Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"

Too Small To Fail. The Hospitality Industry Organizes Relief Efforts

Episode Summary

We’ve optimistically dubbed this season as RE-Opening soon, talking to chefs and restaurateurs impacted by the Coronavirus Crisis. We hope to get some advice, share some of the pain and find hope for the future. In the past week business owners were left with 2 losing prospects: close and lay everyone off or pivot to take out and delivery risking your health and that of your team. And 7 million people working in hospitality have found themselves newly unemployed. One bright spot is the coming together of the industry, each city has activated groups so their collective may be heard louder and non-profits like the LEE Initiative are providing aid.
