An industry in crisis is mobilizing to help its own

A week and a half ago, a restaurateur told one of our editors here that this was going to be worse than 9/11 for the industry. We thought hewas fearmongering. Turns out it was an understatement.

I’m going to assume that you, like me, are fairly caught up on how devastating this is. That the industry is staring down the barrel of a $225 billion revenue hit and 5 million to 7 million jobs lost. That a bailout is in order. That a significant number of small businesses are done for good.

Instead, I’m simply going to highlight a list of stories of generosity and ingenuity. These are the stories that emerge in every crisis that this restaurant world has faced — from Katrina to Sandy, the wildfires to 9/11. Because more often than not, people get into hospitality to connect with and serve others, to build a community.

It seems that every day the unthinkable becomes the likely. And every day I read a new story about someone stepping up. My favorites are below.
