. She is one of the fortunate ones.
Even if Dear Leader wants the country to open up by Easter, dining habits are going to have to change. The trend was more leaning towards delivery and carry out for most restaurants anyway, now more so with Covid-19. People are going to be reluctant to dine in for a long time (maybe years or so), so restaurants are going to have adapt or die.
