My goal here is to provide an all encompassing, actionable, and replicable, de facto guide for restaurants to not only navigate this crisis, but to capture market share and come out leaner and stronger on the other side. The show notes on this one are lengthy, but absolutely worth reading through and clicking through. As always, please reach out on social media @foodservicepod and let me know what you think. Share this episode with restaurant owners, managers, and industry workers might enjoy this content. Thanks! -David
