Do you think business for traditional restaurants is coming to an end, and ushering in a new type of business with dark kitchens?
Answered by:
I am the owner/operator of my restaurant Whiskey Six BBQ. Since March 2020 we have adapted and had success not only in the restaurant but with our catering division. Our take out business has gone from 10% to 90% of restaurant sales. Fortunately BBQ travels well in packaging so our take out customers are happy. When it comes to catering, our wedding revenue dropped by 80% but our corporate catering sales grew. It is all about developing, learning, adapting and listening during these tough pandemic times.
