The Washington, DC, restaurant is still making money during a lockdown — even though it's empty.
Washington restaurant Seven Reasons laid off almost its entire staff before transitioning to delivery and takeout service.They weren't alone. As of mid-April, four in 10 restaurants in the country had closed because of the coronavirus.
"We were so busy. We were receiving like 17 orders per minute and we collapsed completely," Limardo said. "I was yelling like crazy, 'Shut down everything, we cannot serve!'" "We didn't even have containers to deliver the products," Poveda said. "We had to work with what we had. It ended up being very successful. I received more than 115 orders. At one point, we had a list of more than 20 tickets. I didn't know what to do."
Why only 40%?! With the current US Coronavirus stats, all restaurants should be closed.
Really good food to die for & a little ingenuity!
