WASHINGTON — It’s the good news we’ve been waiting for, for ages! Businesses reopening and things getting back to normal.
But some things from the pandemic weren’t all bad, let’s call them “pandemic perks.” Like, fine dining restaurants turning to delivery services and more stores allowing curbside and contactless pickups.
Some restaurants have decided to limit their online orders as they balance the return on in-person dining.
“Actually, now as we’re opening back up we’ve turned off our third-party delivery services,” Jennifer Meltzer said.
Meltzer is the managing partner at All Set Restaurant and Bar and Money Muscle BBQ in downtown Silver Spring, Md. As patrons start flowing back into her restaurants, she’s doing her best to manage the in-person dining experience.
“I’m having to balance, how long our guests are going to wait in the restaurant for their food, to have a dining experience, because I can’t, I can’t control the flow of tickets,” Meltzer added.
